Great Lakes Garrison & Base

I have updated the first post on this thread showing the total charitable contributions received/raised last year, currently totalling $16481 ! As the Great Lakes Garrison attends many charity events, we are not necessarily told how much money has been raised. But what I do know is we always help bo...

Next week I will be submitting our total amount raised from charity events in 2012 to the 501st Legion Charity Officer. If you have received any charitable contributions from an event last year, and not already notified me (or posted on this thread) can you please do so within the next few days. Tha...

I did plenty of research before deciding on AP armor.
My top tip, is take your time!

Fantastic! Thanks

As we begin another year of events (and hopefully fundraising along the way), can anyone who receives a charitable contribution or attends a charity event where we are the main reason for the event, please post on this thread the amount received/event/date and charity.
Thanks

If anyone has received a charitable contribution from an event this year, can you please give me the total amount, stating which charity the contribution was for.

If you have already notified one of the officers of a contribution, then it will already have been logged.

Thanks

Good job guys!

Wow! This is fantastic, I can't wait to see it at Maker Faire.

And I'm sure the Muppet Troopers are looking forward to meeting another pig!

Definitely screws/bolts and nuts to make it servicable should you need to take it apart.
If you rivet it, this will be more dificult to take apart.
I'm glad I did this to mine, as a couple of times I've had to disassemble it to make modifications.

Good job Darren!

If you are after cheap Hasbro E11 blaster to convert, just found this guy on Craigslist, who's selling a couple of E11 for $5 each plus some lightsabres, etc.

Wow! This is fantastic. I've always been a fan of power droids (or gonk droids!)...

and now you have your own, to do domestic chores around the house, I'm sure!!!!

Good job Lumpy!

All that's missing is a cup of Blue Milk!

Alright! Have ordered the boots, armor, and blaster. If I have time this weekend, I'll be researching more carefully the body suit and smaller accessories. Thanks again everyone for the tips! My biggest challenge will be trimming the armor when it arrives, so I'll be scouring the forums again. I've...

This was a great reference website that I used when deciding what TK armor I was going to do:

Looks an @ss ton better! Now you willscare people. :twisted: :twisted: ...and if you could get hold of one of these, this would scare even more people, the first authorized Chewie costume from 1977! http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2011/10/24/1977-chewbacca-disguise-kit-for-teens-and-adul...

If I need any ceilings painted, you've got the job!

Looking forward to seeing your new legs Saturday!

Yay! Another TK to join the ranks, good to see ESB armor. Looking forward to trooping with you soon.

Good job!

I think this will open the "flood gates" for more armor builders wanting to make a quick buck, and probably of insuperior quality too. Here's the same article but with video, check out the bucket at 2:40mins, definately not 501st approved! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14302227 Capture.JPG
