Great Lakes Garrison & Base

I am a couple of weeks away from my wait on armor being over.. I am super excited to get my build started. I have been trying to get an understanding of the process and steps i will have to take to get my TK ID number and 501st membership approval. Do I do that via the great lakes garrison initiall...

the mic is one that you can use in cellphone for hands free use. (its not a bluetooth)

i have a speaker for my tk. However, it feedbacks when i place it under the chest plate. I think the mic is picking up signal from speaker. Any tips? I dont have aker or icom.
Thanks.

one of many things that inspired me to join the 501st is the short film TROOPS, a mocking of the show cops. I always thought of doing one making references and lifestyles of Detroit (something kinda robocop).

Any thoughts on this?

how can I have access to event trooping sign in? I am already approved

Natural is good, but you need to watch the angle of the sun in order to not cause a shadow. Mid afternoon was the time of day that worked for my photos. If taking your photos inside take in a room with the most natural light, the more windows the better. Hope this helps :thumbs: any good places? I ...

any tips or links on profile pictures? I need to take them outside .

Another thing is Jango, Boba and the Clonetroopers. Everyone is a clone of Jango, right? Well the Jango actor is 5’7”, and the Boba actor is 6’. That almost a half foot height difference between father and son …even though Boba was before Jango. Chicken and the egg story. :lol: so the response to t...

I'd love to do a stormtrooper but being over 6'7'' I'm afraid I'd look goofy, like I already do out of costume :lol: . Not that I advocate not doing a costume because of your "natural proportions", because I may still do one in the future if I still have the bug. I'm exhausting the "...

It seems to be the line the general public remembers, so we hear it ALL THE TIME. Doesn't matter if the trooper is 6'2", somebody will throw that line at him. The actual ANH movie Stormtroopers were between 5'7"-5'11". i know. I guess you have to be as tall as chewie to be normal sto...

so I know that the cut out is 5'5. However, anything below 6 feet tall is "short for a stormtrooper" how short troopers deal with the line " are u a little short for a stormtrooper" I am 5'7 and watching family guy blue harvest game me insight of what to respond. But I dont think...
