WOW!!! :shock: What a difference. Your costume always looked great, but this new and improved is over the top!! Great lookin gear, Rhonda. Do you have some shots of your new bucket as well?? Adding the bells, whistles and voice changer is going to throw people for a loop. I can't wait to see it and ...

Welcome aboard!!!

Take a look over at www.thedentedhelmet.com. Click on the forum and do a search for trash can armor. Hope that helps ya.

Actually, some of the mando builders use trash cans to build some of their armor. Surprisingling enough, it works great!!

That would be pretty cool except I would make a few changes to the design. Instead of a cooler, I would utilize a keg and hook it up to an IV. It would be like an all day party riding around on that thing. Hmmm....oh the possibilities.

Uh oh...I'm in trouble now.

How about a bigger car?? I would suggest finding one of those luggage strollers and stack some smaller tubs on it. The smaller tubs would be able to fit in your car much easier than the big tote.

Welcome aboard, bro.

I gotta share it. Check it out:

I will be trooping my Vader for Free Comic Book Day this weekend for the first time. I still have a few things I need to tweak as some of the armor pieces don't lay on my body right, but it shouldn't take me very long to get those things done. I will be upgrading a few of my pieces in the near futur...

I'm not the Imperial Officer guru and don't know if that has been done or not, however...you might find some things that may be of interest to you in this thread if you haven't already:

Good luck with your build.

I'm only one cape chain away from completing this doggone thing. I won't be able to wear this tommorrow, unfortunately, because my cape will just fall to the floor until I can tweak the placement of the cape chain. Next week's event is all game though and will definitely be my first outing in my Vad...

I'm going to be working on the rest of my hems on my cape so I can finish it up. There is a chance that I will have this up and ready to go for this weekend's event. I will share pics later tonight, if I have enough time.

I remember the good ole days when I got to play with toys like that in the Marine Corps. The M203 looks great and a lot of fun to fire, but when it comes to humping that extra weight....watch out. A little goes a long way(The rounds for that thing weigh a ton to carry with you). I can't believe how ...
