Okay, I admit the title is misleading. It's only indoor skydiving, in the vertical wind tunnel in Denver. Just thought you'd be interested in seeing what I'm doing while on vacation. Skip to 2:20 to see my flight. Or better yet, skip to 3:44 when I finally get control. TgDwQ3sHU0o Afterwards, the in...

Forget the game! I wanna see this movie!

I have heard from multiple people recently that they have issues staying logged in . I suspect that this is caused by using a www in the address for the forums (by default, there should NOT be one).

For those that didn't get the title.

Your Boba rocks!! Man you're making me wanna do one now.

My latest progress on the dome.

I have a ton of parts that I'm not gonna be using because I decided I wanted to take an easier (yet more expensive) route. I'll have to research what I paid for 'em, but they're yours at cost, or maybe even cheaper if you want 'em. I'll throw another armor party / BBQ sometime and you can come over ...

I got my boots (and FX armor) from Trik Toys a long time ago (before I even knew about the 501st). As far as I can tell, back then they were just ordering them from CABoots (now sold on their partner site, pimpinshoes.com). If I'm not mistaken, these are one of, if not the most common boots TKs buy....

I would NOT use any rivets, unless they will be used in places you can't see. I got away with them on my shoulder straps and knee sniper plate, but I also painted them white to hide them. That's about as much as you can get away with I think. And even then, the rules may have been tightened. Ral? Rh...
