Topic: Tamer is finally getting a Driver Costume

[Tamer]

I like the look of it. Maybe I will just get one like it. Black would certainly match. Thanks Serg.

Had great fun trooping this past weekend. I really enjoyed the Blast a Trooper Event where we raised a good bit of money for the Children's Hospital. For some reason those kids really seemed to like to shoot me instead of the other troopers. It might have had something to do with me taunting them on their accuracy. It was great fun.

On a costume related note I am adding a hot glue gun and super glue to my travel tote. I had a small piece come of my breather box and while not really noticeable it drove me nuts I didn't have enough foresight to realize I probably would need to reattach that at some point. I hot glued that puppy back on yesterday and it seems the most solid it has ever been. It is kinda cool being the only AT-AT Driver in my garrison, but sounds like a few are working on one.

I am also now in the process of getting my own TA51506 trading cards. I will post a few pics when I get em in. I also see the need to get me a small tote I can hold my E-11 in and just bungie it to my regular rolly tote. More on that when I get it figured out. I need to find a plastic box just right, hopefully one that will lock like my tote.

Saw it on Facebook... Looks like a lot of fun AND it is a duty for a great cause!

That it is. We raised a lot of money for the local children's hospital. Means a lot to me personally as my daughter spent two weeks there extremely ill when she was 5.

Very cool!!

[Tamer]

Very cool!!

Thanks Serg. Just bough me an ICOMM System and some usb powered cooling fans. That was the longest I had ever spend int he helmet (over 5 hours) and even indoors it got a bit hot in there.

I bet it was cool, but difficult at the same time.

BTW I cannot see the above pics anymore.

Not sure what is going on. Still showing up for me.

This is what I see:

[Tamer]

Don't know Serg. Its still there for me. Its an [html ] tag and I just checked it. Sometimes bbc code goes a bit wonky using the html tag and I am assuming that is what is going on here.

Maybe it is because of the FB pics

Could be. Still there for me this morning too. Don't know whats up.

Well I have been inundated this week with requests to see how I have my box packed so here are a few shots of what it looks like inside. I have to credit my awesome wife with make me the fabric padded cases for my armor pieces (chest box, back box, shoulder armor), but everything fits along with a few crafting supplies should I need to do some emergency repair (glue gun, parts, super glue, trading cards, etc.).













I also credit my bucket bag (made by one Wally Peters) with ensuring my bucket is safe. I have not had one accident or broken part with anything since I have packed it this way. Once again, I have had a few messages about how I pack it this week so I thought I would show folks here. I know it wouldn't fit a Stormtrooper or Clonetrooper Full Kit, but anything with half armor I would think would work perfectly for this. Once again this started out life as just a Sterilite Footlocker from wal-mart:

I also forgot to mention I got some great new trading cards designed by the local garrison:

Thanks Serg. I have some blue fabric just like it I am gonna use to make a bag for my trooping E-11 along with a smaller plastic tote I am gonna rig up to latch onto the footlocker somewhere.
