Hi Don! Thanks for visiting the ISG forums! Here is a link to sign up for an account and get full 501st level access: @ChiefTrag is one of our members who is in the Imperial Valley and has been our liaison with the BLM and IV Film Commission. He was just saying at San Diego Comic Con how he wanted to get the Star Wars event at Buttercup started again!

Hi Crystal! Glad to hear that your visit to SDCC has inspired you to sign up! As you were probably told at the table, the 501st has no height requirements for any character. You can be a 5'2" stormtrooper or a 6'3" Jawa! You might just hear "aren't you just a little short to be a stormtrooper?" until your ears bleed though... Definitely keep an eye here for upcoming armor party posts! We would love to see you there and get to know you! We also ALWAYS need non-costumed assistants at events to keep the costumers who can't see well from wandering into traffic or from dying from dehydration...

Welcome to the ISG forums Chris! Glad to hear that you found the panel inspirational! That's why we do it! Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on digging up info, but if there is anything we can do to help, please let us know!

A note from @DymnDog... Beth Accomando of KPBS will be at Colleen’s from 10-12 and wants to interview and take videos and photos if people are OK with that.

That would be a great spot for a WIP post!

That's great! Glad to hear you have already been browsing the FSE forums! Knowing what direction you want to go is outstanding! We have a couple others that are working on Revan costumes now, so hopefully they will be able to offer up some pointers to help you avoid missteps! They have a couple threads posted here: http://imperialsandsgarrison.com/forums/index.php?/forum/75-isg-academy-flagship-eclipse/ Let me know if you don't have enough access to follow the link and we'll see if we can't bump you up a bit! @tattooed_pariah @Avatar Lore

Hi Chris! Thanks for saying hello! Is there a specific costume you are thinking about building?

Yuck... Those have to be pretty nasty at this point. Can we get some fresh ones?

I'll bring your baggie of merch...

I'll be there and will bring a flat of water. And I'll bring patches to trade!

Having the Saber Guild folks check on the grill, as this is the same park that they practice in.

I don't know... I like that dish a LOT. It is the perfect scoop for cleaning out the cat boxes! :p

Hey Michael- You have MMCC access. Welcome to the ISG forums! Let us know if there is anything we can do to help with your clone!

Happy to help. Bumped you up to 501st level access...

Happy to offer other advice... I'm one of the Detachment Costume Advisors for the Krayt Clan! There are not any specific color names for the dark and light brown leathers. You are correct about the snout wraps being much thicker than the leather folded inside. Usually the inside is very thin so that it is easy to fold inside... In the past I have used lambskin or other light weight, fine grained leathers for it. For the tubing for the respirator, I normally use the 1/4" copper tubing that is used to connect water lines to refrigerators?
