I definitely agree it’s unfair to allocate slots evenly, as it creates a disparity. It’s much harder for a member of a larger club to make it to limited events, and can cause animosity amongst members if a single member is lucky enough to land a slot multiple times in a row. Additionally it can create animosity amongst clubs if one…[Read more]

Currently, every club gets an equal number of slots, however doing so causes undue stress on large clubs as many members competing for a small amount of slots is challenging. On the flip side, it’s common that many of the smaller clubs don’t…[Read more]

Need to attach and create straps (also want to create some padding so it doesn’t scratch my armor…hoping to use leftover padding from the Pauldron…)

A few differences:
Ukswrath used a lot of styrene or thick craft paper. I wound up using a lot of cardboard and lids from the original containers.

Meaning I think it’s ready to troop with, but there’s still dozens more things I’d love to do with it given infinite time. It’s still “factory black” though, haven’t had a chance to weather it yet. Also postponing the SFX part until I finish the other HWT elements. But hey, I got a big gun!

Wheelchair or no, it doesn’t matter. You might have to make some adaptions (work with the GMLs on that), but there’s not any 501st costumes that you couldn’t build if you wanted to.

But adding on to Steven’s thoughts of integrating the wheelchair into the costume…pretty much anything…[Read more]

We’re actually working on standardizing the costume names. Except it’s surprisingly difficult to implement. Until we get it squared away on our end, the best thing to do is make sure to register in advance for events, and write your costume name in a standard format, as that feeds directly into the TOD.
