We were asked by the Bartlett Public Library to come out for their Literacy Night / Family Star Wars night. The contact was a little apprehensive at first about whether or not kids would be afraid of the masked characters. Once we arrived, though, those fears were put to rest. They had a large room ...

On Saturday, April 6th, The Midwest Garrison was invited to a surprise 40th birthday party for a HUGE Star Wars fan near UIC in Chicago. We entered the party at 6:40 pm, posing for pictures with the guests, ranging from kids to adults. Everyone was really happy to see us. The room was decorated with...

Congrats! Looks great! See you trooping soon!

While I worked with ATA, let me know if I can help once building begins. I very recently finished mine. It's VERY Overwhelming at first, but it comes along quicker than you think. I was so scared of ruining mine. I started with the forearms (something less noticeable) in case I made a minor error. I...

From one new trooper to another, welcome!

My wife got some good shots from the sidelines! They've been uploaded to the MWG Photobucket!

Thanks everyone! I'll be at Legoland Sunday and Naperville St Pattys Day the next weekend. Hope to meet some new people!

Just in case you are on the fence, the last 3 holsters have been posted to FISD so they could go at any time! Let us know now if you want one before they are gone!

Thanks a ton Jon! It was great to meet some new people and to get a ton done on my armor! Had a blast!

Score one for the mother in law! She had a nice piece of black leather I can use to make my holster! If anyone has a pattern for it that wants to being it for me, that would be AWESOME! The patterns are available either on the FISD boards (whitearmor.net) or available through google searches for st...

Tandy does have it but you might not be able to buy a small piece of what you need. Ask the guys there if they have any remnants off to the side. Otherwise your looking at buying a big piece for around $80-100. You could make a bunch them. I can tell you for sure that Tandy does not cut hides to se...

If anyone has any spare leather that could be used to make a TK holster and wants to bring it, I'd be grateful. Bout the only thing I do t have or haven't ordered yet. See you all Sunday! Is there appropriate black leather available at Tandy Leather in Elgin? They're very close and you should be ab...

Looks great!

Put me down as a maybe, Jon. I'm not entirely sure what I have that I can work on. If anyone's got snaps, then I could finally finish my Gunner's second holster... I don't think it'd be wise for me to try to spray paint my Gunner armor and then try to get it home, though... Might bring my cracked B...

I'm gonna bring a 3 foot table I have. And all my tools.

Ill bring some snacks and stuff! If anyone has a heat gun or something to heat my belt and ammo pack to get the bends right, I'd appreciate it. I don't have one. I think I will be mostly strapping and snapping by this point so anyone with tips and advice on that will be most helpful! See you there!

Oh I'll be there!
