I wonder if there is a video somewhere. Next year we'll have to somehow have a MCB gathering of stormtroopers.

I wish I saw this. I'm not geeky about star wars, but I still really enjoy the movies, and to see a mass of Storm Troopers would be awesome. Hrm...a PB team out-fitted in custom-painted storm trooper costumes...with special masks...armed with VMs or Vectors.....

Disguise a pod pack like the backpack that the Sandtroopers have on (also have a camel pack in it and such).

I think you would reconsider that idea when you find out it is over a grand to put together one of those mold injected armor kits and that is doing all the work yourself. I don't think it would handle the abuse. Cool idea though if it could work. I have seen what they call "garbage can" armor that would make a nice sci fi set. It uses a (new of course) rubbermade can that is cut into overlaping sections and attached to a flight suit or similar outfit. Would be easy to make armor similar to starship troopers or aliens.

Yer right...I would think twice, for a few moments. :P As I said, later on down the road, when I am settled down and such, out of the AF and able to do something like that. Talk about intimidation.

LOL If ya ever want to see the 501 in force just go to DragonCon every Laborday weekend down in Atlanta Georgia. They have a nice little rivaly with the 21st Cobra Infintry. In fact a couple of years ago The Cobras changed their taging rules out of respect for all the hard work that goes into that armor. No more do the stickers go on the shiny white.Now they put it on their weopons and ConBadges when they arent looking. They are also the ones you saw in all the clips down at Epcot when they released Episode 1 all formed up in ranks and such. Yeop hard core costumers (NOT CosPlayers!) where in all those suites and Emperial Officer uniforms NOT payed actors. Kinda scary huh.

Even had one or two of them out there playing in full armor. Now THAT was a sight to see! And yes, the second picture he was posing after getting shot, no playing on here!
