Shadow

Thought I would post this... I've been wanting to do this for sometime and I hope to get started soon, but I am going to try to desgin a flat pack for the main boxs on Weir's belt. I need to upgrade soon and thought using styrene to make the boxes lighter would be a good idea. With that I want to make a flat pack of each box. You would then be able to print...place on your styrene...cut out..and then glue. Again this might take sometime as I have to work all this out...but the idea is there! Trying to help the future Weirs out there! I'll start a new thread once I get a chance to get started on this. I have a LOT of projects I'm working right now so this might still be a little while before I can get this rolling.

THANKS TO ALL!!! This place helped keep me going when I didn't want to. This feels great! The first General Weir in the Legion...... so awesome!!

So, I hear some people are looking for me? I became a true "shadow" and disappeared for a while. We are "Spec Ops" so we should be hard to find. After CV life caught up with me a little bit, but all is fine now. I also started a month long project build in October that took me away from the world of Star Wars for a bit. Then Christmas came and then after Christmas came....blah..blah... and the rest is history. But with that said I hope to get Weir back out and get another shot at approval. Again sorry for the long absences, a lot going on and very little time to spread around.

I can't believe I missed you crazas. There were sooo many people I wanted to meet but that place was so big. I'm suprise I found mos of you. Again thanks guys, I'm glad you all liked it. I was really suprised at how many people knew who I was, even to the kids! I guess having an action figure come out a few months before CV helped. So, during CV my GML told me he couldn't approve me. Weir doesn't have three refences. He told me he LOVED the costume and that this was all that was holding him back. Is there anything else I could do, or is this a done deal until a three refence comes out? I am still VERY happy with this costume and plan to get much wear out of it, apporved or not!

Here are two of the BEST pics I have! And they are GOOD!!!! I'm sure more will pop up on Facebook down the road. Weir was a HUGH hit at CV! It was Great to meet some of Spec Ops guys. Sorry I didn't catch others, that was one big place!!!

Nice to see all the buckets together and see how they compare to each other. Very Nice!

Is the Spec Ops photo after the Legion photo? If it is and Weir is not approved, then I will be in my Snowtrooper. So, I don't know how this will work. I REALLY want to be in the Legion pic, first time for this. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Just in case.

Pics have been submitted!! Now, I wait.

I'll send them to him tonight and let him know about new ones after CV.

Soooo, work has me on overtime ALL week and on Saturday. Doesn't look like I will have the time to submit Weir for 501st aprroval before CV. I just have to much to do before I leave. Don't have the time to take new pictures. So, Weir won't get the stamp of approval before CV...BUT the good news is Weir WILL be at CV!!! That was my goal from the start of this costume. Once I get back I will work with my GML and get this costume APPROVED!!! Now, let's get ready to CELEBRATE!!! Thanks for all the comments and the GREAT help while working on this costume!!

Are the outside pics okay to send? I did take side shots just incase. If so I could send them tonight!

OKAY here are the PICS!! This took me 5 months to build. (Really 2 years ) I give you.....GENERAL WEIR!!!!! I had to do this!

Got the holster on the boot this morning!!! I am editing the photo shoot now. Just have to load them and post them soon!!!!! Heat index during the shoot....103!! Prep for the Orlando heat!! izzi, I don't know if I'm ready for approval yet. I don't have a scout pistol right now due to CV funds. NOW, this has been something I wanted to bring up and that is in the comic General Weir is always using what looks like an E-11. So, the case could be made that the pistol and the E-11 would work for him. This would, of course have to be worked out during the process of approval I'm sure. The only BIG thing that I have to fix is the collar on my coveralls. I have a piece to make a closer, but havn't had a chance to sew it on. Once that piece is on I will try sending in pics. Will I need to send anything else? Weir may not be "offical" yet but he WILL be at CV!!!! Okay...pictures coming soon!!

Boots are DONE!!!! Just waiting on the flaps to dry. Tomorrow adding the holster and fixing a "few" things. With luck and no rain I could have some outside pictures tomorrow afternoon!!!! General Weir is almost here!!!

Oh I forgot.....my mom is AWESOME!!!!!
