Got the news today, I'm approved for 501st Legion. It only took me 13 months.

I should add some thank you's. In addition to everyone who provided general advice and encouragement, there are a few people who provided specific parts I'd like to thank by name. In no particular order:

01 Hawk for accurate left gauntlet keypad
eqdizzle for super-cool helmet fans
salamanderking for gee-whiz rangefinder lights, servo
Darth Vorhees for amazing EE-3 greeblies yet to be used on my next project (the ESB EE-3), and a Casio circuit board cast for my helmet
jc27 for cool jetpack beacon light
woodman for awesome wookie hair braids
RafalFett via Shapeways for excellent jetpack beacon housing, other jetpack greeblies, gauntlet greeblies and missile
Ian Martin, Fellow Garrison Titan member, for perfect 3D printed sidearm, jetpack rocket and thrusters

I hope I didn't forget anyone. In addition to the parts, I want to thank the following folks for their templates, tutorials and patterns:

Darth Mule for flak vest pattern tutorial
WOF's templates for the helmet, gauntlets, armor, jetpack, shin tools and flamethrower
strumfett's tutorial for the ammo belt
Rafalworks templates for paint damage and insignia
toolguy301's pepakura pattern for my sidearm holster.

The rest is scratch built from illustration board, paper cardstock, styrofoam, sintra, cardboard tube, aluminum tube, wood dowels, cotton cloth using a pajama pattern, painter's tarp, lots of spray paint, you name it!

A special thank you to my spouse and kiddo who shall remain nameless here, but who put up with what became an obsession. Now that this milestone has been reached I can agonize over details and upgrade to sintra gauntlets and possibly helmet, and finish my EE-3.
