Yes, I'm a member of TDH. Yes, I'm very poor at checking the forums. :) I'm sure Tom has sent you a PM about the armor parties, but if you need any specific advice with Boba, shoot me a PM or an email and I'll help you out if I can.

I'm not a GML, but I have been contacted before to help approve Boba costumes. Honestly, I've never even thought to examine the chest light sequences to see what they display. I'm not sure how many GMLs would.
Actually, that is a very interesting delimma. If someone has an excellent, with the...
I *still* haven't had a chance to meet JB yet. Work just canceled my trip to ShevaCon :( but I'll keep trying! TDH has done a WHOLE lot for me though. Honestly, I never thought I could build a Boba suit when I first got into costuming. TDH created my Boba. It really did. I just put it together...
I went with ESB because I love the movie. IN ESB, Boba is quiet, mysterious, dangerous, and *talks back to Vader*!! I'd also agree with El1te, the suit seems more unified than the ROTJ one. And I'm sure people will disagree, but I do NOT like the colour scheme on the ROTJ backpack. It's just...
Probably has a lot to do with the 501st. They accept Omega, Delta, or plain white. No custom commandos. (I personally would love to do a purple one from Mace Windu's Legion.)
And yes, it was EL wire above the visor. That's fine. There is an AC/DC transformer to power it. I borrowed some...
Thank you. I've got the armor on a mannequin. The lighted visor doesn't work anymore. :( but I have a great story about having a helmet catch on fire now, lol.

Art definitely makes a good point. And I can agree with him. And I personally hate the very idea of politically correct. ;) But I would also stress discretion and look at your motivation behind the banning. There are some forums I am a member of that have other members I can't stand. (And I...
Well....difficult question. These forums....well, there is nothing that mandates who can be a member and who can't. I think a lot of discretion would have to be used. I would also say the content of the posting is a major factor. If the said member is just saying things like "I hate Boba cause...
One guy asked me what I thought of his suit, and I pointed out several details that were wrong for the version he was doing. I immediately followed it with "of course, only the guys on TDH would ever notice that." :)

I've got a set of Ruff gauntlets; they took some work to get them done. More recently I got some wrist launcher resin pieces from him for some custom Mandos I'm building. Communications were less than stellar. When they arrived, two of the launchers were ok. One seemed a little rough, and one...
There is nothing that says 501st members can't be a droid. It just has to be the right droid. Owning a mouse droid won't get you in the 501st, since that's not a costume you can wear. 4-LOM is acceptable. Any human-wearable costume (ie one of the 3PO clones) seen as working for the Empire (or...
