we're supposed to be in character.
try asking an officer to mind, maybe we get extra duties by doing so.. :lol: maybe even demoted to janitor.. :lol:
personally i think an officer looks better than a person in civilian clothing doing the minding. of course, officer can turn their minding to giving orders, like what CO2 has been doing. 8)

kids are Ok though some of them can be rather playful. i'm more concern about those pretty droids.
Im more concern abt troopers who get sidetracked easily. :twisted: Basically i feel imperial officers are there to lead and watch our sixes

But I do not mind buying over a bar rank from you people.

One was using the imperial star fleet rank 6. Or the Blue is below and the Red is on top

Well, if you look around IOC or TDH a bit, there are many people complaining about SFP products, namely quality and communications with the dealer. Don't know if any of our local guys got the same experience.

I don't really think any of us make rank bars. I'd made a prototype from aluminum for my future officer, but I'm still lacking the LED caps. Gonna pick them up from Desmond. Can send you the dimensions and some pictures if you want.

It is hard to check the quality becuase it is online base that is the problem.

I think I just lazy to make and I can't find the shop that was selling the LED today T_T... For sidetack to seeing computer games :x And now then I found out that I went to the wrong building. It is at sim Lim TOWER not Sq

May be this weekend will try again to go and find the shop.

But any idea what kind of backing to use when making the bar?

Hmm...latest I heard was that its still there last November. Might wanna give them a call before actually going there.

Since your rank bar is basically one piece of metal, you may not need to use a backing. If you wish so, I use a thin piece of PVC, spray painted matte black, stuck on the metal with GOOP. The PVC can be found at Art Friend. If you go to the Bras Basah branch, its place below the section where they sell acrylic sheets. I'd tried CA glue (aka Superglue), but it cracked when the PVC sheet bend.

If I remember correctly, Desmond used acrylic wrapped with chrome sticker and back it with adhesive velcro.

I thot of making one last November using Aluminium Sheet but of course, realized its too thin.


Am planning to get proper base from a fellow trooper anyhow when I got the money to spare; make as well spend on it since my uniform already cost double of others :oops: and it's a project planned since a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (aka it's more of my Character's Costume :P Now when am I gonna get the Green Wig? :lol: )

Have to check out the stuff on thus at Art friend.

Where do you think can get people to cut the acrylic to size in Bras Basah?

There is actually a type of cutter you can use to cut Acrylic, probably available at Art Friend too. ;)

To be accurate, I'd used 1/8" thick alumininum sheet.. Real pity I can't get them to shine very well

Desmond made mine.

If you don't mind spending a bit of money/ waiting you could wait til your entry is approved and then buy a decent rank plaque from one of the guys @ the 501st forums...

Hmm if you want only for temporary - those few days - maybe you could ask around and see if anyone can lend you a rank plaque. There are a few ppl who are not attending as officers during STGCC.

xD no idea what Frodo means.
