The food is bringing the people.
So, I guess I have to be there :P
You can also sign my wife up too. (Katie)
-
Shouldn't be an issue...

-
Thank you, Sir!
- Bill
-
I have to talk to the bf but if he doesn't mind I wanna come!
-
i'm down
-
I'm there.
-
Well Jadesfire... drag him along. We all know that it is the woman in the relationship who wields the real power. Just go ahead and use your God-given influences! :wink:
That's right... I threw my lot behind the other team. We all know what they say about kharma.... it has bitten me enough. Now maybe she will be a little more gentle with me???? Yeah, right, who am I kidding? :roll:
- Bill

Roster Updated

That's right... I threw my lot behind the other team.
Traitor... you are now officially out of the He-Man Woman Haters Club!
-
Uh, you've never met Bill, have you? :P J/k Bill, you know we loves ya......
-
ok just chiming in with the "I'm bringing the food" post and so it'll be easier to count by post
and I'll take it by the absents of PM's that no one is allergic to anything that might be in spaghetti, also I've got my online DJ gig that night, and I need to know if I need to get someone to cover or is there internet access that I can make liberal use of? I have my whole set up on laptop so comp isn't an issue.
-
High Speed Wireless, so it souldn't be a problem :)
-
woot!
guess what?!
I can put whoever I want on air then :D
mwahahahaha
/thread highjack off now :D
edit: ok my station manager would like some interviews, pictures and possibly video. Also if anyone has any specific requests please let me know ahead of time (or bring the music) so I can get them all. I'd also like anyone who can't be there to listen in if possible. It'll be like we're all there even if we aren't :D
-
I think i can make this, if there is anyone in the Portland area that needs a ride i have room for an extra body (three extra if people really want to cram into the back of my pick-up :P)
I'll bring my armor, but the part i'm at is drilling metal... i have the drill and stuff, but it will probably be a noisy process and lots of metal flakes...
-
Count me in!
-
Hey.... the 48 hours of Bill won't shy away from an interview! :wink:
- Bill
-
I am confirming that I will be at the armor party. After all I am the one who requested one. LOL
Like the last party I would like to know is this party gonna be kid friendly? I know Kyle has Tiger,
Chad has a boy, and others are packing short rounds. Are they invited too? I have a five year old
that loves starwars.
-
It has to be kid friendly.....we already invited the seventeen year olds ;)

Yeah. I'm not going to be bringing T'Igor to this one. I need a break to hang with my troops sans-kid.
-Kyle
-
well, we'll have to keep things PG-13 when I'm on a live mic, we don't want things to reflect badly for either Cloudcity or PoJRadio ;)
-

That's my plan for the radio stuff. BTW, Aysel, I couldn't find a "listen" link or a link to the podcasts on the website. :?
-Kyle
-
hmmm....it's supposed to be up....station manager is also our webmaster so he probably forgot about the link...*sigh* oh and the stream doesn't start till about 4pm most days
-
So what kind of tools is everyone bringing? I need to know if I should stop at harbor freight and pick up a ghetto, lasts long enough for at least one set of clone armor, dremel. Also is somebody planing on bringing a Rivot gun and a belt sander? Also where can I get C.A. Glue and what type of Bondo do I need???
-
Well, I'm bringing a set of exacto knives for detail work as well as a tube of Goop. Not much else that I can bring at the moment as I'm just starting out. Oh, I also have the following Krylon paints: Flat Black (Fusion), Nickel Shimmer (Fusion), and Matte and Satin finish sprays.
-
Don't use exacto knives on armor. You want to use dremels. Utility knives will butcher your armor, so never ever use it on plastic armor!!
Glue to be used is CA glue, cyranoacrylate. Don't use ABS or epoxy.
-
I'll have a drill, multi tool and a utility knife. I'll have goop as well :P :)
-
Cooter.. it's likely we'llbe building clones together.... get two of everything you get so I have something to work with :)
-
ill throw my tool kit in the car, since it looks like i will be able to come, sans bf sadly he's got work but let me know if theres anything else I should bring? I have a good sewing machine I can borrow and bring (I even know how to use it) so if anyone has cloth things I can work on those and what not... im not great at sewing but I am decent and know the basics lol... but i dunno its just an idea XD
-
WE HAVE BANDSAW! Woot
-
Dang by the time I get off work and change you guys would most likely have stoped. :(
-
what time do you get off work?
-
1pm at PDX :? but dont forget the drive
-
so 1.5 drive? possibly? maybe 2? they'll still be going strong. I'm there from 4-6 to do my radio show live there.
-
I will think about it. :wink:
-
Dang by the time I get off work and change you guys would most likely have stoped. :(
Well Nick both Pepito and I are gonna be working side by side on our clones. He and I both
are sitting at the same point: armor still unpreped and in the box. So I plan on staying at the party
till one out of three things occurs.
1. My Armor has reached a point to where I can no longer continue on it. In my mind this is where to ready to be painted.
*Is this a realistic goal at one armor party? anybody?
2. Paul gets sick of me, and says "Cooter its 2am. Its time to shut off the saw and go home."
3. The phone doesn't stop ringing with somebody asking "when are you finally coming home!!!" Notice the "!"
at this point its now a statement and not a question.
So come Nick, we'll be there for sure.....
-
lol. Okay. :P
-
Sounds like fun... Wish I had my Vader stuff so I could be the black sheep (or the black armor). But hey, I'll be bringing a couple of small projects for my Officer to work on and will be ready, willing, and able to help wherever needed. Not to mention I'm also bringing the bringer of the foodstuffs...
-
I need to meet the new faces I have not seen at recent gigs. :o Though Cooter and Peptio both know who I am. :P
-
I'll be bringing my black armor to work on! :mrgreen:
By the way.... Tim would like to come along as well, as he may have scout armor by then. Kyle is there room for him as well?
- Bill
-
Tim doesn't have a car either? :?
-
He doesn't have a license. He makes use of public transportation - less so now that he lives across the street from where he works.
- Bill
-
Bill, this is the security guard Tim correct? I plan on attending this, he can hitch a ride with me.
-
Yes... that is the one. That's right, he lives right near you, doesn't he? I'll let him know he has a ride. Thanks, Dan!
- Bill
-
Im There! Ill bring the 24X D-cell powered BoomBox, and Mountain of Slayer CD's!
-
To Clarify....
I don't have to be at work until 2:30pm on Monday, so the armor party can run for a very long time :)
All major pizza chains deliver to my location!
And ROSTER UPDATED!
-
Metal and Pepito...
My wife is a DJ and has roughly 4 weeks work of continuous play music... not to mention spaghetti! But, that's okay... just thought I'd give you a reminder.
:mrgreen:
-
and i don't have class on monday... great success! Anyone bringing cameras?
-
how could you forget that I was the Food Maker, and Volund was the Bringer of the Food Maker? :lol: besides I can bring my good set of speakers and drive your neighbors crazy? enless their already crazy cause they live next to you...
-
Considering how many people are coming, pizza may be necessary as the night goes on. That's the way we roll in Mack. :mrgreen:
-
i'll make the trek down too... i just want Sarlacc on my pizza :lol:
-
i'll make the trek down too... i just want Sarlacc on my pizza :lol:
Chis... we'll be the ones eating the pizza... not the otyher way around....
-
that might work if you don't want seconds on spaghetti, when I cook I cook for an army....I just realized theres a pun there...but yea pizza later in the evening probably won't be a bad idea.
-
By the way, I'm probably the army...
Don't worry, I won't beat her too badly for that... much...
-
Check the main page... there is now a cover charge :P
-
Darn you... you're just as bad as a strip club... except they take cash instead of cans... and show cans instead of armor...
That's okay. I think the wifey and I can scrounge something up.
-
nice cover charge :D and Metal4life if you want to hear Slayer just bring those CD's and I'll mix the slayer for you :D
-
i think i could find something, like the idea, good stuff.
Bringing a can or two of some sort of non-perishable food item check.
Although i do find it a stretch asking a college guy to part with food lol ;)
-
I know the feeling... but I don't think the mana from heaven (read Top Ramen) counts as an actual non-perishable food... It will be here long after all of the cockroaches have eaten the twinkies... then it will probably mutate and eat the cockroaches!
-
OK The Chad is in. I'll be bringing my box-o-clone stuff. Where is the best place to get snaps and elastic. I check walmart like on suggestion but there snaps looked real small. and there elastic was just weird looking. I also have a package of discs for martins dremel since I went through so many at the last party. What did i seem mentioned about canned food?
-
bring one (some non-perishable food item... usually canned foods) to the party for a food drive, it's your ticket in.
-
I'll bring the soda's and various drinks! :mrgreen:
Count me in,it'll be good going to another Armor party again!
-
Wahoo I just go word my JM EPIII clone helmet should be here by mid week. That means I should have my lid with me for the armor party. Hey Kyle will i have my DC also. Wow now it is feeling way more real if I get this stuff done I may actual get to put on my first set of armor soon. I am aso excited
-
Yay for armor! I am thinking I will be bringing mats for making my neckseal... I found a mock neck I can use for the base now to figure out what to use for the rings...
-
Hey Kyle will i have my DC also.
I've got my fingers crossed for a "yes" on this, Chad...
-Kyle
-
Oh yeah... Kyle
Cooter is retatrded and I still need you to bring BOND-O!
-
Oh yeah... Kyle
Cooter is retatrded and I still need you to bring BOND-O!
:lol: No problemo
-
Oh yeah... Kyle
Cooter is retatrded and I still need you to bring BOND-O!
Cooter is not retarded! Notice your spelling retatrded! You need to speak English correctly, or at least be a little more clear.
You said "I got the Bondo!" Hence implying that you went and bought some....
Not "Kyle Said he we bring some." Implying that he was bringing his left overs.
Ladies and Gentlement I now translate the previous conversation for those of you who do know Bubba Gree...
"Huh? Oh Yeah Bond-o. I use em when I gets a boo boo."
-
I got lost at Cooter. ;) And not at the post. :P :lol: :mrgreen:
-
Not "Kyle Said he we bring some." Implying that he was bringing his left overs.
I don't know that you should be talking about Kyle's "He We"
Which I belive is a tiny version of He Man......
-
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... Out of curiosity, does anyone know how good glazing and spot putty is for plastic work? I was told it was just as good as bondo but quicker drying.
-
and that was the 'body work guy' at napa....
-
For tiny nicks, it should be fine, but for anything more, it is more fragile than bondo...
-Kyle
-
ooooo good advice, but since the work surface he's dealing with is small it should be fine, Yay! for experimentation :D
-
Ya, it's for plugging the screw holes and a couple of minor molds on the edges of the pieces that don't fit together. I don't need as much of the bondo as the tubs come in, so this stuff is a little better for the size of my project. I also don't need to worry much about cracking because I'll be putting two coats of paint as well as the nickle colored weathering and the finish coats.
Oh, also, how hard would it be to get a shell in the shape of an E-11 which can hold a pistol-style RC car control? I had a cool idea about a MSE-6 droid...

For the seam you'll probably be ok. If the seam is long, you may just want to use straight up bondo. Trust me, I've tried the Spot Glazing putty and it's not the best catch-all. But we'll have real bondo and be mixing it up for whoever needs it. If you have some backing behind your small screw holes, I'd still use bondo.
-Kyle
-
Question, when assembling TK armor, is it good to have clamps to hold halves together as they glue?
-
Kyle is such a HUGE fan of clamps (next to Earth Magnets) after using the ones at Rick's house, he bought his own!!
-
i'll see if i can snag some from work for the party.
-
I will have a bunch of clamps with me. I just bought them to hold mine together while I glued it.
-
cool, you bringing them?
-
unless I'm totally reading that wrong I think thats what he means....
I've got some fun news about the radio show happening from there; Martin will be with us by phone aka skype, so ya'll can give him a hard time :D
just remember to bring your requests with you just in case I don't have them and for those of you that can't come tune in starting at about 4 pm, the link is in my sig, I can take shout outs from the request line, which you can get to from the front page of the website it's on the right hand side. I hope that if you can't be there you can tune in and be there in spirit if not in body :D
-
Honey, exactly how many versions of the Imperial March do you have and how many times can you play them before the station manager decided to give you a Force necktie?
-
I'll just have to try it and find out :D
-
Hey I just got some scout armor from Martin. I am planning on coming to the armor party, if that is alright? I am not part of the 501st yet but I would like to join once I get my armor put together.
HESH
-
I'm not of the 501st either, but Volund has some projects that he's bringing to get himself into the 501st and he'll be there.
-
Hesh, come on down to the armor party.... I am bringing my black scout armor as well. It will be a hoot. I've never put scout armor together, so it will be a learning process for both of us!
- Bill
-
I will be attending! :-)
-
My lovely wife is now torturing me. She has a really amazing smelling sauce simmering and it is making the entire house smell good... AND I CAN'T HAVE ANY!!!
-
heheheh... sounds like tomorrow should be fun... and tasty :)
-
As a reminder I am bringing a sewing machine for my project and am totally willing to help anyone else who might new my mediocre skills! All I ask is you bring your own fabric and thread XD. I'm going to be making a pair of neck seals and if anyone else decides they like what I put together I am totally willing to help them make one or two or however many :)
Also willing to help with any hemming or sewing on any costumes that might need it!
Jade
-
I just got a Dremmel bit assortment and am willing to share. Also, I have a healthy supply of Goop if anyone needs it for bonding. Otherwise, I will see you all there!
-
see you all there! :) Safe driving an all that.
-
Okies I'm gonna head out in a few minutes... sposedly will take me like an hour and 40 minutes... so if im not there by like 1:30-2 can someone give me a call? I'll probably be lost XD
XXXXX (no numbers on here, Sorry Jade)
Thanks!
Jade
-
Well looks like Tha Chad is out. As much as I need the armor party, I have come down with something and feel like schzit and dont want to give it to any one else. Hope fully we will do another one in the near future.
-
Sorry I couldnt come. But all I have to say, is I SOOOOOO wish I could have been there from the fun it sounded like from the background when Aysel was live. :) We need to buy a shop in Downtown portland :lol: :P so its in the middle of the garrison. :P
-
Great show Aysel! Great music. Way to put out there what we do. Hope a lot of costumes got completed or near completion to make those people 501st.
I worked a little on my Veers armor while listening to the show.
-Eric
-
just got back....it was a lot of fun! I don't know about projects getting done but I do know that there was a lot of head way made.
I had a lot of fun doing my show, had a ball! and I got to bring out my star wars music collection :D
when the pictures are ready, I know someone was going camera happy, can I get copies? My station manager would like to put some up on the pojradio site.
-
I had a great time, and got some good progress done on the TK, doing some more work on the bucket right now lol ;)
-
Definitely the biggest armor party I've ever attended! Here's the image gallery:
http://www.cloudcitygarrison.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=40660
-
woot awesome pics, my thanks to everyone who was out there with the camera. :)
-
those are some great pictures :D
-
I love my new cod piece~
-
Cooter... that is not a cod piece, it is... oh, why do I even try...
<smiles and nods>
Condescending Appeasement: Yes, Cooter. What ever you say, Cooter.
-
btw, I want to hurt myself now for not coming. That was a huge armor party and seemed very fun! :)
-
It was a wee bit cold... but I did manage to get some work done on the armor. Still a lot of trimming needs to be done!
- Bill
-
Wee bit cold? We had tauntauns freezing in the yard! Not to mention poor Zabet who was wearing a skirt!
-
That's her fault for wearing a skirt when it is cold out! :twisted:
- Bill
-
Holy Christ, I don't even recognize more than 4 people out of that crowd.
[gotta get out there more]
-
I'm the one behind the laptop :mrgreen:
-
Yeah it was kinda cold, fortunately the base was warm inside and rations were plentiful and fellow troopers and commanding officers were very enjoyable to be around ;)
-
I'm the one beside the one behind the computer... Also, I am kneeling in front of the right-most Boba-stalker.
-
I'm the left-most Boba-stalker.
-
Holy Christ, I don't even recognize more than 4 people out of that crowd.
[gotta get out there more]
Its scary how much CCG has grown since OMSI. :D Though its scary to think how small CCS was about the time I came in. MY first meeting was at McMiniamins with what only 4-5 us? Dave was actually active and in charge? :P
-
lol, too bad you got me with this baby boom :P :)
-
Credits are as follows.....
"Sorry if I messed up anybodys name"
(http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/trinitysite/DSC07544.jpg)
-
*squints to read the letters* I can't tell XD That was fun though..... however I hate McMinnville now cause I couldn't find the damn place!! (and btw I WILL want to play halo again! that was fun!!)
-
Yeah it was kinda cold, fortunately the base was warm inside and rations were plentiful and fellow troopers and commanding officers were very enjoyable to be around ;)
Yes I am a hoot to be around, aren't I? :mrgreen:
Yes, Scot, you need to get out more!
Cooter: The portly fellow with his hat on backwards is my buddy, Tim. He's a Jedi from DST. He was hoping to have had some TB armor by now as that is his next costume that he wants to do.
- Bill
-
just had a thought, is it bobba-stalker or is that bobba-groupie? and yea, Cooter, nice with the names but they are really hard to read.
-
Cooter - thanks a bunch! It's nice to put (real) names and faces together with screen names!
Bill - I know - real life gets in the way sometimes, but I'm planning to get out there again soon (...do I hear bells??? :lol:)
-
Easier to read? (Kudos to Tony for the idea!)

I must have left before you took that photo.
-
Bah cant see what you guys are posting because I am at work on my phone. :(
-
Scot, I knew only 4, also... :?....(Looks like boba chris is tryin' to keep warm) I know I've been out for a while, but whoa.....nice to see CCG growing.
Hey, Nick. I'd like to get the vader outfit so I can get it nice & shiny for next time - Dry cleaning, wax, Fabreze........ :lol: :lol:
Barry
-
Wow... Christine and Nick-squared have Sith Eyes... darn those new cameras making only the popular people look sithy...
-
I'm going to print that off and tape it to the back of my hand so next time we have an armor party i can look at since i know i will forget all your real names :( ;) Great idea though!
-
Cooter - thanks a bunch! It's nice to put (real) names and faces together with screen names!
Bill - I know - real life gets in the way sometimes, but I'm planning to get out there again soon (...do I hear bells??? :lol:)
*perks up to listen for bells....
Nope, I don't hear any bells!
- Bill
-
That's her fault for wearing a skirt when it is cold out! :twisted:
I never complained though!
just had a thought, is it bobba-stalker or is that bobba-groupie?
We like to consider ourselves groupies for his fan-club, but we secretly accept how creepy-stalker we are.
-
Same goes for me in that I only see four people I know in the pics. I too need to get out & troop more. I went to the Light Vaders Saber gig in Ian just to see old faces & support the turnout. I got scolded by a new guy not knowing I was CCG for playing with the lightsaber toys with Ian because I might've distracted attention from the Stormtrooper Olympics. Trooping just hasnt been as fun since Ian outgrew his Ewok/Jawa outfits & has somewhat lost interest. I need to buck up and troop more!
-
I got scolded by a new guy not knowing I was CCG for playing with the lightsaber toys with Ian because I might've distracted attention from the Stormtrooper Olympics.
Good for him! LOL! :mrgreen: He wouldn't of said anything if you were wearing your armor! :wink:
-
That'll learn me! More troopin' & less spectatin'. Soon enough, I'll be back in the swing of things. Hope to make it to the next armor party.
-
Folks I am going to move this thread to an area where you can banter. By all means continue, but the events area is a place for the public to come and find out where we are going to be next. At this rate no one will find anything in this thread are because this one is dominating everything. Please feel free to continue in its new area!
-

Heh, that was probably me. Just trying to keep the dissapearing lightsaber count down; Next time throw a username at me :)

I think you are ready to troop the Salvation Army or the Starlight Parade. :D
-
Hey guys, anybody find an extra bottle of CA Glue? I can't seem to find mine and I may have left it at the party. :|
-Kyle
-
It's not in my stuff. Darn... I had to go out and buy my own.
-
I'll check around for it Kyle
-
I'm all out of mine so clearly i don't have it :P, jsut went out and got some more ABS glue, all ACE had was black though :x
