Hey Ricky

Don't forget the T-piece on your chest as well. Sounds like we have another volunteer to march as a TS in next year's Disney parade. Obviously you were so jealous of my stunning good looks in the TS costume, you couldn't resist adding one of your own :P . Welcome aboard.

Looks great, can I ask what material you made your duster from? I'm assuming since your in Florida that it would be cotton or something that breathes, I'm in Canada and used arctic fleece and I'm cookin' pretty good even when its cold outside.

Nice work! :)

Ricky,
Welcome aboard mate. Nice to see you here "looking Cool in the Snowy", don't forget to put some nice fans in the bucket (you will need them) and it looks like you are pretty well good to go. Well, at SWW you got to see three sizes of TS, and it looked good on all three. And mate wait until you troop in it...ahh the freedom of movement is amazing.....

disreguarding the missing decals and T piece your eyes are wrong and need to be replaced. You cut the holes to big and look like a surprised snowtrooper. I also don't see a thermal det.

Hi Ricky,
for the fans you need to go to a computer parts shop (second hand if you can, new if not)....and you need to look for the little heat sink fans...or squirrel fans...take your bucket to find a couple the right size....
then to an electronics shop, so that you can get the battery connectors....and a little soldering (tape if not) then into the bucket with hot glue they go.... :wink: make sure you position them to blow down onto your face...trust me , you will need it in the long run....


Respectfully,
