After having OM for almost five months, it's finally time to start a thread here!

One of my app pics:



October 2017 Blank Park Zoo troop with Fork (including the infamous Camel Pic):









Winter snow shoot from yesterday (thanks to Ivy Fett for hiking all over the park with me and taking pics):

I saw a picture of another merc making a snow angel on the Facebook page Sunday, which was the whole reason I thought of doing this shoot, so of course I made one too



Wear your seatbelt, kids! (Fear not I didn't wear the helmet while driving)



Tracking some prey...
(I use a rifle in this shoot as a prop, but it is not approved. Someday I'll put some work into it and mod it up.)









Scenic pics by the dam:








Assorted pics:











Where's Mando?
(I actually think it would be pretty cool to have a Where's Waldo parody book with different mandos hiding in scenery and some pics of dozens of mandos together at comiccons and such...)





And then we went home and had cocoa, naturally.







We took a few videos while we were out!

The bridge was a lot longer than it first looked when I decided to skip all the way across and back...

I saw a playground. I knew what I had to do.

So... I wanted to test the flexibility of my armor. The goal of this challenge is to pick up a piece of paper in your mouth with only one foot touching the ground, and stand back up. I actually did it once, but we didn't get it on camera. I'd say that's some pretty flexible beskar.

I love it!  This is all so awesome!

Some pretty slick shots, Vod!

Nice work and great videos

[trashcanmando]

Thanks so much, everybody! 

[Shammah]

Great stuff Akaleh, no good if you're not having fun right?

[Storyteller]

Looks amazing vod!

[Og' Reh]

Just looked in here - I'm amazed how that suit blends in. Real deal!

[trashcanmando]

Thanks so much, everybody!

At long last, here's my pictures from the May 4th troop at the Coralville Children's Museum. I was planning to maybe have some more pics and wanted to post them all at once but I better go ahead and put these up already!

All ready to go!



Some photos with the amazing museum staff:





Some with the 501st:









Some with kids (and kids at heart!):











And some taking advantage of being in a children's museum, chock full of great photo opportunities!






Come closer...


I need to share my dying words...


False alarm. Just needed a bandaid.


Had some delicious pizza! (And just noticed the pi sign!  )








Maybe need a slightly bigger ship.


Think this thing has a good hyperdrive?

Awesome shots.  I so wish you were going to be at WW this weekend to help christen the new jail cell.

[trashcanmando]

Wish I was too! Just too busy right now, instead I'm judging a TKD testing and watching a practice burn with the local fire station. If only I didn't need to sleep! You guys will have to tell me all about it! And great work on the jail cell, I've been silently watching the progress!

[Shammah]

Great pix Akaleh! Glad you had a good time there.

[Havelock]

I'm not sure how I missed these pictures until now.  I love these!

Did a photoshoot this last month with my cousin! His facebook page is here, he did such an incredible job.

New profile pic first, this one is one of my favorites.
















WIth everything going on, it's been really hard for me to get motivated to work on upgrades or my second kit, but this (combined with the mandalorian season 2) has reignited that spark, lol. We also took some pictures of what I have of my zabrak so far, which I will be posting under my Beviin Shrike build.
