I think it is a pretty awesome sign that this thread has more views than most uniform threads! [emoji12]

Well, it kind of is a uniform thread...

Let's face it. Our CAP uniforms were never this awesome.

Never this awesome. Correct. Never that impractical. Correct.

Hey, look at it this way. How about the CAP makes Star Trek Wars??

Never this awesome. Correct. Never that impractical. Correct.

A jump suit with 9 pockets is very practical.

And as for the overall winner between Star Wars and Star Trek, I'll just leave this here.

Just because it's the popular thing, that doesn't make it the right thing. Do we need to get into a Character Development lesson here?

That's easy.  The Empire are the good guys fighting against the evil terrorists in the Rebellion.  Talk about your positive role models.

Well, talking about rebels, Browncoats here, anyone?

With all of us nerds, when is the CAPtalk play by text RPG game going to start?

With all the advances in gaming tech recently, there is no reason to play by text.

This warms my heart.

Tell me, at the scifi conventions you all go to, do you find the same broken down stormtroopers up front with beggar signs looking for a handout because some farmer blew up their deathstar?

This is probably more geeky than nerdy, but I decided to do something "cool" for my 50th birthday on 5/20/16.  When I noticed that Dayton Hamvention starts the same day I was in!  It will be my first trip to  Hamvention although I've been licensed since 1993. 

Using the words cool and Hamvention in the same sentence is evidence of my geek/nerd street cred.

Funny you should mention X-Wing Miniatures game. I play that as well. 

Three questions: 1 - are all those models in correct scale to each other? 2- what is the ship in the top left corner next to the Imperial Shuttle? 3- Is that a K-Wing Assault Bomber next to the Y-Wing on the bottom right corner of the bottom shelf?
Thanks.

1. These are all correct in scale to each other.  The scale of the game is slightly skewed when it comes to the larger ships in the game like the Correlian Corvette.

2. The ship in the top left next to the Lambda Class Shuttle is an Imperial VT-49 Decimator.  http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/VT-49_Decimator

3. I assume you are referring to the HWK-290 light freighter.  http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/HWK-290_light_freighter
The other ship to the right of the Y-Wing is an E-Wing escort starfighter. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/E-wing_escort_starfighter

Hope that helps.

Cool Beans! Thanks.

BTW I think the K-wing is the coolest looking Starfighter in the GFFA.

My favorite has always been the Lambda Class Shuttles.

Browncoat here as well, Spam.  I will walk in to a bar, filled with the Alliance, on Unification Day just to start trouble.  I am also a Graycoat.  I have been a Confederate Reenactor for 30 years.
