TS-9974 Reporting for Duty
Popping in to report some good news - rualon and I are both official members of the 501st Legion, thanks to our snowtrooper costumes FINALLY being completed. (Now that they're done, I can have more free time to finish my StP chapter! It's almost there, I promise...)
Anyhoo, yesterday we, along with other members of the 501st, headed to the Norfolk R2D2 mailbox for a short troop, then stopped off at Kelly's Tavern across the street where the bartender allowed us to take some fun photos behind his coveted bar ;).
The armored characters are SO MUCH FUN to portray! You can have whatever expression you want underneath the helmet, and people just flock around for pictures. And having a big (fake) gun is pretty cool, too ;). Can't wait for Celebration 4.
Of course, no Star Wars costuming post would be complete without gratuitous picspamming!! Dial-up users, beware!
Rebel Scum...
Me and rualon. I'm on the left in most of these pics (and I'm the taller one ;) )
Some random bikers stopped by and let our Tie Pilot try out their ride
It started raining while we were out
So we went into the restaurant across the street to get drinks...
...and food... Mmmmm
A little confusion on the helmet front
A Trooper, saddened by the loss of his comrades, stops by for a drink
Prince Brat tries on my helmet, preparing for future Imperial duty
