Welcome to FISD, Luke

Fantastic report of your latest events, Luca! I noticed one of my friends in your pictures Wolf from the Coastal Hammer Squad, we met with his wife Jessica and some of our Garrison in Glasgow for drinks and food. Congrats on meeting David Tennant you must have been buzzing!

Troop 46 Garrison Tyranus Eastern Sienar Fleet May 4th 2024 Music of STAR WARS Ferguson Center Newport News Va

Busy weekend! [67] 03.05.2024 -- Star Wars in Concert A New Hope in Hamburg Starting off strong with Star Wars in Concert on Friday! Unluckily, right next door was a soccer match, so we arrived with 1.5 hours delay and having to expect violence later on. Still, everyone had lots of fun, I got to troop another Chaos Division troop, met my fellow Squad Attaché and posed for lots and lots of pictures with the visitors. We got to watch the movie as a compensation for showing up, so that was fun too! We had to cut down a bit on our program and most of us spent the second half of the Concert in our changing room, fooling around, having fun, and welcoming a new member who had his first troop that day. At the very end we went out in front of the stage to lots of applause. Definitely a good showing from our squad, even if we were all really tired afterwards, arriving back home at about 02:00 am. Lucky for us the soccer match had ended peacefully as well, so we had a calmer evening than expected after the early chaos. [68] 04.05.2024 -- Planetarium Wolfsburg For Star Wars Day the planetarium offers a special Star Wars showing. The Garrison was invited by a local costume club to bolster their numbers a bit. All six of us had been at the concert the night before, but we weren't tired enough to not troop. I myself mostly had fun with the stuff they had in that area, such as this gigantic bench. To my surprise, sitting on that one was super comfortable and it was really easy to get on and off. Who would've thought? The local police showed up for a couple pictures and since it was almost tradition by now, I simply had to take a couple pictures in their car. Always a really fun experience and everyone just loves it! To end the troop we guarded the planetarium as the visitors got to enter. A few visitors got really scared when they spotted us. Aside from the bench, those reactions might have been my favorite part of the troop. [69] 04.05.2024 -- Episode I in Cinema Wolfenbüttel No pictures from this troop, oops! For the re-release of Episode I the local club from the previous troop also had an appearance at a cinema. We entertained people on the street, as well as the cinema's visitors, before getting to watch the movie ourselves. For me it was the first time ever watching Episode I in cinema and it was so, so good! Way better than on a TV screen! Also, this was my first ever time officially trooping two events on one day. Kinda crazy to consider And although I had another event on Sunday it was a Doctor Who convention -- I met David Tennant! He liked my outfit! -- so I will spare you the details. This is, after all, my Stormtrooper troop log. Just know that it was the best convention I've ever been to and that my TK just got a contender for "favorite costume"

LOL @ that tired trooper pic! The times I get to pose with armored troopers is also always funny and for a similar reason. Looks like a great event though. Hope the NDA event was fantastic!

May 4, 2024 - Star Wars Night with the Boston Red Sox, Boston MA

OK, I think I see what you're saying. If I trim the rounded part to make it thinner it should be able to extend further to reach the tube. As far as the step, yeah I saw that on this exact post, which I have bookmarked to use for this part of the project. That's great information and I appreciate you getting back to me. The touching base from time to time with more photos to get your thoughts. Thanks, mate!

52. 2024-05-05, Comic Con 2024, Stockholm (Hero, with Space Pack) The last day, I had gone to bed late with a few units in the system so I was really really tired when I arrived a little later than the others! But we carried on!!! This band-aid was for a campaign called "plaster for childhood cancer" That's all for this time! Next troop is today, my first NDA event, I have no idea what it is yet!

FYI to remain active and a member of each detachment you have a costume for you must log into detachment forums at least once per year (election cycle) A.J. will be along in due course to update your status here.

Hello, I've been a member of the detachment and an approved 501st member since 2016, but I tried to look at a few of the forums and it said I needed to be an active member of the 501st to do so. I'm a GML in the newly formed Minnesota Wolfpack Garrison. Can I get my access re-instated please? https://501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=22724&costumeID=124

Thanks!

That’s what we like to hear! And when you clear that level, I will have EI rockers that you’ll qualify for! Very cool MLB troop so soon after approval! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome, Luke! It’s great to have you and see another TK in the making! Do you already know what type/era stormtrooper you’d like to build? Many of us start with an ANH-Stunt, as that was the very first TK we saw on screen. Regardless of what direction you go, post up all your questions, with lots of photos, and we’ll be here to help you along on your journey! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

41. FLX Pop-Up Expo; 5 May 2024 This was a last minute troop, with confirmation coming in the night before. What was originally going to be a private autograph signing became a very small comic show with half a dozen vendors and us. We agreed to the invite because the guest of honor was Robin Guiver, who was a puppeteer in each of the Sequel movies, among other things. Things were very slow, and very relaxed, so we spent most of the time socializing with everyone there and talking with Robin about puppeteering, costume-making and droids.

40. May the 4th Be With You Library Event; 4 May 2024 This was my emergency backup May the 4th troop - we originally had three troops scheduled locally, which became two due to a scheduling conflict, which became one because it was decided to use non-Star Wars characters for their Star Wars day (), and the last one became an issue with the weather ... So I travelled down to Starkiller Garrison and joined them the Erie Main Library. [group photo goes here once I get a copy] [more photos pending - I don't have copies yet]

Thanks for the update for us. Hoping to get in before the locked detachment merch sells out. Not sure how long that stays open for but I heard there’s some new stuff posted

Hello and welcome to the forum, a great page full of info for the first timer

This link is to your 501st forum profile, not your membership profile, have a read of the instructions in the first post of this thread

A.J. has not been online to update, he will be along in due course

Hello there fellow empire citizens and supports, the name is Luke and no I am not the Luke you are searching for. Im from Riverside California and have been interested in joining the 501st for awhile now as well it has been a family members dream as well to join and support. As a rookie to these sort of things you will probably see me around asking questions and such on how to get my armor correctly made and my updates on how my journey is going. Looking forward to working hard on my armor and meeting/talking to all you lovely people out there.

I haven’t got a response.

Thank you for your help Ron! I really could use those items. I really appreciate you reaching out to me!
