rapstertee Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I've just returned from an amazing 10 day trip to the Star Wars locations in Tunisia. One of my co-pioneers out there is TK 6682 - a member of the South California Garrison - he took his sandtrooper kit (ATA) out and trooped it at most of the locations - to the bewilderment of many tourists and Tunisian locals. I believe he's the first person to do this. I'm currently nominating him for 501st trooper of the month. Then when we got to the Hotel Sidi Driss (Lars Homestead), I got the opportunity to suit up and get a LOT of pics taken, which has got to be a first for a UKG trooper, surely? I'd like to thank 'Doc' as he was kind enough to let me don the kit as we're the same size, which I hope qualifies me for the first UKG trooper to appear in armour at the Sidi Driss location.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the rest of the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonitekid Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Kudos mate. Back in 2005 I wore a basic ANH Luke outfit to the Hotel Sidi Driss. And on my second visit a week later I took my Fett lid. I will try to scare up some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naatsirhc[TK] Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I saw the pics that Bender posted on the SCG board. I hope he posts more here. Congratulations on being able to suit up and take pics. It would be great to see more shots of the area. It must of quite a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
