Chefhawk[501st] Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) HI guys, CE. It was planned that me my two sons and brother were going. I was planning also meeting a few guys from fisd. one of the main people i was looking forward to meet was paul aka Tm. Numbers were exchanged but paul couldnt make it because of his son. This was a shame because Tm had spent ages making a cool mini trooper outfit for his son. On the day before my son became ill and it was touch and go as to whether we were going to make it. Anadin extra works wonders so we got up at 6.30 am to make a packed lunch. Finally we arrived at CE after about an hour and a half travel time. I must say the exel center is class all the way. Loads of different things happening all the time but there was very little info on times an events and locations. We did catch a seminar introduce by warwick davies. It was very interesting but the sound was a tad quiet and it was sometimes difficult to hear what was being said. After a while we decided to get a breather and go for a pint outside. On the way back in we bumped into rick mccallum! I managed to get him to sign my programme. Very nice guy as well. I did try to get a pic with steve sansweet ,but his "people" were a bit frosty!. Overall it was a brilliant day with plenty of pictures taken. ------------- If anyone wants to see some pictures click on my banner below to take you to my myspace. cheers all Edited June 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4999[TK] Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I did a quick post of thanks on the 501st boards. Several European garrisons contributed in a BIG way (especially those Belgian guys). I did not have a cam, since I was a full time volunteer and in armor most of the time. The UK garrison is very strict about remaining in character (esp. buckets on ALL the time you are in public), so walking around with a camera wouldn't have worked. My biggest thrill was running into Albin during my lunch break and joining him and his wife. The best trooping experience was participating in the sound stage production of the Tantive IV boarding scene from A New Hope. Hopefully there will be pics of that posted soon. It was absolutely mind-blowing to be on that set with the cameras rolling. (And I did NOT bump my head while walking through the door!) 30 years ago, as I was watching the opening scenes of ANH for the first time, I never would have guessed in a million years that some day I would be one of those Stormtroopers boarding the Tantive IV! Talk about a dream come true! WOW!!! Once I get my hands on the FISD group photo, I will pass that along. Our banner was proudly displayed in London!

Exodus[TK] Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Great pics Mark. I especially like the SE-14R in action and the "display" picture. Your album reminds me of a question I have (and for all CE attendees): Can I have a high res copy of the empty Tantive IV corridor?

firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi Ed i will send you what pics of the corridor i have, they were not finished building it when i took that pic and the lights were only half on hense the grainy pic, standby... The se-14r is the perfect length for trooping with and very light weight too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt see a lot of the convention because I spent almost all my time at the 501st booth, but who cares *hrhr* My highlights were the evenings in the Fox pub Hey Simon: thanks for doing the panel!! It was a bit chaotic there but you all did an awesome job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
