JoeR Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Mark and I have donated a set of CfO ROTJ Stormtrooper Armour which the talented folks of the UK Garrison will be assembling and giving away in a charity raffle this weekend at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. Entry to the raffle is just £2! May the Fourth be with you! Thanks to Gary Hailes for organising this. Have a great weekend folks... Joe, Mark and Rob CfO Ps: Thanks to Paul aka TM for altering our logo and using it as a signature without telling us on the MEPD! You can see Paul's handy work below!

JoeR Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Sorry fellas I believe that you have to be there in person to enter. As it's for charity we thought it was worth mentioning here. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskunky Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks again for the warm welcome guys. I'm glad we could help by donating the suit for a great cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Gutted I was not able to drag myself and the rest of the VR squad up . Sadly other commitments took precedent. I hope the build was well documented. Good on you Joe and Mark for the donation. P.S The builder in the pic is Colin (HeathrowTrooper). I "think" he is a member here.

abaddon_1974 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I managed to get to the National Space Centre and bought a few tickets. Don't think I will win but it's for a good cause. The suit looks fantastic in the flesh and if I ever decide to do a TK it will probably be one of these. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john danter Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think it should be open to all yeah. It's all for charity. Ask Gary, as Joe said PS: I wasnt building the suit. I just supplied a spare set of eyes to the lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Batman[TK] Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'm sure that we can arrange tickets for anyone that wants them - the draw is on August 28 so there is plenty of time- I'll get some details and post asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
