RS Props Interview with Daetrin (TK-8020)

[Daetrin[Admin]]

While I was in the UK, one of the highlights of the trip was meeting with *the* Rob of RS Props.   We sat down and chatted for almost 90 minutes, from which they posted this 30-ish minute video on YouTube at the link below.

I someone seriously joke that there a betting pool with the FISD staff on if I could leave his shop without ordering a set of kit. While I hadn't intended on doing so (as I have a nice TK already), I was so impressed by Rob and his commitment to quality that I'm now trying to get my name added to the queue.

If you ever have a chance to go to Manchester or meet with Rob, I encourage you to do so.  He and his crew are true craftsmen and also some of the nicest people you'd ever meet.  Can't say enough good things about them.

Many thanks to everyone at RS for creating a truly memorable experience and sharing your passion and expertise for Star Wars costuming.  You guys rock!

You are the best, Rob!  I'm eternally grateful for you shuttling me back and forth from the RS fab, and having a pint (or more) together.  For certain next we meet the first round is on me.

Lest I forget, a big shout out to @cl6rkee for a great job as videographer & editor on this interview.  He did a superb job, didn't he?   :)

A fun combination of Introvert, children's schedules and not being able to take any time off work due to having over 2 weeks off very soon.

[Daetrin[Admin]]

Np mate, just teasing a bit.  My schedule being ever changing whilst I was there didn't help either, so no worries. Lesson learned for next time. On the plus, it gives us both something to look forward to. :)

[Daetrin[Admin]]

And - sorry for double post - whether you meet "RS" Rob or "Catfood" Rob, they are both amazing people.  Hopefully you'll get the chance to meet them both someday.

Fixed.  Sorry - I blame jet lag. I can still for a few more days, right? Right? ;-)
