9/24/24 - NM Railyard Shows Intergalactic Day
78th TK troop, 33 for the year
CREB (ooooo) 5435 - 22nd troop and 7th for the year
TK9 Mabel - 3rd troop and 2nd for the year
This was a huge troop as you can see from the group photo. Wish I'd found one without the frame but it gets the point across. This was INTERGALACTIC Day at the Railyard Market. My family did it last year and it was fantastic. My wife stayed home with our other two dogs who aren't quite ready for this kind of thing.
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter's new costume - Season 3 Sabine!!! I'm so very proud of this. I painted 95% of it. We did the splatter boots, gloves, and blaster together. The rest was my OCD, airbrush, and spray paints.
And this guy... that's me. I did this to my ANH armor. The episode aired roughly 4 days prior to this troop. I did alllll this in that time including amazon delivery waiting for the tape. It's makeup, survey tape and some gold chrome vinyl foil.
It's just temporary for this one troop. But WOW was it fun! I loved it. Gonna do it for real ASAP.
Are they zombies? Are they just slightly yucky and repaired? All I know is they're called Night Troopers.
You may have noticed that Mabel even has a matching and weathered red leash. I modified my trading card holder to have a metal latch to hold her leash end. That lets me drop the leash and pose without having to fiddle around on the floor to get it again. A+ mod. Would recommend for all the service dog troopers.
Fire Team Rio Bravo showed up!!!
My absolute pride, yall!!! SO much pride! And she loves the kit! It's a comfy bucket and armor. The jawa wasn't very good except for winter trooping and she's rather tall to be Little Leia now. So my daughter is a rebel... I can live with that.
A panda squad sighting! They're rare and skittish. Gotta be quiet and snap pix quick.
Gotta selfie with the squad!
And that's one tired TK9. Time for the shuttle back home.
