Go back to: Troop 33 OK so additional images from the three days at Comic Con Stockholm 2023! The first batch is by Mikael Reis Andersson who needs to be credited if posted! This following image doesn't need credit! These following images are taken by fellow TK Acke Hallgren (TK-28599) Our little mini trooper She is soon going to need a new armor as she is growing out of it, just like her sister did before her! Here I felt cold sweats and getting nauseous so I marched straight for the changing room! The following images are taken by fellow TK Andreas Engström! (TK-24269) The first time I tried the Spack Pack and the pointy pose The pack is further down here in these images, but as I see it, I was "the left one" which has the pack around the same height! Making the pilot pose! PHEW that was a lot!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING YOUR VOTE Detailed explanation and criteria We (FISD staff) have had a long-running discussion regarding Stormtrooper Blaster variants as seen across the sequel trilogy, and how best this might be integrated into those CRL's. The last thing we want to do is make an over bloated section for each of those CRL's with too much information, after all, blasters are not a requirement for 501st membership. We don't want to make it overly confusing for GML's or Deployment officers, which could have the potential to create more delays than necessary on approval times. So how do we propose to move forward? I have broken this down into what will stay, and what could change. The current Blaster requirement for EI and centurion will stay as is. These are the most common seen on screen versions for each of the films. This is the basis on how all our CRL's are formed top to bottom. It gives everyone the chance to look as much the same as possible, the ideal garrison of Troopers. What would change is the ability to build a blaster with the identical layout of one seen on screen in the specific movie for the costume. The driver for this is to add some fun for the individual. Now it would be pointless to move on this without some form of guide as to what might be permissible and what may not, so we have looked at a set of conditions that would need to apply. Acceptable references 1. Blaster must be a production asset seen on screen, or from openly available to all, behind the scene references, including Disney+ specials. This keeps us aligned with how all legion CRL's are formed but gives some bandwidth. This keeps it fair for all members, clears speculation, and has photo evidence to back it up. No hearsay, or anecdotal info will be accepted. 2. No clearly damaged or taped together blasters, we don't allow on the go gaffer tape patch ups on costumes, this would extend to the blasters we want to look our best after all. 3. The blaster must be appropriate for the film the costume belongs to. If the specific layout is seen across multiple films, that should not be an issue, but additional references would be required to prove so. (Images of said blaster in both films) 4. Blaster must be built to some of the benchmark Centurion level items, such as foldable forward grip and working lights, no visible print lines. We expect that those looking to go this route would build their blasters with a higher degree of accuracy and want the bells and whistles that make them stand out. How would the process work, when would a member need to submit a request or references? If it is so desired by a member to build their blaster under this change, it would make sense to alert your GML and Detachment Deployment office to the CRL and the version you wish to build before you complete your costume. The member will be required to produce at least 2 separate readily available visual references of the same version they wish to build in advance of submitting for approval. A final decision will be determined by the Deployment officer staff. Refer to the above list of what is considered acceptable references. This would reduce the chances of added delays to an approval, give both the GML and DO's a chance to discuss with the member what is satisfactory and what may not be. This also prevents the potential for disappointment at the last moment. If you believe this could be a beneficial change, add an element of fun, and a low level of individualism, then please vote for or against. Footnote: We would be starting with the First order version to trial how this may work. If this Poll recognises merit, we will work to install it with additional text to the specific CRL's and seek LMO approvals. If down the track this proves successful, and without excessive issues, I would hope the expansion of a similar treatment to other CRL's under the FISD purview would take place.

I love all the pics! Hope you were feeling well after your dash to the change room. Bart

So, last weekend I went to this year's ComicCon in Stockholm. 10 year anniversary, so it was a bit bigger than usual, including around 100 participating SG members! Unfortunately I had to cut it short and only attend 2/3 days because of transport issues. I went kinda ragged though so it might have been for the best with only 2 days, oh well... I did however have fun as always and used both of my armors. It was the usual, stand in photobooth, patrol a bit, greet the guests and such. You'd think we would have more snowtroopers up here but we really don't have that many. I was the only one during the first day with that armor, I got reinforced by one of the others who's also a TK on the second day though. (We need more snowies in this garrison!) Anyway that's all for this time, will add more photos if I can find any.

That's your 501st forum profile, not your membership link, try this one https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=39887&costumeID=124

Looks amazing, love the chrome finish. I would try the Phasma FB group for info

Thank you!! I have never done a wet sand but keep reading that it’s the best! I’m also stoked to get my sand paper to last a little longer!! Thank you again and hopefully I’ll be able to post a meaningful update (and not just “I’m still sanding!”) in the near future!!
