The studio is placed on a square in a different town every year, and it is live 24/7 between of the chosen week of the event every December, Monday through Sunday. It is where all of Sweden come together and donate money to different causes every year and this year it was for people that are dying of hunger around the world, and we managed to raise $6.000.000 during the week, together as a people! There are a lot of people that can engage and collect money for this cause by having their own digital "moneybox", and our contribution by walking around on the square, dancing with people and taking pictures was $5000, which isn't the most we've raised but it sure isn't bad for only 4 days! We were live many times on TV and the Swedish people love to have us there every year, seeing us on their screens!

Troop #24 - 24 November 2023 - Futures Festival - Pinewood Studios This year we were incredibly fortunate to be re-invited back to Pinewood studios for this years Futures Festival. I was only able to do one of the days this year but still a great opportunity. A little different this year, no 007 stage for changing on but the facilities we had where great. This year it was really quite cold, which on it's own was not too bad but there was also a brutally cold wind, and with no thermal layers was really felt. Thankfully some one worked out how to turn on the heating mid afternoon. Not a huge number of photos yet, as we're not allowed to use a camera outside of the changing room (it's an active film studio) and the official photos are still going through approval. However I do have this one. Brian Muir was doing a talk and after came over to visit us in the changing area. I was able to get a photo with him and his wife. If I get any more photos I'll add them in future.

[61] 09.12.2023 -- Comic Con Stuttgart, Day 1 My first three-years-in-a-row troop, how exciting! This exact event had been my third troop back in 2021, I'd managed to troop it again in 2022, and now I was back for 2023. Compared to the previous two years the layout of the convention had changed -- we got our very own Star Wars area with a couple other clubs and had a truly wonderful booth with several photo points and exhibits. With the changed layout also came a plus of visitors: a plus of about 15,000 visitors for the whole weekend compared to the previous year! With the Surplus of visitors came a lack of space, so I apologize that most of my photos of Saturday were taken during the group picture of the 501st, since that was where we had the most space. Everywhere else was cramped, overcrowded, hot and stuffy, so I spent most of my day near our booth seeking out some peace and quiet that came with being away from the main hall space. Since we were so many troopers on Saturday, we got to take some awesome pictures and videos with the Witches and Thrawn after the group picture. You should definitely take a look at this video of us! All that time back there for the photos was probably my favorite time during the troop. Once the first people began leaving I even got to take a few pictures of my own, which was great. Additionally, this troop was a wonderful opportunity to meet many of my friends once more. Given that I live in the very north of Germany, it's not often that I get to see my friends in the south and I'm always glad when I get these opportunities. [62] 10.12.2023 -- Comic Con Stuttgart, Day 2 Day 2 was less busy with less visitors around, so we got to enjoy the con a bit without people constantly bumping into our armors. To that end, we started off by exploring the halls and taking pictures. This day I was joined by TK-71384 and TK-92227, turning this into an official Fireteam troop for the Chaos Division. This day it was a lot easier to run into our friends for a quick chat and a couple of pictures. Gotta love the Christmas-vibe of the picture above, right? After the 501st group picture, us TK's went to take over the gaming stage with Lord Vader. On our way there we had to be careful not to stop, because once we stood anywhere, visitors would flock towards us, asking for a picture. Fair enough, how often do you get a TK patrol with eight troopers and Lord Vader, after all? Definitely one of the highlights of the convention! Once I got out of armor in the afternoon, I got to join TK-55550 for something special. A trooper had brought along a TK-kit and we were going to build it live at the convention -- well, at least do some trimming that is, for a full build we'd have needed more helping hands, tools, and time. Definitely a fun and special way to end the convention before traveling at least part-way home, completing the last few hours of travel the next day. Thanks for letting me join you, Danny!

After almost 3.5 years I'm ready to wear it for the first time. I was able to get dressed on my own and it still takes a while to get it to fit properly and be able to take photos for the 501st. The knees are attached when everything is in place.

I was wrapping up my last few finals... analytical film critiques of style, genre, mise en scene & narrative for the 1974 film Chinatown, ugh. Oh, and 1500 word minimum. There was not enough coffee in the world for that!

Will fix that. Thank you for the info! Didn't noticed hat The next photo shoot will probably be next year (i.e. in 3-6 weeks). Thanks for all your advice so far and happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

I appreciate the eyeball expertise! Yeah, after comparing my pic to his, and both to a MEPD Deployed level TD, I could see everything you've confirmed. I'm not writing it off as a total loss though, as I can still use it as a reference for how to/how not to assemble the new kit. I found an unassembled WTF kit that was a B pull - it's a TD, so I can hide B issues with weathering - from a local guy, still in the box, for an extremely fair price. I've already ordered a bunch of proper strapping hardware & materials that I was going to redo this one with, but they'll just get moved to the new build instead. Once the new one's finished, I can make a few minor corrections and offer this one to someone who might be a closer fit.

Right. I did the link method after I had completely spaced and uploaded the images, which is why I should not be online before I've had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Nice work. You may want to rotate your forearms, they should be inside the arms. Also watch the thigh height, slightly off. Good luck with approval

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!

32. 2023-11-04, Comic Con Stockholm 2023, (Hero, with Space Pack) I finally made my Space Pack debut! Some dressing issues: The tube needs to be more horizontal, the pack needs to be a little higher up I have dreaded and dreamt about this day to come! And it finally did! It started with me breaking off the white tube in the back, so we had to do some field surgery on the thing! It all resulted in me still wanting to go through with it, despite everything not being perfect! One could argue that the hose was attached at an angle to the chest and that one of the Space troopers has a pack that sits very low! I chose to see it that way to give myself the courage to go out there with it! Next time I'll point with my right hand instead of my left, as the one "space trooper" in A New Hope pointed with his right! A lot of troopers were stoked to finally see it and I had some that came up not knowing what it was, and later when explaining they got goose bumps when they realized why I had been pointing at everything! Note how the high five between us crushes the rebel legion logo in the background? I might be the worlds first with the Hero/Space Pack combo! It has been my dream combo ever since I started digging a bit more into the whole thing! Notice the left glove? One very fun meme thing with the Space Trooper is that I walk around pointing at everything

30. 2023-10-27, Trampoline Park Birthday Party, Stockholm (Hero) Number thirty!!! A birthday party for a very excited 12 year old Star Wars fan, who got 12/11 on the Star Wars quiz that I had with me (got all the bonus points)! We made him an Honorary Stormtrooper, signed by Papa Palps and Vader!

28. 2023-10-15, AvestaCon 2023, Avesta (Hero) AvestaCon, the place last year where it all began one year ago! It was my 28th troop for my troopiversary which I'm happy with! I always hope for more though We had a checkpoint where we checked cars and busses before giving them a green signal to move along move along!
