Hello all! So excited to finally be approved. It's been a long time in the making. My name is Marissa, I'm with the Dutch Garrison. I joined the legion in 2020 with my Darth Zash. I've made more 'obscure' costumes since (Mara Jade, Darth Revan), and seeing all the TK's at events made me really want to build my own as well.
Every year we walk 10 kilometers in costume for Pink Ribbon during the annual Dam tot Dam event. Last year I walked in my Mara Jade, but I had so much respect for the TK's doing it in their kits. I then made myself a promise: next year I'll stand there in my TK too. So that was my goal and deadline! Having mostly worked with fabric before, a TK was really a challenge for me. Luckily I had help from my fellow troopers. I was approved last Wednesday, and yesterday I walked the 10km. I know that's insane for a first troop in a TK, but a lot of willpower goes a long way (and fans in my helmet..).
Looking forward to many more events in this kit! Cheers!
