Bart It was quite scary, but you have to go with the rhythm of the steps, tilt your helmet to the side so that you see the steps better, and just step where it makes sense! A lot harder to do in reality but the thing that helps me is to step out on the half time beat of the rhythm! I may be damaged by playing the drums for my whole life but that's how I did it! 😂 And hold on for dear life! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairy[Staff] Posted September 29 Author Report Share Posted September 29 62. 2024-09-27, Bokmässan Göteborg 2024 (Gothenburg Book Fair), Göteborg (Hero) 63. 2024-09-28, Bokmässan Göteborg 2024 (Gothenburg Book Fair), Göteborg (Hero) 64. 2024-09-29, Bokmässan Göteborg 2024 (Gothenburg Book Fair), Göteborg (Hero) Update! We attended Sweden's by far largest convention! The Gothenburg Book Fair attracts a lot of famous people and from all over the country, and we're breaking new ground here by showing up here where we met people we wouldn't normally get to meet, since this isn't a Sci-fi convention or anything like that. The reception from the people at the fair was amazing, and we could tell that it was most of the people's first time seeing Stormtroopers in real life! Normal and famous people alike, they acted like children around us and donated a lot of money to our cause, which was the Children's Cancer Fund! We stood on the space stage, where they blasted Imperial March in the speakers! I had a little private spot all to myself in the dressing room Peek-a-boo I surprised our trooper @TK 17229 that had been there the day before I arrived! Reunited! Watching our Swedish astronaut Marcus Wandt on the space stage Of course he got to meet some real space people! He has joined the dark side, he'll do anything to get back into space! We got arrested, apparently - Empire laws don't apply on this planet... We had a new recruit to the Emperor's cause! Arresting famous people is awesome! This guy was a children's television show host for 20 years and is like Sweden's sweetheart! Me and @TK 17229 I'm not in the following picture, as I stood guard at the other side of the room, but we had this hilarious segment. A loud reading by Chewie, and then interpreted by Luke, so that the children could understand what the story was about! It was a story inspired from other children's stories that a member had cooked up which we called "Three Little Troopers". It was a huge success and extremely fun to be a part of! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairy[Staff] Posted October 12 Author Report Share Posted October 12 65. 2024-10-04, Star Wars Outlaws release party, Malmö (Hero, with DLT-19) Just received pro shot images from the Outlaws release party! If I could ever enter a Hall of Fame, I'd choose one of these images! Lets begin! "Out of my way!" - TK 23592 Yes, there is a person in there! The bar looked like this! I got to inspect the creature... We were stationed to ensure that the "best cosplay" competition remained calm and proceeded in an orderly fashion. The winner was the Jawa. The sign leading into the Cantina. This is how the Cantina looked when it turned into a night club! Incredible. Honor. Duty. Empire. Found our lovely FISD member Acke, who worked on the game as a Senior Quest designer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairy[Staff] Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 68. 2024-10-12, AvestaCon 2024, Avesta (Hero) My 68th troop was at the place I did my first ever troop, almost two years ago. This event two years ago was the 15th of October, and in this time I've completed 68 troops! I didn't know that I would troop this much when I first started out, but I've made so many beautiful friends and memories and seen so much stuff thanks to this crazy hobby! We enterrogated this guy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairy[Staff] Posted October 19 Author Report Share Posted October 19 69. 2024-10-19, Fotografiska Museet (The Contemporary Museum), Stockholm (Hero) The 69th troop was at the Contemporary Museum in Stockholm, our lovely capital (where I also live)! This was an awesome exhibition with the obvious theme: Space! The staff was so nice and welcoming towards us, and besides them just being awesome people, I think much of it also has to do with the fact that these people don't go to the conventions, so they aren't the usual people that we get to meet! @Coil Lining up outside to greet the visitors! A very funny thing happened! Me and @Lafleur Daniel (TK-20928) were standing on each side of the entrance, and a group of Japanese women came up to us to take pictures. We didn't talk at all and were just doing gestures, and when one of them said thank you after having their picture taken, I answered with: "Thank you!" through my com system, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, blushed and said "Your voice is very sexy!"... and ran away! @Lafleur and @TK 17229 (Daniel had his first ever TK troop today! Congratulations buddy! ) The obligatory selfie! Tried some DJ-ing too at the end of the troop, when we were patrolling through the restaurant floor! We also took some Halloween images! Braiiinnnnns... Happy Halloween, when that comes, and if you celebrate it! (I don't really!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairy[Staff] Posted 8 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 8 hours ago 70. 2024-11-01, Comic Con 2024, Stockholm (Hero, with Space Pack, DLT-19) 71. 2024-11-02, Comic Con 2024, Stockholm (Hero) 72. 2024-11-03, Comic Con 2024, Stockholm (Hero) Okay! So Comic Con Stockholm Winter 2024 happened, and boy was it awesome! I got to meet up with the fellow Garrison mates and Squad mates and Fire Team mates and fellow FISD staff too! I've had talks with the troopers in my Fire team for some time, telling them that I've wanted to up our game when it comes to the marching in parades. @Tall_Trooper has a signature banner that I really got inspired by, so I gathered all the TKs aside after the morning meetings to go through how to turn and how to walk in the parades (with holstered weapons) - but then came @Locitus (in his Officer uniform) and had a marching session with us! It was really the thing that we all needed to take it that one step further of becoming the Stormtroopers we see on screen! (of course it can and will have to be fine tuned more, bit it's a start!!) This Comic Con I also used my space pack, for the first time since implementing my new strapping system! It sits great right now, but I don't like not being able to put it on by myself, so I'll continue working on that in the future! We start the days off by patrolling the queues! That's always really fun since people usually are super excited in the morning queues! A pic from the first photo booth session of the weekend! The line up looked like this after one of the parades! We were quite a few, nothing compared to some of the events in the U.S. but for us this a great turnout! This was before our march training session, don't have a picture yet of the "after"! I can't find the hotel room I'm looking for... But something that I had been looking for that I was able to find was the FISD Beret flash! Now I've got two! Don't ask me how! A pic of me and @Lafleur who had his first con experience this weekend! So happy for him, and he is a great addition to our Fire team Scary Looking Nerd Herders! Been helping him with 501st approval and EIB submission photos, we're aiming for Centurion! We have a really fun thing which is the "Statue corner", where we can stand up on a little platform and stay completely still, and then people can scan a QR code to read more about the costume, and when they do - or when they stand close to you and take a picture, you can scare them a little bit! Everyone, meet my sister from another mister, Jenny "Storm" TK-94012! She usually features on "Cantina's New Hope" on YouTube! They had a 1:1 scale X-wing cockpit that I got inside of (having flewn by myself for the first time in a real aircraft lately I was inclined to jump in to see what technology the rebels had to work with) and by instinct started shooting at the rebel medical frigates! (@TheSwede didn't see this so he suggested that I should be relieved of my staff and attaché positions ) I came back later in my Space Pack to point it out for my fellow gunners to take care of! And with this, let the Spacetrooper montage begin: They also had a 1:1 scale Falcon cockpit! Naturally, I pointed this out as well! Side note: @Coil looked awesome inside the Falcon! Anyways, here's the droid... Here is me pointing out that this is our member @SwedishTX who is working on his Captain Enoch! It's rumored that our Emperor has a TK armor on the way! Boss forgot his helmet! He had something right... there! I'm pointing out the charity of our choice, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund - to which we have helped over all the years to collect over 2.500.000 SEK, a total we reached at this year's Comic Con! A stinky little green thing! Gonk! Do you have a license for that thing? Showing the kids where to aim at our Blast a Trooper booth! That's all for now! Take care everyone! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
