Well, first troop of my life ever and yes, it was exciting, frustrating, interesting, instructive and many more things at the same time. It was a birthday suprise for a little girl who is a big Star Wars fan and knows all the planets, characters and ships eventhough she just turned 8. Parenting done right! :biggrin:

Till that day I only wore the armor for taking pictures but I just realized some things I have to tweak before the next time. First of all fixing the strapping for the backpack to the frame. The whole thing slipped all the time and due this the shoulder armor popped of all the time. This is the first thing that needs some attention and should be an easy fix. Next is adjusting the whole strapping a little and some minor fixes with the aker. The cable of the mic slipped through the chest plate while trooping.

But overall it was great. And the little girl was a big Vader fan and as you can imaging she was blown away as Lord Vader appeared at the scene. The party was at a local bowling center and yeah... Dressing was upstairs and no elevator... :lol: Walking down the stairs like a living dead because "i can't see anything in this helmet" - something you need to get used :D

#3 - 05.08.2023 Büdesheimer Laternenfest (Lantern festival)

Almost one year later I attended the Laternfest again. Last year it was about 34°C and this year 19°C and rainy... Still the atmosphere was awesome again. Winter is coming and there is some parts with my armor which really needs to addressed... strapping, weathering and some triming. Getting the armor out the box is nice but still there are a lot of things I need to change to make it a little bit more "comfortable"
