Hey Guys
I just finished my TD outfit, and needless to say it was a huge investment. I spent a lot of money on the suit and the accessories, and a top-notch weathering job courtesy of Mike TD-1536. I have got to say it is probably my most prized possession and as a new owner I am trying to do everything possible to make sure my TD suit lasts a long time.
However, one of the things I wanted to do in addition to official 501st troops is surprise people by showing up to the occasional birthday / house party, social gatherings, and even the occasional concert or other public events as a Trooper because I think it would be fun to see how people react. At the same time, I am really concerned about safeguarding my armor and protecting it from excessive handling, knocking, tackling, toy lightsaber melee attacks, and other damage that might be done by overly-excited kids and fans.
Mike was telling me one of the best ways to be safe is to go these kinds of events with a friend or two to make sure people don't rough house with you. However, I would appreciate any other advice / shared experiences from you all during these "unofficial troops" so I can know what to be careful of when going to such events with my armor.
What are some important do's and dont's?
Thanks!
