Felice Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hey sis and bros, i posted this thread yesterday in the fisd. Yes i know, this is not a TD build but this is just an example why we are in the 501st....now the story and the pics my friends...enjoy! OpiWan and myself like to introduce our project. But before we start with the picture story we like to write something about the history… I found a TK sale thread in the external german garrison forum. The person wrote something about that she/he can’t complete the build of the kit. She/he started 2010 but just finished some trimmings. It sound curious so i wrote a pm and asked why she/he selling the kit (it was a PT kit). After a couple of days i got the replay: she is girl from vienna and a big star wars fan. Her marriage was supported by 2 imperial guards and her big dream was and is to have a Stormtrooper. But she became ill…her doc diagnosed Multiple sclerosis (for more information look here http://en.wikipedia....tiple_sclerosis). From time to time she got the typical symptomse and she wasn’t able to finish (or even to start) the armor. So she terminated her dream and tried to sold her kit. For OpiWan and myself it was clear that no desease has the power to stop dreams! We offered her to build her armor in that way that she can wear it and become part of the 501st. After some pm’s she agreed and sent the kit from vienna to frankfurt. We also needed her measurements because the distance for the fitting is a little bit too farJ (round about 720km or 447 miles). That’s the whole story and a great experiance for all…but now some pictures The package arrived (also a brown box;-) ) Really nice: two buckets for two versions:-) the bucket is finished...tried to build and paint accurate now the torso and here in the tantative style both buckets...one ANH the other ESB Why ESB too???? We also have two handguard versions:-) ...sadly without rubber cloves My wife did the belt Some strapping pics and for different sizes My first dropbox build:-) (i'm one of the dirty ones) The last pic before shipping... And now back into the real brown box...that brings back memories when this box arrived to me... THE IMPERIAL POST OFFICE WANTS YOU! Now, we all waiting for some pics of a happy girl in her dream....(pics follow) so long....move along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
