My TK Armor

Posted by Noel on Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Yesterday we had invited all the local 501st members over to help me put together my TK armor. Our new friend, Alex, who is also a 501st hopeful, was here too putting the finishing touches on his armor. It’s pretty amazing to finish it all in a day, AND to have it done so well! Some people take months to put their armor together… and I understand why. It was a lot of work, and I could NOT have done it without everyone’s help. Everyone just grabbed something and started working. Thanks again guys!

So, around 2:30 a.m. I had my armor on and was getting my pictures taken for submission to the Legion. Here are pictures of the process.

    My favorite parts are the gun, the bucket, and the whole thing! And, of course, the attitude. The dark side really is alluring when you can wear such envious armor.
