That's the plan.  

July 2000 I first met (well, was arrested by) the UK Garrison who had a couple of months earlier joined the 501st officially. Yes, I wanted to be a stormtrooper! I did nothing about this until May 2005 when I was also at the ROTS Premiere, probably stood next to Dave! So of course, what did I do... I promptly formed the Rebel Legion UK Base hehe! Costuming, charity and community to fill the then rebel void there was. That was my passion to join, both then and now.
 
The circle was however completed in 2011 when I cleared my TK. I guess that was a long build time...! Still love both Legion's
 

 
 

At ease Admiral Bridges. You selflessly served so many people in so many diverse communities and will be remembered for all the lives you touched and what you achieved. Sleep well my friend.

Rony Bridges who played the Admiral in The Force awakens has sadly passed away, Rony was a good friend to me and the 501st, smooth sailing Admiral.
 

May 16th 2005 arrived in London to see all six films back to back finishing with the premiere of Revenge of the Sith.
Was meet by 20+ Stormtroopers from the UKG stood outside the cinema.
Knew then I wanted to become one , spoke with a few of the crew and within a few weeks had joined the forum and had all my armour on order.
Hadn't heard of the UKG or 501st until that day , but had seen people in costume at various events before but had no idea they were part of a worldwide organisation.
That day changed my life for the better and 14 years on still love going out in a costume and putting smiles on faces of all ages.
 

I meet a guy who was dressing up as Boba Fett in a small event on FX/props for movies may be 2007? As I am a big fan of Boba Fett. At that time it was group was fun by 2 to 3 guys. It took sometime for me to join because I was still a student. I join in 2009 with the 501st. But I left just after a few months later because I end up got upset on the way how the people were in the group and one of the main's wife a bully I feel at that point (as I was trooping for an event. So many things bomb at my face seeing the "Real" group way. So I can't agree on joining a group if I were to face that each time I go for an event and the way how it is run.

So I left.

But only 7 years later, in 2016, I came back again because of people that I meet at UK SWC and I feel that the group did change for the better. And I hope it stays the same. And I do want if I can promo about crafting costume and how to do being together as a group. 

May I suggest that in future everyone works openly with the detachment as that will prevent cross wires.
 

I use a standard bomber jacket, needs some updates though
 

 

The Veers figure is awesome, it's mainly because of that figure that is driving me to finally buy the AT-AT Commander armor.

Here's my officer detachment fan jacket for over 4.5 years of trooping.
 

 

Wishing everyone has a Happy Holiday Season this year!!

Hi All I have noticed some members have trouble uploading pictures to the forum, In this age of tablets and smart phones I highly recommend Tapatalk, this app give the user the ability to upload pictures direct to their posts easy and simple 

I've read this thread with interest and it's a great build but if there's doubt that Hask should get a unique CRL, then as others have pointed out, hes a cutscene character with dialogue and a main character in the game - does anyone else in the 501st actually even have a costume like this? I thought  a costume was needed before adding to a CRL.... every journey has a beginning... and the challenges  making a real life costume of a game version look to have been overcome. We can dwell on some things waaaaaay too much. Let's get to work... for the Empire!

I was lucky enough to come across some unwanted snowtrooper parts which, over time, I was able to convert into Veers armor. It was a lot of work, but worth it. Like the guys have mentioned, ACD is ultimately the best place to source most of the bits you'll need. 

I used the normal wrist glove for my Officer when wearing the poncho. But there are some of the dudes that did combo it with the Black Gauntlet Glove. 

Just Proposing for Admiral CRL. 


The Design is the same as the Colonel. But they are wearing is a cape instant of a coat like hux. And I did notice that the pants that they are wearing is rounded not pointed like the Colonel's











 

Because cleaning the sleeve with makeup stains, sucks balls alot. 

When I do makeup for my krennic, even I use fixler for the makeup, it still left stains marks the collar 
 
That if your GML is ok with Nude glove kind? So from far or from the photos it do not look like gloves? :/ (I know this will not look movie cannon........ OTL)

Yes, those are my patches sold through the Walt's Trooper Factory website and Facebook group. The design is by Juan Jose Matamoros bases on my CRL submissing pictures.

Greetings IOC,
 
I've been forwarded an email by the LMO, a request to submit and update some CRL's.  He's asked me to remind our members that there are proper channels to submit and update a CRL.
 
We have a CRL discussion forum to post and work through the CRL.  So please post your proposals, all very valid and well thought out BTW, to the CRL discussion area so we can make fast work of them.   Also, the attachments with the bulk of the work wouldn't open, please post them to the proper area as well.
 
We have published and edited more CRL's by any detachment ever this year, most of them went smoothly.  There have been a few bumps in the road but a CRL is a constantly changing document, always open for interpretation and improvement.   We don't want to revert to the days when the detachments had no say in how a CRL was worded or presented, but that could happen if some of the type of disruptions continue to occur out of the proper chain of progression.   
 
Many may not know that our LMO team member stepped down due to attacks that occurred over the year by certain members.  That has to and will stop now...We will get no more assistance from the LMO team if some of our members can't post in a civil manner. 
 
We don't want to loose our reputation as one of the friendliest detachments in the Legion and I hope that any of the members that may have "rocked the boat" a bit this year, didn't do it with the specific intention to cause friction in our detachment...that will not be acceptable.
 
I'm not calling anyone out specifically, but making this statement to encourage all the loyal members to call out any negativity as they see it.  
 
Let's keep our detachment and the 501st fun.
 
Thanks everyone,
Mark Ryner/ID-4584
IOC/DL

Looks like our favourite lady is getting battle armour
