Planet Jump
Troop #24
The 501st Legion received an invite to participate in a birthday party for a young boy who is particularly fond of Star Wars. It was hosted at a place named Planet Jump in Largo, FL. The establishment houses large inflatables, similar to what people my age refer to as a "moonwalk". They had a cake made for the event that resembled a .75 scale R2D2, which not only looked awesome but tasted just as amazing.
There were about 15 kids at the party and it was a lot of fun. Then it happened....
After we got out of costume the family invited us to stay for a while and hang out. I was meeting with my family about 25 miles away so I dipped out, the others stayed behind to play on the inflatables. So about 30 minutes after leaving I get a call saying "we are taking Robert to the hospital, he broke his leg." Purportedly he had been on a large inflatable with a long slide and made an unfortunate turn at the end, snapping his leg in 3 places.
No good deed goes unpunished.

Armor Party
Troop #1
And so it begins...
So I have all of my armor ready to be made. It's made of ABS plastic and vacuum molded into the Storm Trooper costume shape. In the photos below you can see how it's received, how it's put together, and how it looks once complete. This Armor Party was hosted by Sheila Price and had a good turn out with members coming out. I got to meet the majority of people I had talked with on the forums leading up to my induction into the group so it was nice putting faces with names.
Plastic Wield, white industrial strength Velcro, super glue, one pack of cigarettes, and the ability to stand in front of total strangers in a full body unitard is all it takes to get your cotume together. A few of the guys were awesome enough to build my entire helmet, sans the stick decals and expression points.
