TK/TI/IG/IN/IC-3493 of the 501st Legion
Final flight preparations are in place for deployment to MCM Comic Con Birmingham this weekend.
TI/IN/IC-3493 will be ready to instill a discipline and impose Imperial presence to all that are attending.
If you are going along, have a fantastic time, and make sure you behave….!
TK3493 was looking after a TK and TIE who were deployed to keep order and maintain discipline at London’s Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square.
This was to ensure that ticket releases for The Rise of Skywalker went to Imperial plan.
The annual 501st UK Garrison event was again held at the National Space Centre this weekend, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The recorded temperature was extremely high, but that did not stop the costumes coming out and the audience being impressed.
I took the opportunity to nab a few TIE Fighter Pilots, and Darth Vader himself for a sneaky photoshoot to practice my low light skills, and here’s the results.
And I also managed to get kitted up myself!
TI3493 and IN3493 are in preparations for their deployment on operation Return of the Garrison at the National Space Centre later this month. It’s looking to be an excellent Imperial and Rebel extravaganza!
Make sure to book to avoid disappointment in celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace.
That was a most enjoyable troop with the 501st UK Garrison and R2 Builders.
It was great to see both old and new faces. It was equally as great to get out in IN, IC and TI. Three costumes, sorted!
The Blues Harvest band were fantastic. I couldn’t help but sing along under my helmet and tap a toe in my Knobelbechers.
Next troop with the UK Garrison is Return of the Garrison, again at the National Space Centre. But before that a Cyberman shoot and background cast for a Doctor Who spinoff. Busy, busy!
It’s the 4th of May, so that makes it Star Wars May the Fourth Day!
It was regret this morning that I heard the sad news that Peter Mayhew became one with the force on Tuesday.

May his spirit and good will live on forever, saving lives in his Peter Mayhew Foundation
Flight preparations are underway for the deployment to the National Space Centre for the Revenge of the Fifth event.
The event is to celebrate the annual Star Wars Day of May The Fourth (Be With You).
It’s looking to be a well attended event, with plenty of interesting and different things to do….
We had a fantastic day at ModelKraft this year. The 501st UK Garrison were invited again to add ambiance to show and to help collect funds for Willen Hospice.
Greg looked after us yet again with extreme enthusiasm. Thanks mate!
This year we had the presence of Lord Darth Vader himself. Fortunately Lord Vader was in a good mood and there were no light-sabres wielded.
We also had a really cheeky R2 unit called R2-TK, which when I say cheeky, I really mean cheeky. The environment was nothing short of excellent for our little R2.
The final fund count is not in yet, but here are a few photos taken by Richard Pearn and Greg Hayes on the day.
Final flight preparations are underway for deployment to the annual ModelKraft event in Milton Keynes on Sunday 28-Apr-2019.
The 501st UK Garrison and Reel Icons will be deploying for a 10:00 start at Stadium MK.
So, bring some change and help us support Willen Hospice.
