TK/TI/IG/IN/IC-3493 of the 501st Legion
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!
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.
Flight preparations have started for this weekends deployment to MCM Comic Con Birmingham. We’ve got to make sure everything is in working order now, don’t we!
