Re: AlpineDarthMaul


I got to do my first troop with an R2-D2 while Trooping with the Mountain Garrison in Denver for the StarWars in Concert. It was assumed by some of my garrison members that because I was trooping as Threepio that I'd get to meet Tony for sure. But after one show in Salt Lake City and 2 more shows in Denver, a meeting with Tony didn't happen for any garrison members not even an obvious gold one. But trooping with R2-D2 was more than enough to make me happy.

Here is a couple videos from the event. You'll have to pardon the sound.. My voice amp is not nearly loud enough compared to R2, and still a bit wonky. (Even though I've talked to several people about better ones, it's not happened yet.)

Lemme know what you think!!

Re: AlpineDarthMaul


It's been SO long since I have trooped as Threepio, but now that I have him back with a new shiny coating he is going be be up and running again in no time!
In many ways, I wish I could have had him this pristine from the start because there have been plenty of troops that happened in the transition that I missed out on. But doing all of this work at one time is expensive and so I have had to settle doing it in stages. But the new look has reinvigorated and excited me to do my best at doing this character justice! Lol
It should be soon that you can all see my first troop in the "new" suit.

Untill then, I'll add a few more pics of the upgrade progress.

I have been working on new gloves. I used the square gold brads, very much like what I had originally with one change. I sprayed the brads with clear coat to keep them from tarnishing and turning black.

Re: AlpineDarthMaul


The square bits (brads) were found on eBay. I tried many local stores and could only find them in silver. I was tempted to just get the silver ones and paint them gold, but I found some online rather easily.
