Title: Dax Corrin's Reserve pilot build
Post by: Dax Corrin on February 21, 2014, 10:01:21 AM

Hi, Dax Corrin here. Been documenting my build of Reserve pilot on the Jolly Rogers forum, but here it is also so Marc can get an eyeball in on what I have so far.

Gloves and boots I got from TerryS, along with the embroidered cogs for flight suit. And, a nice Cloud City Garrison patch that I will proudly display once I have received full membership. The tab that is showing on the glove has been removed.

Katie has finished my hat, but awaiting Greeblie *grooved, but no slot to match my belt*

Katie is also doing my flight suit.
Boots- I am looking to get them stretched just a tiny bit, but first boot shop doesn't have a stretcher that will work in that boot. Search for boot stretcher continues. Pictures later, but if TerryS had them, I bet they are approvable.
Comm-pad will arrive today. It is one of Targ's LED comm-pads, approval pictures will be taken with LEDs off.

So, once I get my flight suit back and sew on the cogs, along with the hat, I will be taking and sending in my 501st application along with my pics to Marc. With a little luck, I hope to be approved in time for the WinterHawks night March 7th, and can spot. I have read and understand the document relating to responsibilities of both 501st members and behaviors, and duties and responsibilities of people working as spotters.

Hope to have a real 501st ID soon! Running over to 501st site to fill out my app and try to find a good unused 5 digit ID.

Aww yeah Dax! Man, you were sellling it with the poses and fistbumps last night that I just totally assumed that this wasn't your first troop. :-)

Good luck on getting some sweet digits! Hopefully the imperial review board isn't slackin' this weekend! :-)

Thank you Cob.  Got any photos? "Pics or it didn't happen"   :grin: I think it was a perfect place for a first troop as things were a bit more relaxed after it got going, and I learned a lot about things like "don't let people with adult beverages pose with us" and it's better to photobomb as a helmeted character. Just a great time, hope I can make next year's event as well.

Sorry, I didn't get any pics... as much as I really wanted to take something I didn't want to look like a gawker on my first night out. :o)

Great Dax.  Look forward to trooping with you.  I live in Eugene and many other members in area.

Macy,

I got a photo with you at Comic-con Saturday, along with my son and daughter. Can't find the pic in the photos posted though. Thanks for the welcome.
