Hello everyone ?
I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Lance have just turned 41. I live in Yamanto (near Ipswich) and I work in the Air Force at Amberley as an Armament Technician. I have always been a BIG Star Wars fan and I first became aware of the 501st back in May when I went to the Dream World Star Wars event. I was very impressed with what I saw and I engaged in few conversations with some of the Redbacks.
Since then I have done a crazy amount of research on the Internet and I am happy to announce that I have ordered and paid the deposit for my first Storm Trooper Armor and Helmet. I ended up ordering a kit through AP Armor in Canada. I am heading to the US in a couple of weeks for work and co-ordinating with Mark to have it delivered to me in Vagus.
I feel like a kid counting down to Christmas. ? And can't wait......
I did also order a E-11 blaster but I'm told that it may be an issue getting it back to Oz. I am currently pursuing that issue with the authorities atm. Any advice on this front would be greatly appreciated.
Well guys and girls - The next step is to put myself out there and meet you all. I'm guessing the best place to do the is at an Armor party? Are there any AP's or other events you would suggest I could come to to meet you all and put faces to names?
