Greetings TDH,
I am 46yo, married, and have two great boys, 17yo and 19yo. My boys and I are huge Star Wars and Doctor Who fans. I finally made the decision about 2 years ago to join the 501st Legion. It took me over a year and a half to complete a 501st-approved sandtrooper that I am very proud of (TD-50176), and I have been having a fantastic time trooping in it over the past 9 months. With all the effort that went into it, I really thought that I would not want to start another costume any time soon. But, the desire is back; I guess I have forgot how much work it is.
So, I have been weighing different options over the past few weeks. I am not fully committed to this choice yet, but what seems to be the clear front-runner for me is the white prototype BF/supertrooper. I would also love to do either an ESB or ROTJ, but we have a few members in southern California that have very nice Fett's, and I really don't want to compete for trooping time with them. But it really comes down to the fact that I just love the prototype/supertrooper version in all-white. I guess that is the stormtrooper/sandtrooper in me.
It seems that there are only a handful of prototype Fett/supertroopers completed. I am looking forward to connecting with those folks to work through this process, if (as?) I move forward.
Cheers,
Mark
