Toyhunter80's at the Clone Wars opening Erie, PA

[Toyhunter80's]

Well I made it. The helmet was a bit rushed and it is the one thing I should have taken the most time on. But that is because I got the helmet Thursday when I got home from work at 4:00. The theater I went to is an hour away from my house and I wanted to get there with enough time, so I had 6 hours to do the helmet from start to finish. At the theater there were a few 501st members from the Carida Garrison including General Fidelis, who posts here. So I got to hang with them for a bit, but it was hard to really talk with the helmet on. Just before the movie started they took off. I found out latter it was to change. I sat through the whole movie all geared up. So here are the pictures of the event. My wife met me at the theater and posed for a pic, but she had to work in the morning and she didn't stay. So in true nerd fashion, I went to the movie with my parents! At least I don't still live in their basement (although I did until I was 25). So here are the pics, finally!

Your GM looks awesome. Glad you got your bucket in time. These are some pretty sweet pictures. I'm digging your Kama. Just like you, I also went without a backpack which in a way is a good thing because sitting for the movie with it on would proably be a pain in the arse. It's also cool know that you met up with General Fidelis.

Thanks, RamZ. General Fidelis from these boards is the General Kenobi in the front of most of the pictures.

Nicely done Toyhunter. It looks really good.

By the way, what was up with the guy in Jedi costume posing with his saber, but no blade? Was he Obi-Wan and just doing that because Vader was right there? Haha. But seriously, that's strange.

That's just a stunt hilt that was probably a prop for his belt. Assuming that someone might have experience using photoshop or someother photo editing software. He probably posed to have a blade Modded later on (I know becasue I do that sometimes when I cosplay a Jedi).

By the way, that's General Fidelis according to Toyhunter80.

[General Fidelis]

It was good to finally meet you, Toyhunter!
I wish we had more time to talk shop, but we dipped out of the lobby shorty after you got there to change. I didn't even think to LYK where we were going. Sorry about that, brother. You did a great job getting your GM troopable, especially in such short time. You really pulled that one out, man!

And yes, that's me in my Jedi General garb, but I'm not supposed to be Obi-Wan or any other main character. I'm actually....General Fidelis! That costume is far from done, but I wanted to wear it anyway.
As far as the poses go, ramz is right. Those are Photoshop prep. poses. Personally, I don't like carrying around an FX or anything with a "blade". Plus, I machined my own lighsaber hilt and don't want to mod it to hold a light tube.




Also, while some of us are 501st members (and RL members), we were there representing the 327th Star Corps, that night. With that group, you can be a good guy or bad guy. That's why I was able to wear my GF costume.

GF, I like the hilt. And the only reason I said Obi-Wan, was thinking that you had no blade lit and Vader was right behind you...

[Toyhunter80's]

Sorry for the incorrect info General! It was gret to meet you, well sort of. I sat through the whole thing in my costume. Idiot! I was hoping to catch you after the show, but no dice. Maybe some other time. Keep in touch and I will let you know of any Star Wars events in the Jamestown area that you might be able to get to and like wise Let me know of anything in the Erie area.

General Fidelis, that is a gorgeous Hilt. Great Job. I too am thinking about machining a hilt to go with my GM (specifically, Ki Adi Mundi's as a little gag).

...Don't feel so bad. I did the same thing (2x on the same day).
