New workshop!

We have been working on our new workshop, and except from a few shelves it is done! The room is still the same that we have used before, but we have painted and added some nice workbenches. We are ready for armour party next week! :-D


This is how the room looked like one week ago.


Me with steel brush, goggles and mask.


Ole painting the tricky area.


Measuring, everything have to be correct!


Done!

So, what do you think?

Star Wars dress

I made a dress yesterday from vintage Star Wars fabric I bought on ebay. It turned out pretty cute, don't you think?

Portrait of Darth Vader, SL-7060

Inspired by Andreas in the Nordic Garrison, I wanted to paint a picture of Darth Vader. Then what's better than actually use my fiancé SL-7060 as a model? :D

We did a photo shoot in the garden (wonder what the neighbours thought, hehe) and ended up with some pretty cool pictures that we manipulated in Gimp. Then I printed the whole image to a overhead sheet and projeted the image to the canvas. When I had the image where I wanted it, I drew thin lines with a pencil and marked what areas should be white and black. I made sure all the lines were just a tad into the black area, so it would be concealed by the black paint. Then I painted with acrylic paint.

I'm pretty happy with it!

Drawings from the kids!

I attended the The Scandinavian Sci-Fi, Game and Film Convention in Malmö this weekend, and a boy came to me with this drawing! Aww, that softens a troopers heart! Thank you so much, Matteus!

The Bounty Hunter's Guild patch

Being in the 501st includes lots of temptations when it comes to shopping, and one of those are the patches. There are patches for almost everything! Garrison patches, department patches, event patches, cause patches and lots of more.

My latest patch is a department patch from the Bounty Hunter's Guild. That is where my Boba Fett will belong when he is done! (Yes, I call him "he", not "it". I think I'm in love. *blush*)

My suitcase is ready!

When you get the Elite status with the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (FISD) you also get some really cool decals. I've used mine on my TK suitcase, so now I will recognize it for sure! I think it looks awesome, and it's so nice to get stuff like this!
