Hello,
I used to be in Bloodfin Garrison when it was the local unit covering Fort Wayne. I attended Star Wars Celebration 3 (yes, I got lucky before they moved it to CA) in 2005 and loved every minute of the Star Wars fandom. My favorite character has always been Boba Fett. I saw Empire in the theater when I was a kid. After Celebration 3, I vowed to have my own movie costume. I built a Sandtrooper and a Fett. The Sandtrooper was of good quality but the Fett was really lacking. I had the Trooper 501st approved with the idea I would work on the Fett. I ended up having kids and getting on with life. I sold both costumes. I have always had a 'bucket list' item to own a quality Fett. I recently purchased an entire kit out of The Dented Helmet Cargo Hold. It was in great shape and I would say was "almost there". I have since added a lot of upgrades and I am happy to announce I have been approved!! It appears we may be able to reactive my old TK number so if all goes to plan I will be BH-1888 soon! I live in Auburn, IN so just North of Fort Wayne. My Boba is ESB and I look forward to participating in some troops. I am really busy this summer and I would really like to be a part of the Tin Caps event in Fort Wayne. I look forward to meeting some other Garrison members.
