My name is Ian (TK 6094) and I am based in Plymouth in the UK.
I have been a member of the 501st since 2012 and built and cleared several costumes. I currently have a Stormtrooper and Biker Scout. All my other costumes have been retired.
I like both the Snowtrooper and Snow Scout costumes. I particularly like the Snow Scout as it is a cool combination of both Biker Scout and Snowtrooper. I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain a complete RS Snow Scout costume from my friend and fellow UKG member Justin.
Most of the costume fits okay except the flight suit which was too large as Justin is taller than me. I bought a new flight suit as I felt it to be easier to make a new one rather than amend the existing one. Well, when I say I felt it easier to make, I mean for my favourite seamstress, my wife Kathy to make for me. She is also a fellow 501st member (TK6348) and TK and Scout.
I have included a photo of my first rough fitting for the costume.
Thanks for welcoming me to Blizzard Force!
