Hello everyone! Well, first off, apologies as I am doing this a little backwards. Have actually been researching for a little while and even finished up my build recently and am just waiting final GML approval! Why the secrecy? Well, I wanted to surprise one of my squadmates, who is the only approved Snowie in the entire squad and was always talking about how great it would be to have more snow troopers in the squad. Well, mission accomplished and now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag, I can safely post here on the boards

. We actually also have another member that purchased a snow trooper and just needs to finish some adjustments before submitting for approval. So fairly soon we'll have our own little frosty team!
Now about me, my name is Gary and I joined the 501st last September alongside my brother and my son (Galactic Academy, but he'll join the Legion next year when he hits 18). I've got a number of other costumes (listed in my signature pic) and have just thoroughly enjoyed the experience of bringing smiles to people's faces and meeting so many great people. After finishing this Snowie, I can tell I am going to be trooping it a lot as, dare I say, it's way cooler than the TK

. Now that's cooler as in awesome, not temperature. As you can already tell, we are a little bit of fish out of water dressing as snow troopers in the heat and sun of South Florida. But that's OK and look forward to representing the detachment down in this neck of the woods!
