Old 501st pictures unearthed from my blog!

Post by AyKay » Sun May 31, 2009 11:36 pm

It was just two years ago when I still hadn't been acquainted with the guys at the 501st yet. Back then I would always be enthralled whenever I see the familiar white-armoured fellows trooping into some cosplay event and whatnot. Of course now's not the case lah, I walk beside them like nobody's business and do my job of keeping an eye out for my comrades in their vision-impairing buckets.

Here are some photos I took years ago and published onto my long-running blog. Been saved from countless hard drive crashes. :P Just thought I'd inquire who these guys were, out of curiosity. :D Doesn't matter if you can't tell which TK is which. You can just affirm whether you were at that event or not.

I can only be sure the TX with red decals is Donleow and that TD with a gash on the helmet, all too familiar :D

Nice find, bro

Ok, full answers to the photos here:

Haha, at that time I was more oriented to the cosplay side of things. :P

Can't wait for the armour bro. I'm still saving up hard for it!

So it was only 2 years ago when I first encountered William and your TX armour. Back then I guess it really never occurred to me that, 2 years later, I'll be the one donning that armour and joining you guys for a troop. It's something quite interesting to ponder about, eh?

Haha, I think so too.

Come to think of it, I never got the pleasure of seeing Vader at that time. I think it's because Chris B. hasn't joined us yet? Or maybe the only person possessing a Vader costume at that time was Reno...

The Vader at that event was David Yung. :)
He was the Vader at St Patrick's Day Parade for the last 2 years.

Oh yeah, I think Reno was doing the Borg-assilimated Capt. Picard at that time. :D

You mean at Cosfest 2007?

Nah, for the one at Ngee Ann City, I think Reno didn't manage to come due to some family commitments. ;) And at Downtown East, he's probably in another costume.

So any Star Trek character you see will be from StarTrek.Com.Sg as before this year's Chingay, Reno's Borg was WIP I think. :wink:

Actually I just found out his was Locutus, worn only during last year's Chingay. :P
