Pink Ribbon Walk 2013 @ Marina Bay Sand Promenade

My first outdoor trooping which I'll never forget!

It was a whole lotta difference from indoor events. The sweat, the warmth, the heat, the uneven ground. So many elements of an outdoor troop that makes me all the more admire the other guys who have been doing this for YEARS!

Supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Starting with a 3.8km walk.

Posing at the starting line.

I made a couple of ribbons to carry around and smaller ribbons to wear on our armors.

Gives our looks a very sentimental, soft touch.

Halfway through the walk, we bumped into Melody Chen from Kiss92 radio station.

But the real draw there is PINK SPIDERMAN!!!!

These little boys were LITERALLY our FANBOYS!

Apparently fans of Star Wars but also they had these little pink fans which they used to fan us with.

Super duper sweet.

At the halfway mark they even helped us take refreshments from the drink stand so that we need not squeeze with the rest of the crowd.

*super big thumbs up*

The super pink gang!!! 

Oh yeah ... after 2 hours of walking and stopping to pose for photos, we have at last arrived at the finish line!

A pink Skechers sneaker!!! So huggable!

End of the night, a final pose in front of the beautiful Singapore City scape.

Come join us at the Pink Ribbon Walk 2013

I've order new darts and a whole new armor set. All my previous darts broke. The armor I have currently is a little wrongly sized. Also needing the correctly done shoes plates and back plate to complete the costume.

Ooh but today preparing to go for the Pink Ribbon Walk 2013 at Marina Promenade this Saturday, 28th September 2013. Re-sewed the loose velcro pieces on the suits and stuck new velcro pieces for the armor.

Also happily UniQlo is selling their Winter lines again and I managed to get the turtle neck cotton tee that I needed to replace my current lycra one with. Bought a balaclava too for the meanwhile with my current suit & top that doesn't seem to cover my neck well enough.

Anyway if anyone's reading this, be sure to come down for the Pink Ribbon Walk event this Saturday. It's free and we will be at a photobooth where contributions will be to the Breast Cancer Foundation. I might be taking part in the 3.8km walk too.

It's finished ... almost

I've only left the boot plates which I've to order and can only arrive next month.
Need to get my paypal account linked to my credit cards ... taking longer than expected.

I lost some photos which I took of the weathering of the helmet and armour. Not to mention I 3D-printed my darts and other greebles on my bracers. But all my darts broke during my trooping as they were too fragile. Going to order steel darts of the Boba Fett type.

I thank all the people who have helped me throughout my progress.

Jetpack - Cruz
Blasters - Woodchuck
Pouches and Belt - Seeker
Paintwork, Weather and a lot of ad hoc items that I bumped into along the way - Aaron & Desmond from Singapore Garrison

I also thank the Singapore Garrison who welcomed me with open arms ever since beginning of 2013. First "mission" as a minder in Chingay 2013 got me hooked and I never stopped since.

After that was minding for the special Star Wars exhibition at the Singapore Philatelic Museum for both May the Fourth and Father's Day. Then helping with phototaking in Legoland Malaysia. It has been a BIG BLAST!

Now below photos taken from the recent event. STGCC (Singapore Toys Games Comics Convention) 2013 at MBS (Marina Bay Sands). It was more exhilirating than I bargained for.

Favourite moments are when kids recognise my costume by NAME!!! Bo Katan! I love them. Meeting the new people was fantastic too.

Meeting the famous R2D2 face to "face"

 Posing with my fellow Bounty Hunters clan.

The popular Iron Ladies.

Bo wants to sign up for the Droid Hunt as well but she didn't expect that she's the one to be hunted.

Charlie's Angels pose Woot!

I had a LOT of fun ... and I hope the others did too.

Most of the Garrison by the end of day 2.

Lucky us, someone did a Wookie costume! It was AWESOME!!!

Lotsa new characters appeared this year. Can't wait to do this again.
