Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008

Ol'Dan was at the 501st Legion - Singapore Garrison booth (B15) over the weekend (28-29 June) and 'trooped' as an Imperial Officer, Death Star Gunner and AT-AT Driver from the Star Wars movies.

I don't know if I bumped into readers (other than Ah-9 and Natsu) of my comic blog there but here're some pics of me in costume (photos copyright of their respective owners):

Ol'Dan as an AT-AT Driver (Left) - Btw, I love that little girl's facial expression. Hehe.

Thanks for the polaroid, Ah-9 and Natsu. Good to see you again :)

STAR WARS & Me - 501st Legion

By now some of you would have known I'm a Star Wars costumer via my entry on the Chingay Parade. But what you may not know is that I'm part of an international costuming organisation known as the 501st Legion, which specialises in costuming as the Imperial forces from the Star Wars movies. Singapore has its own 'garrison' with 34 members.

Today's Straits Times LIFE! features our garrison as part of their write-up on the subculture of hardcore fans. Ol'Dan can be spotted in the photos (see below):

Chingay 2008 - Star Wars & Me

I participated in (my first ever) Chingay Parade 2008 over 15 and 16 February along with friends from the Star Wars costuming community. Came across some pics (big thanks to the respective photographers) from other sites with me in it:


Above: Ol'Dan looking sinister as an Imperial Officer on the far right. (Click the pic above to view more pics of the Star Wars costumers contingent)


Above: Ol'Dan (far left) marching along with Lord Vader, Emperor Palpatine and other troopers. (Click the pic above to view a larger image)

Our contingent marched into the center of the parade ground at City Hall from the junction between Coleman Street and Saint Andrew's Road but that was minutes before the parade went 'live' at 8pm on Channel 8.

Exhausting but fun.

:D
