Air we go............

As any trooper knows it gets very very hot inside the helmet so I've finally decided to buy a couple of fans for the helmet just in time for the Fantasy Fair and for the premier on the 16th

Below are some pictures showing the newly fitted fans

These boots were made for walking.....

The one thing I have not had for my Trooper suit was a proper pair of Trooper boots

This has now all changd with the arrival of my new boots from www.caboots.com

Not long now before their first outing at the Peterborough Fantasy Fair at the Cresset, Peterborough on May 8th....
