Active Hunter
Fellow NER Brother and approved ROTJ Boba Fett Rick Massa from NJ passed away in 2016. I was fortunate enough to win the auction for his armor so that we could keep it trooping in the Garrison in his honor with the money going to his long time girlfriend who sadly has stage 4 cancer. This is the build thread of me getting Rick's armor back to trooping level. My name is Sean Glennon, a Marine Veteran and Music Teacher in NJ who is honored to wear Rick's armor one day with your help! My TK ID is TK/CT/TC/CC 19812.
