Tom Spina Receives Honorary Membership in 501st Legion
/RFR listeners know the name Tom Spina - Renowned Star Wars props expert and costume restoration expert. Over the years, folks have heard us talk to Tom about his experience working with and repairing authentic Star Wars costumes, as well as creating his own versions of characters from the Galaxy far, far way. He hosts the very popular "Behind The Scenes of The Cantina" panels at Star Wars Celebration and is basically and all-around good guy. We felt the need to show appreciation to Tom for all of his hard work in the Star Wars community, so together with Mark Johnson of the 501st Legion Florida Garrison and friends, we were able to celebrate Tom's work with an Honorary Membership. It all happened in a surprise ceremony during the RFR Celebration Bash, which can be heard right now as a podcast. We are proud to extend our congrats to Tom on his induction AND the debut of his new business Regal Robot - Creators of Star Wars-based furniture. Check it out at their new website now! And be sure to follow @TomSpinaDesigns and @RegalRobot to offer your congratulations to Tom!
