Title: Newbs!
Post by: Fenmere on October 17, 2016, 02:11:42 PM: Hello!

I'm new, probably pretty obvious. My RL name is Angie and alter ego is Fenmere. My husband and I went to the meet and greet on Saturday. I've been looking at the 501st for awhile, but the costume requirements are/were bit daunting. I currently have a custom Sith costume, which is being revamped (they're never 100% finished, right?). We're looking to start out spotting while I'm working on a costume for approval. I'm trying to put together a Mother Talzin costume, so I expect it'll be challenging and take awhile.

The normal other info - we're from Milwaukie. I'm a mortgage loan processor and am the only nerdy one in my office. With that said, I have Star Wars prints in my office and will be adding a lightsaber in our companies colors relatively soon (once I rewrap the hilt). I'm a member of the Oregon chapter of the Saber Legion, so fight with a saber a few nights a week. In my down time, I knit, sew, and play WOW.

I look forward to trooping and getting to know more like minded people. Cheers!

Fen

Or Angie

Regarding your custom Sith, do you know about New Order? They take custom Sith.

Oh and yeah - Horde for life! Lok'tar Ogar!

Putting a costume together can certainly be a challenge, no doubt about that, but it's a worthwhile one. You could always start with something more simple or one you can buy most of, like an X-wing pilot, for example, where almost everything can be bought.
