Hi all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Matt Gaul and i live in SE Portland.
I had heard about the 501st a couple of times in the past and filed it away as "that would be cool to do some day". I recently found the 501st web site while researching my Halloween costume for this year (Jango Fett but not up to 501st standards) and have been watching a few different forums (TDH, clonetroopers.net, thebhg.net, whitearmor.net) the last month or so.
I decided I want to join and get involved with trooping. I think I would like to start out with a TK armor or ep3 clonetrooper. That is if its possible for someone 6'3" and 300lbs to fit into such an armor. I probably won't have the funds to get started till after Halloween though.
I just wanted to say hi and declare my intent to join. I'm open to any advice you may have.
