Title: Newbie Saying Hello
Post by: Blackthorpe on September 25, 2017, 02:28:17 PM

Hello!

I've been interested in joining the 501st and/or the Rebel Legion for a long time. I talked to some members at RCCC (and actually attended the Wampa Ball in San Diego this year), and have been really impressed with how open and welcoming everyone is.

Eventually, I'd love to get a full set of armor, but will probably start with something simpler. Mark, who I spoke with at RCCC, recommended TIE Pilot to start, which would be awesome. I would also go for Imperial Officer. On the Rebel side, I'm interested in Rebel Fleet Trooper, Pilot, or Jedi. A Mando would be cool, too. I started working on one of those years ago, but didn't ever get it finished. I don't have a lot of money at the moment, so simpler would be better to start. I don't think I've got the face (or hair) to be any of the face characters. ;-)

Oh, I live in Corvallis, but also spend time in Eugene and have family up toward Portland.

Welcome! Lots of info here and many have documented their costume progress that can be helpful. Feel free to ask questions too.

let me know if you choose the Tie Pilot route, I may be able to help out with some armor pieces.

Thanks, Chris! I am definitely liking the idea of the pilot, so that would be awesome!

Greetings. If you're interested in a Rebel pilot I can certainly help with questions if you have them. I'm a Rebel pilot costume judge in the Rebel Legion and commanding officer of the Rebel Legion Starfighter Command. :)

We could definitely use some more Rebel pilots here. Gotta fight back against those bucketheads, you know.

Thanks, Blue Leader! I am definitely interested in being a Rebel pilot, as well! Guess I'm a bit of a dual personality and want to play both sides. ;-)

Well, everyone knows that Rebels have more fun. :)
