Hello! I've been cosplaying as an x-wing pilot for two years now, and I'm only just figuring out there's a group for that haha. I've got the bulk of the costume up to rebel standards, what I'm really having trouble with is finding some decent boots (why, why do women's boots come with so many buckles and add ons!?) -- I think I need to order the code cylinders and flares for the cuff that goes over the boot as well, but otherwise I've got it all, including a black-series red pilot helmet
I've been wearing it with a rebel mask the last few years, and let me tell you, de-fogger has been my lifesaver... its tough to be a pilot when you cant see where you're going.
I'm hoping to have the basics ready to submit by comicon, given that I basically have the entire costume ready to go sans boots and cylinders. If not, I'll still be there in costume of course!
I'm really excited to make some star wars friends and join the troop. The charity events sound like so much fun! I actually ended up recently trying to join the mandos at first as they were the only group I knew, before realizing, hey, I already have and wear a full x-wing costume... Maybe I should simplify this and try to find some fellow rebels? And they pointed me in the right direction
thank you kind mandos for my life...
