Newbie reporting in from Sunshine Coast, QLD

[kikivader]

Hello! My name is Kiki (kikivader). Some of you i think already know me i've been to acouple of supanovas and gencons now (slave leia costume :P www.myspace.com/kikivader for pictures).

I am currently living on the Sunshine coast but also commute to the Gold Coast every week for study.

I am currently in the process of putting my first set of armour together. I have been recommended to come drop by and introduce myself and ask for hints and tips

The armour that i am putting together is a fem-shadowtrooper. The story behind it is it was originally just a richies armour femtrooper (but richie did a really bad job of molding it and was not very nice when it came to receiving negative feedback about his sloppy work - alot of bad words were exchanged) but someone i knew said they could fix it and long story short our friendship fell through after waiting half a year for it i received it back damaged and completely messed it up with cracks, black and glue stains and scratches all over it so i pulled it apart and got it professionally painted black all over in a last bid to save it.

(takes in a deep breath)

So now a year later I see it still sitting in my bag after much trouble and stress but have decided i'm not going to give up on it just yet! and now im determined to put it together by the end of the year so it will be ready for supanova next year

So Im not sure where to go from here but if anyone can give me advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated

Hope to hear from you!

Kiki
