G'day All. Am 36, married with 2 little ones, and live near Mackay in QLD. Have always wanted a Star Wars Costume of some type and upon wondering when\where I could ever use it, I've discovered the 501st and the Redbacks. Am just saying 'hello' and intend to follow the forums a bit to see if it feels like home. Have no costume yet and no idea of how to begin to make one. Am more of a mechanically minded sort of soul and am much more at home with an motorbike or tractor in pieces than in front of a sewing machine or gluepot. Vader is the outfit I've always wanted the most so I wonder, does anyone have a spare Vader for sale ? Have already been warned off eBays offerings, but have virtually no chance of owning one I didn't buy. Not being from the South-East Corner, I'm a fair bit removed from the parties and costume-making get-togethers I've read about in the forums already, but I want a Star Wars outfit, I want to show it off, and if it ever helps a charity along the way, then that's great too. Anyhow, hello, help, and let's see if it feels like home.
