Hello fellow galactic travellers,

I'm new. As you can tell.

I have joined because I love everyones work and it has helped fuel a secret obsession of mine. One particularly sexy bounty on the weekend has definitely convinced me to follow her on the hunt!

I also have the sad misfortune of dating and living with aasmetz so our costumes will be a constant competition against each other (I won't be against anyone helping me in my vendetta against him).

In short I'm still learning and am keen to meet new people and make new friends, whilst putting smiles on peoples faces!

[Duras]

Welcome! Who's aasmetz though?

Welcome to the Redback forums Ralj
Nothing like a bit of healthy competition.

[Ralj]

Duras - aasmetz is only new as well. We both took the plunge into the forums today!

Sly - completely agree! Makes life more interesting.

[Duras]

Aww hence my comfuzzwlment

Well good luck to the pair of you...any ideas what you are thinking of starting with?

[Dreadnought]

Welcome Ralj. I'm a relative newbie too, working on my first build. These guys will look after you!

[TheWolf]

Welcome! What costume are you thinking of doing first?

[Moxxxie]

hey hey! Welcome, welcome!

Got a shortlist of ideas yet? I'm always fond of the classic Stormtrooper. They're so iconic!

[Ralj]

Thanks everyone for being so welcoming.

Phantom - I will definitely have a look at the link. Thanks :D

Sithprincess - I love the black milk in your pic. I have the R2 and darth vader swim.

Scorpian- I'm really excited to get started. I've been interested in joining for so long and only have ever done simple cosplays but love to learn new things.

Oberon - I feel like I will be doing a lot of 'help me im new' posts.

The Wolf and Moxxie - Im trying to shorten my list. Am really wanting to do a bounty hunter but im not 100% sure if I want it yo be my first one. Any suggestions?

[TheWolf]

Well, you could start with a simple Crewman.
The many of the parts are used for multiple costumes, right up to the Tie Pilot. (About 5 or six use the same bits....)
It's comfy and easy to do too...
That's a good simple starter... Then work on your favorite..

[Ralj]

That does sounds like a good way to start. Thanks I will definitely look into doing that

[Sithprincess]

Yeah, I've become a bit of a Black Milk addict.

It has some good ideas for costumes for girls.

Also, I sent you a PM. Hope you got it.

I'm happy to help with any ideas or advice you need.
