Hello - Wendell - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Hello Everyone, I've just joined the forum and I'm very interested in becoming an active member. I live on the Sunshine Coast. Just thought I would introduce myself. Regards Wendell RE: Hello - Imperial Drone - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Hi Wendell, welcome to the Redback forum! Have you decided on a costume yet? RE: Hello - Wendell - Friday 22-Apr-2016 I'm thinking about a Tie Pilot. Obviously I'm now looking for lots of advice and assistance in locating appropriate costume items. My girlfriend and I have been active members in historical reenactment for 15 years so sewing won't be an issue RE: Hello - Scotty33 - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Welcome to the forums! You can have a browse through the CRLs here for some help in choosing a costume: http://www.501st.com.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=29 RE: Hello - Draco - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Wendell, what kind of name is that? Sounds a bit girly. We accept all kinds in the Legion. RE: Hello - Wendell - Friday 22-Apr-2016 I would have picked Draco, but my girlfriend would slap me for choosing something so feminine Thanks for the welcomes so far everyone. I'm sure I would like to be a Tie Pilot. Trying to get registered on the JRS forum. I really need a complete list of what items I am best buying, and what I am best making myself. If anyone on this forum can steer me in the right direction I would be most appreciative. Thank you in anticipation. RE: Hello - Chiro - Friday 22-Apr-2016 This is what Slide effect posted in another newbies post, hope it helps. (Friday 22-Apr-2016, 06:53 PM)Slide Effect Wrote: Tally Ho!!!! Look in the thread just started in fresh recruits by Lord Straxxus Hello - Slide Effect - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Hi Wendell Mate welcome aboard firstly and secondly GREAT choice in costume. Check out above where I listed various items for Tie Pilot Reserve gear. Once you get in the JRS you will find various armour makers etc too. Ask plenty of questions and have fun........ As for medieval reenactment a mate of mine us a Russian Prince (and a viking too I think), all I know about it is he likes belting people with axes lol.

Also perhaps the balaclava and/or neck seal. Just be sure to follow the TIE pilot crl exactly and also take photos and ask advice. I have a set of TIE pilot armour on order from Walts Trooper Factory, you can contact Walt via Facebook. See BigDub's build thread to see what a set of WTF TIE armour looks like when (99%) complete. There are other manufacturers out there, you just have to decide what you would prefer cost/time wise. Hello - Slide Effect - Friday 22-Apr-2016 My mother is a dressmaker so naturally I asked her to make my flightsuit. Once she looked at type and amount of material and also factored in time, fittings etc it was cheaper and easier to buy it [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]. Not a problem if you are not being charged for time but still worth thinking about.

Does she have a sister. RE: Hello - Wendell - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Thanks for all that info guys. Lots of research to do No doubt I'll be asking lots of questions in the future. Draco, you sound like a nice guy. She does have a sister and maybe we can work something out Good advice about the flight suit Slide Effect. We were looking at the one available on ebay from the earlier post above. At that price, I've purchased it and if small adjustments are required we can certainly manage it. BTW, your friend who does Viking and likes swinging axes, he's on the right track RE: Hello - Phantom - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Hi Wendell. Looks like you have been given plenty of good advice and you look like you have made a friend already in Draco Have a read through this thread for all the CRLs and run down on the approval process. http://www.501st.com.au/forum/showthread.php?tid=6720 And definetly sign up on the relevant detachment to do all your research. Have fun! Hello - Sly - Friday 22-Apr-2016 Welcome Wendell!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk RE: Hello - Altair - Saturday 23-Apr-2016 Welcome to the forums |
