Hello from Springfield Lakes!

[Dreadnought]

Hi everyone, my name is Jason Fisher and I live in Springfield Lakes. I have been a Star Wars fan since the late 1970s (I would like to point out I was just a kid at the time!) but have not really been involved in fandom at all. I recently learnt about the 501st and it seemed like a great way to express my interest in the Star Wars saga and its characters and be involved in a group doing great things for the community. My son and I attended Oz Comic Con over the weekend in Brisbane and we loved the 501st displays, as well as the friendliness and enthusiasm of its members. My son is keen on me developing a Boba Fett costume - this is his favourite character. They even share the same initials! Oddly enough, I have the initials of Fett's 'father'....Perhaps predictably, Boba was a favourite of mine as well when I was my son's age but I am a little concerned about the complexity of such a costume. Part of my concern also stems from the fact I would not exactly describe myself as 'handy' so am unsure how I will go when it comes to constructing any aspect of my Boba Fett costume. However, enough of the negatives and the worries. I'm keen to start this project and get involved and, hopefully, one day join the 501st. Cheers.
