Hi All!
I've been a long time fan of the 501st, and saw you all at comic con. I was the slightly pregnant darth vader rocking around (nice term to say I have a big gut LOL). Since the visit I've been inspired to join up. I've figured I'm a little too short to pull off a decent dark vader, so I'm going to go with my next favourite sith - Darth Revan.
I've studied the korean way of the sword -kumdo and this is one of the reasons I like Revan, besides loving his helmet for a long time. Plus seems there is only one other Revan in the 501st in Australia so love to be the second.
I've already started sourcing things like the mask, gloves, boots, and hakama. I've studied the korean way of the sword and this is one of the reasons I like revan. As I understand it you have an armor making group meeting which will help heaps with the chest armor and probably building in a girdle to hide my girth
My wife is a quilter and has a room dedicated to this, so I'll most likely being getting her involved to help out with other things.
Question for the moment, is where is the best place to get light sabres? I saw lots at comic con and i think one would look good with my other sword collection.
Thanks all
