Alright, I suppose I should get in on this costuming thing. Problem is, as a big dude (ok, fat  ) my choices are limited. And no, I have no interest in JABBA or PORKINS! (yuk yuk). I did pick up the jedi pattern from Joanne's and I have a few ideas about that. Brandon was suggesting a Mandalorian suit, though you don't see many 'chunky' Mandos. Anyone have any ideas?
Oh, and it has to be affordable!

How about a rancor? Kidding. I think a jedi would be great, but I think you could pull off a mando too. If the armor was cut right, and everything was made proprtionally, I think it could work.

If you go on the Mandolorian Mercs site, there are quite a few really big guys. They just look that more intimidating. Its worth checking it out. Maybe you'll get inspired. Lots of cool paint jobs on their armor, too! And, ya know, there aren't too many 5 foot tall mandos out there either, but I'm not letting that stop me!!

Whats wrong with Porkins?
Your a big guy... get over it. It's just to have fun.  Besides do know how many people would LOVE to have their pictures taken with Porkins? Just think about all those babes. lol 
I say you just do a basic Jedi seeing that it's easy to do. Plus you'll problemly feel better about being in it. But untill you get past this big thing you have going on I'm not sure what to till you to do. It's your call. I think you'd make a great Tie Pilot. The suit is all in black and thats slimming. 
You can all ways do the mando with everyone else. They come in all shapes & sizes. That way you can do your own size, color you name it. You know I'll be more than glad to help you out with whatever you desided. The only thing is I've knew you now for over 5 years and your still desiding. lol
SeeYa,
TK

Emperor allways looks cool and due to the robe no-one can tell your size.
Don't worry mate, if you are doing it for charity no-one will care.
Do whatever costume you like buddy.

I told U Steve anytime you'd like help come on by. lol
Me and Brandon started up the New Vacuum form machine the other night. lol The new vacum could suck the paint off a buick. lol 
It was awesome! We only worked out one new mold .. but it did come out great. We were able to fix a few things and work out a couple bugs. lol 
All and all it was a good run. We now know a little better how to cut the molds we need and we'll be all set for the next run. Which should be this week.
SeeYa,
TK

Nice one! What you gonna do with the mouse droid? Fit it to a RC car?
I might be interested in one of those if you are batching?

Oh no...
I hope there was NO problem? Richies... I thought was know to do good work and take care of any problems right off. I hope it all works out for you.
The mouse droids will be done in batchs. I'll hopefully have the first batchs with pictures up some. Andy it is the same model that was used to make the mouse droid I have know. I'm pretty sure you've seen it.
And yes... all you'll have to do to it is drop it on an RC car. Paint it how ever you'd like and add the few details. Which I may even be working on models for them as well. lol We'll see. 
Later,
TK
