FF:NZ The 501st

So no Mara Jade would be welcome ?

How about a Zam Wessel (supposing I miraculously managed to make the non fabricy/leather bits and bobs)?

Or is the group here more original trilogy focussed?

 

isnt mara jade always welcome (esp around guys) ?

The 501st is most defintely not OT focused. A great number of the costumes are OT but there are alot of Jango's, Zam's and Maul's in the ranks.

There is a level of 'professionality' in the making of the costume needed to be accepted to the 501st though.

understandable. they all look so neat and authentic ;) dont want someone to screw that up

-Mel

 

There's different degrees of 'Professional'

While I personally don't think my costume is good enough, (need to get a better set of torso armor and a new Jetpack!) it's of a good enough level to be accepted.

But I warn you now, once you start on the path of a Bounty Hunter, you will forever be looking for the next little upgrade to make your costume better!

Hell I just finished painting my first helmet when I got word that my second helmet was nearly finished!

 

thats what you are in for when you're obsessed

-Mel

 

I wouldn't say obsessed... just a twit...

 

well we should definitely go and check out the movie together.
here in welly there is Jeff_Fett, avalon_nz, you and me sounds like a party

-Mel

 

Well if you're floating around tonight be at Manners Mall Regent Cinema around 6 and I'll definately be there!

I'm the Fett.

 

oh another fett?!

cant tonight unfortunately.

when are you going to see it again?

-Mel

 

I am 2/8ths of the way towards saving for my Stormy armour!

 

oh another fett?!

What do you mean another????

cant tonight unfortunately.

when are you going to see it again?


Well... what would be a good time for you? I'm open to suggestions!

 

I'm planning on seeing it again tomorrow I guess

another fett: it was just that Jeff_Fett has FETT in his name. thats what I meant sorry

-Mel

 

BH2786 doesn't have Fett in his name anywhere...

He just has the costume, lol.

Germans eh?

 

its cause he said "I'm the fett"

-Mel

 

Cheers for the clarification SFL. But my name is BH2776 not 8.

I'm up for tomorrow evening, I'll be working till 6ish at the latest.

Hope that's a good time for you's

 

SFL just wanted to UP you a little. thats the kind of guy he is

what theatre? I'd love to. maybe Jeff would like to go again as well?
I'll PM him

-Mel

 

I just guessed the number. I knew it started with a 2 and had a 7 in there. You're lucky I got that close!

There was a n00b in the games forum called BH299889755938753495340634

/\ well, that's what we called him. I think his user id was really BountyHunter2968 or something.

You're not him are you?

 

Nope!

I'm fresh off the boat so to speak....

 

Opps sorry.. missed your post before SFL's Mel.

Ummmm. Reading's fine for me, or would you prefer Embassy?

 

I'm pretty well known internationally for my obsessive approach to my historical costumes
SCA and historical stuff.. and the Moulin Rouge areas. I'm going to take off, or put on one page all the older costumes.

The thing that is stopping me from going all out with a Zam costume is having wrists that grind bone on bone Which makes all the non leather/fabric parts that much harder to work on. Even scultping is incredibly painful.

And with Mara, assuming I got it all sorted out (including physical changes).. well I had too much attention from my Satine costume last time I wore it to Armageddon. It's just not fun to be honest.

I think it'll just wind up being a decade long project, the Zam Though melting some plastic accidentally on the stove a while back... OK last night... *cough* not that I forgot which element was actually on *cough* did give me a better idea of what I might do eventually.

It's just a pity there are few female characters in the Empire. At least canon ones Though if I shaved my head...... Shudder, no one wants that. We're not all like Natalie Portman

I may just have to work on the Handmaiden costumes in the meantime seeing as I've been bitten by the SW costuming bug rather harder than the last time I nearly got something done.

 

There's plenty of female characters!!! Let's see...

There's Leia (DUH!!), Mon Mothma, Various Twileks... ummm... some system operators on Hoth.... ummm.... some twileks.... err... you know... there's not many female character aye?

Reading's okay with me.
7PM okay?

-Mel

 

Empire, my son, not the Republic before it turned bad or the Rebels and co They do not belong in the 501st but the Rebel Legion.

Plenty of very groovy and weird women for the "good" side, just not so many canon for the Empire.

 

mara jade was an imperial wasnt she?
