|

Hello everyone.
Woo Hoo! I cant believe I am finally here.
Im just another crazy Star Wars fan that became aware of these wonderful costuming groups, Rebel legion and the 501st.
I have been dropping in over the last 12 months or so to read the forums and try to get a handle on the lay of the land and the different identities.
I thought it was probably a good time to just put my hand up and say “ hi”. I know there have been some recent change in the RL in this country but it seems like it is entering a really exciting time. Even though we are no longer under the one banner, it is just a great feeling to think I may have brothers and sisters around the country with a similar love for this amazing juggernaut that is Star wars.
I have always been impressed by the work you all do and the changes you make in peoples ( especially children’s ) lives. I would love to be a part of it and join the RL.
I know that you have particularly high standards of costuming so for the past year or so have been working on an Obi Wan. I have done episode 3 as well as episode 2.
I think the episode 3 is more convincing but hope the episode 2 will also pass muster. Although a simpler look in a costuming sense, I think the EP2 is a more difficult look to get right and haven’t really seen too many attempted. I have tried to stay as accurate to the movies as possible (Sorry Fyr – traditional colours LOL ) but look forward to your feedback and suggestions on improvement and what I will need to do for approval.
I am still doing a few tweaks ( do we ever really stop tweaking ? ) but should be able to get a photo up soon. ( If I can work out photobucket thingy )
So thanks for listening guys, sorry if this is the longest intro ever : )
Im really glad to be here.
Kind regards,
Shay. _________________

Hi Master Skywalker, Hi Adam. Thank you so much for the welcome guys. Its a great feeling to finally be here.
Hey Adam how funny was that? I couldnt stop laughing
I'll take it as a compliment though, thanks again mate.
Now that I know it works, I will put up a couple of other photos if you are interested.
These are all of my EP3 Obi...
