New girl in town

Greetings! Yeah, another chick moving in hehe :D

I knew about this site, but never really looked into it. Not until I finally got into planning creating a femme Mando. I was given the url to Mando Mercs, where I posted concepts. I've begun the process of getting my gear together, but finding certain information, pieces, advice, etc is getting a little scarce while doing it all at just Mando Mercs. So, after seeing TDH all over the place and suggested to check out the site here... Here I am :D

mini bio:

29, 2nd year college student majoring in Art, SW Junky, self taught artist. Darth Maul and Boba Fett my fav characters. Born and bred California girl.

Hey Sythe, Yay California Mandos! A buddy of mine just finished his armor and joined the Mando Mercs, and mine will be done in time for San Diego Comic Con. Hopefully we'll have a big mando turn out there this year. Think you'll be done? Take care!

Tyrian

Welcome LadySythe!

Welcome to the boards fellow artist!

G-Fett

Welcome to the family & good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome to you to ^_^

You had us at "Girl"...You had us at girl. :lol

California represent!:D

Holy cow! I never expected to get so many replies so quickly!! :suprise Thank you!!

@slave1pilot: UPPER NorCal, like Redding :D Fixed my Location there on the left ;)

@chibi fett: Yes that is the paint scheme (depending on the color of my vest though... my seamstress had a hard time finding purple that would match, so I'm making sure everything matches), and that's also the concept for my helm. Hope it turns out that way...

@Tyrian_Kell: Well, I'm just getting my helm, weapons, and soft goods together, and the armor is last (for the most part. Trying to see about femme armor from Rotton). I'm afraid you'll be seeing me in my Sith costume at SDCC 09... I'm working with a college student Work Study budget :o

Thank you all again for the warm and enthusiastic welcome!!

Any reason you arent attempting a Boba costume? You shouldnt let being a girl stop ya ;)

Oh, I always wanted to make a BF costume...but as I got older the more I began to notice The Cloned Costume Effect. Everyone was an Kenobi Jedi, or a Stormtrooper, or an Imperial, or Vader, Maul, etc. There are TOO MANY of them out there. Also, I've always liked creating new and original characters and designing them. This is probabl a major reason why I prefer original and one of a kind costumes that no one has ever seen before - my current WIP Sith costume being one of those :D Sure I'll take a few ideas from other costumes here and there but in the end, what I create is original. That's what I like and I love to share. Besides, I think BF costuming should remain in the men's domain considering Boba is male ;)


@Bubba Fett - maybe I'll see ya around up here some time lol My sister's fiance has family in the Bay... Shasta County does have some beautiful sights...but...eh.. it really does bite if you live here. Born here, lived 95% of my life here. All that's changed is the stores, SoCal peps bringing their money, bad attitudes and reckless driving habits, and a lot of modernization. There's 3 theaters, one Mall that was renovated and upgraded about 5 years ago, and despite the beauty of mother nature...it's boring *shrugs* MUCH more so than when I was living in Rotterdam, Netherlands :b

YES! A chick!


Errr...uhh...I meen....I respect you as a person, and a human being. (I was told to say that...)

:lol :b ;) But seriously, welcome. :)

Welcome , glad to see over here tooo .

Suppose I can see that. I prefer the kids to know who I am when I troop. Rather then them asking me why I'm a weird looking Jango or Boba anyway :lol:lol To each their own! I prefer costuming stuff that was in universe/canon

and I think you've hurt the couple of female boba's/Jangos/Bossk here's feelings. :cry Boba's daughter wore his armor once didnt she? :P

*waves* A fellow Merc, Hiram? :D

Well, there had been a few rumors that BF was a woman lol but that was before AOTC came out... And as for Boba's armor and his daughter...I have no clue...:?

Hi and welcome!

I think custom mando's are awesome. Nice to see some variety in the mando costumes. I may look into a custom down the road after my Jango is done (and by done I mean all the upgrades that I want to do :))

welcome

I cant believe it took me this long to welcome you, WELCOME ABORD!!!
You guard UPPER NorCal, and I'll Guard Lower SoCal ;) I'll try to stop them from driving up there and bringing all that darn road rage :lol (I learned to drive in Hawaii, a lot more mellow if you ask me:b)
Also, I know you will be able to make your bucket look like your concept (avatar).
If I can do it, you can do it.
Any WIP Pics of your sith?

My bucket arrived *looks at clock* yesterday... it's gonna be a pain! You'll see in the second link below. It's the first time I'm doing this...I hope to Force I don't screw up :(

Ah, my Sith... here you go: btw, don't worry... guests can see what normal members see ;)

Chicken! :D I'm doing a custom Mando AND a Sith costume all on a college student work study budget and I've already dropped over $1000 both together... You can do it if I can ;)

Welcome to the TDH Family!
I like your Conceptual Mando...and the color scheme (for a girl;):rolleyes:lol)
I know you will love this place, their are alot of good talented people here.
...and the resources are unlimited!

Welcome, LS! Always good to see another lady joining the fun. We've got to keep the boys on their toes, after all. :D

Mini updates... See attachment for Mando update. I forgot to add my swords... when I took the photos. And for my Sith costume... I need up upload my photos to comp.

As for the Mask: blpettyaz@yahoo.com
I found the guy here: http://www.therevanchist.com/costume...th_nihilus.htm

As for my Mando, I've had to put it on hold. I lost my financial aid and with it my Work Study job which was paying for it... Ugh. Hopefully I'll have my Sith done before SDCC comes around (and have plane tickets paid for and $$ for food and goodies) Darth Real Life is going after me good this round :doh

QUIT STALKING ME!!! LOL!

Good luck with your custom Mando! I saw the concept artwork for it a while back and was wondering when you were going to get it started. Looks like you did!! Congrats!

Hope to see ya at SDCC!!

If you love Rotterdam, the cesspool of Europe.. I hope for your own sanity's sake and for the love of architecture's sake that you got out of Rdam and saw the culture elsewhere.

Jen!!! Wow, fancy finding you here too!! :hug I was hoping to have the costume done before July...but it ain't happening. There are just too many pieces needed to finish it compared to the Sith costume...(which only needs like...cloak, pants, sleeveless shirt, modify boots, cowl and buy means of attaching mask to cowl) :cry

SDCC! BRING IT ON! :D

I've seen nearly all of the US, I've been to London, England and Koln (Cologne) Germany. As of today, I never want to go back to Holland. Personal reasons. But I'd love to see more of the world... I didn't love Rotterdam but it certainly beat Amsterdam. The Force was just not right in that place :wacko

Hey L.S., Hello from snow covered New York State!!

I've only been here for a few months, but everyone is extremely helpful. The knowledge they have, it's worth reading threads until your eyes bug out!
