another new guy from Southern CA

Hey guys,

I'm new and joined up because I've begun work on my custom mando suit.

But a little about me first. I'm from Orange County (La Habra/Fullerton) but also live in Glendale. I currently go to Fuller Theological Seminary where I'm studying to become a pastor (pursuing my masters right now). As a SW fan pretty much all my life, I don't know why I never did much in the way of costuming, but I have a nice set of Jedi robes and am just now starting to do the mando. I hope to one day have Jedi (x), Mando (in progress), Rebel Pilot, Clone Trooper Phase II, Imperial Officer and maybe Stormtrooper costumes... but we'll see.

As it is right now, I purchased the armor pieces from another fan. Its a red and black schemed Mando so I decided it'll be a sniper.

Here's a pic of the helmet (talking to BM for a T-Visor)

Anyways, here's what I have so far:


  • Armor which includes helmet, chest, shoulders, groin, thigh, knees, ankles
  • A black jumpsuit (got from military surplus store)
  • Boots
  • Belt
  • a Couple of pouches
  • Cloth/Leather for Vest
What I still need to work on is

  • The Vest
  • Painting remaining armor pieces (some aren't finished)
  • T-Visor
  • Jet Pack (want it smaller similar to Commander Cody)
  • Gauntlets (custom... not sure how I'll do these as I can't cast it...)
  • Sniper Rifle (probably made from wood/pvc)
  • Pistols (same)
  • Kama (made from vest material)
So that's the plan right now... I'll post pics as I can in the other sections (after I get to intermediate or full member status)

Also, if you trade hasbro action figures or other stuff, look me up at rebelscum.com or PM me here! I won't be incredibly active... just as my studies and stuff permits

See ya on the boards

thanks! I will be ordering my T-visor from bm soon... hopefully will get more pics up sometime. Anyone around have any extra gauntlets?
