Hey there!

Hey guys!

I just registered with the site today, though I've been lurking for several weeks, and hoping to do this for years. I can remember being nine or ten years old and trying to convince my dad to drop several hundred dollars building a Fett costume. Needless to say, that plan didn't work out for me, and eventually, the idea fell away from me.

A few months ago, I decided that my health and wellness were out of control, so I began making efforts to get back into shape, and as a long term goal, my wife resurrected my childhood dream of "being" a Mandalorian. By that, I mean, if I hit my "goal weight", I'm going to start going about building my own Mando outfit. And in the mean time, I plan to continue lurking the forums, posting when the mood strikes me, and trying to figure out as much of this DIY stuff as I can.

When I'm not thinking about Mandalorians, I'm a 26 year old father of 2 and husband, living a little way outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I am also an internationally published author of a dozen short stories in the horror and fantasy genres, and I'm currently finishing my first novel- I'm hopeful that it does me well, but we'll see.

I'm not sure what else to talk about, but if anyone else has any questions, let me know :)
 
Welcome friend. I think you'll find that this community will be supportive and helpful in just about every way. You've come to the right place.
 
Welcome! That's a great goal, I hope it keeps you motivated. When I was 12, I made a costume, and decided last year to do it again but with a bit better methods, materials and budget.
 
Congrats on recognizing your goal and good luck with your build. Everything you need to know is buried in these pages.....
