New guy checking in from the UK

[Siygess]

Hey all - been browsing TDH for a month or two - ever since I picked up a Hasbro Clone Trooper helmet to modify, in fact, but I decided to wait until I had something to show before I posted here. I'm from a LARP and Airsoft background and naturally I'm a huge Star Wars fan so I'm not exactly in unfamiliar territory!

Anyway I'm making good progress on my son's trashcan armour (pictures here) which is turning out to be a gentle introduction to working with plastics and sewing.. then when that's done I'm planning on modifying the Clone helmet to get some all-important bondo experience. Then when that's done I'll be having a go at Skip's Republic Commando templates to see what I can do with them

Hi there Siygess. Welcome to TDH! From another UK member.


Look forward to costuem progress. Have you joined any clubs in the UK?

 

[Boba Leo]

Hi Siygess, Welcome & good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Siygess]

Thanks guys, and no I haven't joined any clubs in the UK, although the only one I'm aware of is the Mandalorian Mercs (I guess they have a UK chapter) but I guess there are plenty of others. If my son's armour turns out alright then I'll probably make myself a set too, even though I'm more of an RC at heart

Hey - yep we do have a UK chapter in the Mercs
Don't forget Galactic Knights and KOTE Mando's as well, all great UK clubs

 

[Siygess]

Thanks for that, Synn!

Unfortunately I'm in the Netherlands for a week on a course, but I'm looking forward to picking up where I left off once I return to the UK. Though I'm happy with the progress so far:

Welcome to TDH. There's no doubt that you'll find it a very useful place to be.
