wow.
Just wow.
This is the coolest response I've received from a new list EVER! Thank you all so much for welcoming me!
Now then, I'll stop gushing and hit the important stuff:
Jedi-Bob - I agree. there's so much freakin' talent here that I can't _help_ but learn a million cool things. I'm in the right place.
Fettcicle - this line: "Just never try that method with the cod piece" had me absolutely cracking up. Good advice, thanks! 
Lisafett - I spent about a million hours on your "how to" pages today, so pretty much any recommendation you have is gold in my book. Um, speaking of "gold", is it out of line for me, as the new guy, to say you make a hot Slave Leia? ...sorry.
wanabe a fett - Thanks for the sintra help. This stuff really seems a godsend for armor. I can't believe I'd never heard of it until I came to this board!
MegalomaniacalMandalore(*whew*) - Your post just really made me happy. I'm a Mod on a few different costuming boards, and sometimes I just want to burn them down and shoot the remaining survivors. Okay, that was a bit extreme, but you know what I mean. Thanks for the warm welcome and the velcro tips!
Bountys Hunted - Let's say a "variation" for now, because I have no idea if I can pull it off to the detail you all have, so I'm going for a variation on the theme the first time around. Then I can't be as disappointed when it looks nothing like yours 
fpoato - GREAT advice! It's funny, I was literally just thinking "but how do I do the back?" You read my mind, thank you!
Again, just, thanks everyone. I hope one day I can make a contribution as well, and please, feel free to keep throwing advice on this thread if you haven't already, I can use all the help I can get!
Thanks,
-Jack
