Hello everyone, My name is Darrin Moore I am 32 years of age and live in Kentucky with my Wife. I moved here from Richmond, VA (where I was born and raised) 6 years ago to a job prospect and desite all the rumors that Kentucky is a hick town have found out quite the contrary.
Anyways, I have long been a fan of star wars ever since My father and myself stood in the long line for tickets more than 20 years ago.
I had just about every toy and loved the other two movies even more, and swore Empire Strikes Back was and still imo is the best movie in existance (original cut).
Over the years I kinda fell out of the star wars scene and didnt really pay to much attention to it, when I seen something Star Wars I still thought it was pretty cool but still didnt have a drive to build a costume. That all changed when I heard the movies where rereleaseing I took it upon myself to make my first fett costume which was horrible but I had fun.
I also started to collect action figures and that is a real pain cause they make so many that look so good, and have a room with about 500 action figures, statues, etc. etc. pretty much anything I think is cool. I do not have any kids so it is still all unopened hehe.
That sparked my interest in all kinds of costumes. I have recently just finished my full plate custom armor from LOTR's. Needless to say it isnt fake and weighs some 45 pound. Quite heavy to treck around in.
Then a few months ago I was thinking about Boba Fett for some strange reason and my old costume and just decided to give it another shot. I dug my old helmet out and after reading alot about what kinda helmet was good I was surprised I had a 95 deluxe don post helmet. so I thought to myself this is probubly one of the hardest pieces to get, lol which I was so wrong.
But it gave me a good start and here I am today still trying to get this thing together so I can wear it to a big costume contest in my local mall on halloween, and then to the premiere of EpIII and beyond.
I also just bought a really awesome batman full mask with cowl, and it looks just like it was molded from the movie one for cheap i couldnt pass it up, so it looks like I will try and have my batman ready for the con next year so I can have 3 costumes to take.
