Hello from the UK

[deogeo]

Hey there peeps, just thought I'd introduce myself on these forums and picked costuming to post it in as its what I do and why I'm here so I can post pictures as well.
My name's Dave, I'm 22 and from England. I've been costuming with the 501st UK Garrison for over a year now and I've got the bug. I'm currently working on two new costumes, an Anakin Skywalker Clone Wars one (that's still on the drawing boards right now) and I'm also getting well on with my favourite EU character, Cade Skywalker, which is my main reason for coming to the tcss, to build an accurate version of his lightsaber.
Anyhow here's some pics of my costume right now, Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader from ROTS.


A picture from when I first joined the UKG, got more accurat boots since then.

Me and m'lady


This is my CW tatoo Anakin, I did about 3 events in this, including CE but I then decided that the mechanical arm was a very important part of the costume and therefore said I'd never do it again until I made one, or lost an arm...

Sweet! I like the tattooed version of Anakin. You might as well cut an arm off so you can do that costume again. I'm sure someone can make you a mechanical arm for ya...

[Argillian]

i like the tattoo version too i've always wanted a mechanical limb.

Like the costumes, think I may have seen you at CE.
You may get burned for posting your welcome here though.........
Let me be the first to introduce you to UKJ-08, Under misc topics, a load of us UK members are meeting up for a saber dueling fest, interested? PM me or post in the shindig.
Definetly like the clone wars one!

Hi and Welcome, for another UK'er

[Wolverine]

Welcome aboard Fellow 501st brother!

Great to see more here from the UK

[Drichar Deis]

Aha! There you are! With my apprentice

[deogeo]

LOL!!! That ain't me dude, that's my very good friend Flo from German Garrison, we met on the SOTS forum and then in person at CE. He's a top guy. When we were putting our pictures on SOTS, us ourselves had to make double takes, its a really easy mistake to make.

[Drichar Deis]

D@mn! you two could be twins!

[Barmic Rin]

I think I saw you there. Were you wearing the singed gear to go with the matching Obiwan on the sat?

BTW: Welcome dude!

If you can provide any pics of Cade's saber, i'd be grateful. Looking to do one to go with my Imp.Knight & Legacy Sith sabers, but only see thebasic pics in the comics. Has Ms. Duursema released better shots?
