Hi all,
My name is Mark and I live in Gympie Qld.
I have thought and talked about getting involved with the 501st
for a number of years among my family and friends but have never seemed to get around to it till now. I have been a long standing Star wars fan for many years in fact I would say I grew up on it, no doubt the same as many of you would have. I still remember my first little die cast xwing that blew apart when you pushed a button on the back of it, that my dad brought home.
So I attended gold coast supernova last weekend and saw the amazing fun you all have and the great work all of you carry out, and decided there that I would stop talking about it and just do it.
Goldcoast supanova was the first time I have attended a pop culture convention, the first time I have dressed in costume and was the first costume I have ever made and I had a ball, I was made to feel welcome.
I have been involved in other charity groups for sometime and they do great work but you all have that something special, and I want to be involved.
I have thought about what I would like to be and think I would want to be a sand trooper, but I would propose the question of where to start with my costume, I have down loaded the info on it and would love some guidance of what steps to follow, also info on how to start being involved while I embark on my build.
I would appreciate any thoughts on this or assistance any one could offer.
Cheers
Mark
