Hi folks!

I live in Muncie. I've been a long time Star Wars fan since I saw the orginal film back in '77 when I was 11. I did an Imperial Officer's uniform back in the '90's for a costume contest, but never really went beyond that. I spent time on my career, got married, had a daughter, and every other thing called life. Well, finally watched the OT with my daughter (I made sure she saw it BEFORE she saw the Prequels) and when she saw it, she was enthralled. She wants to be Darth Vader for Halloween and I took it as an excuse to dust off the old jack boots and get back in costume! Well, after a bit of research, I find my old unform just doesn't cut it anymore. It was good at the time, but I know more about them now.

So I'm doing a new officer's unform, and I may even finally get around to making the X-wing Pilot's costume I've dreamt about since I was a kid!

I look forward to doing some stuff with you guys!

Do the X-wing pilot first. Totally unbiased opinion ;)

No, you don't know the power of the Darkside! The Imperial officer costume is what you want to complete first.:D

Ditto and Ditto! Though the X-Wing pilots do have a better hit to miss ratio compared to our Imperial pilots :confused:....

Welcome aboard and be sure to check out the Imperial Officer Corp (http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?sid=aa7b0afeed33bc4ea7162325b39d93ff)

Thamnks for the welcome!

I'll definitely do the the Imperial Officer uniform first, as I have a bunch the stuff already... belt, boots, greeblie.... etc. Besides my 8 year old daughter wants to be Darth Vader for halloween, so it's a natural fit. :)

And yeah, I'm already hooked up with the IOC. In fact, they like my replica code cylinders so much I've taken to making and selling them there.
