Hi everyone,
like many people, I've been lurking here for a few weeks checking out various projects etc, before taking the time to actually register.
I'm back in the UK now, after spending the last decade and a half in Virginia and South Carolina.
i was obsessed with Star Wars as a kid, watching it everyday after school for over a year, and ever since my first viewing, I've always wanted a stormtrooper costume. I tried a few times as a kid to make some, but with no guidance, and never enough boxes, it always ended with a disastrous pile of mush and destroyed boxes.
with life getting in the way, as it always does, those dreams and ideas get moved to the dark dank recesses of my mind, until recently when I stumbled upon this website.
Looking at other peoples projects has reignited the burning passion within me ( I'm sure there is a cream available over the counter for that ) and with no wife to nag me about little bits of paper / card stock laying all over the house, it's time to give it a go.
since I've never done any paper craft before, I thought I would start off with something a little easier than a Stormtrooper bucket and armor, so I'm open to any ideas or suggestions.
I suffer from degenerative disk disorder and chronic back/hip/leg pain, so while I have a lot of spare time to kill each day, my world tends to move at a snails pace.
i thought I might try fierfek's excellent Boba fett bucket, ( without the fiddly ear piece ) .. I'll post some pics as I mess it up .. Erm I mean as I go along
2woozy..
