Greetings Folks,
I wouldn't say I am new to the world of costuming. My friends and I have been dressing up for movies since we were in high school. Our first big outing was X-men 3. The years that followed were great. We took every opportunity to dress up for movies just because it was so much fun. Mind you our costumes mainly consisted of things we could find at Goodwill and spray paint if needed. Then the Dark Knight came, and my buddy shows up in a custom made Joker suit with the face paint and hair dye and everything. That launched a new age of costumes for us. Still as low income college kids, we didn't use it much. But the big one was Avengers. 5 of us dressed up in what we could call some of our best yet. Thor, Cap, Hulk, Widow, and we even pulled a Miss Marvel (Flounders girlfriend didn't want to be Hawkeye...), and we had some good costumes. Then we found this stuff. And decided that we could set down the video games a few times a week and actually accomplish something worth while. Thus our birth into the real world of costuming, and my registration here, where I have lurked for a few months researching what will be my first project, a foam Warmachine suit to compliment my buddy's Ironman (the Joker buddy), cause really what's a Ironman without a Warmachine anyway.
So after the long winded hello, here is the short version. Greetings Folks, I look forward to learning from you and making this world a little more awesome. Thanks for everything you have already taught me, and everything I still have to learn.
