I'm Matt from Wabash and just trying to get started with the 501st and NDG. I'm a pastor and tattoo studio owner (normal combination - right?).

I was born in the 70s so of course I want to spend my adult life building and going around dressed as a TK, a Red Guard, a Gamorrean Guard, a wookie - okay - pretty much anything. Currently I'm trying to get my Red Guard costume done so I can be official while I languish on an armor waiting list. As soon as I'm done with the Red Guard I'm going to get started on a Black Krrsantan wookie bounty hunter costume from the new Darth Vader comics.

I turned in an event request for later in November that I hope to see some of you at as my studio is part of an event where we have gone with the theme "Christmas on Hoth." Hopefully my Red Guard costume will be ready and some of you will be able to attend.

Welcome! Have you signed up over at forcepike.net yet? That's the detachment forum for the Royal Guards. They are the experts on those costumes.
