Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hello all,
D-1AH here .. Also known as Tom Schaefer TK-118 of the Midwest Garrison.
I have been a LIFE LONG SW fan and a member of the 501st since 01.
I have a Sandtrooper, Stormtrooper, Tusken, Royal Guard, Tie Pilot and Imperial Crew costumes.
I was on the team "Vader's Foot at the Trooper Olympics both at C3 and C4 and both times we got the silver.
I had wanted to do a 3PO for a very long time, and I have finaly done it!
Sadly, Mine isnt as pretty at Chris's or the other fellow from Cali, But I like mine.
I still have much work to do on it, But I was able to get it close enogh to be able to wear it on the 14th of June for the FIRST TIME for a special VIP party at the Science and Industry Museum in Chicago, And I hope to have it much better before the "Star Wars - Where Science meet Imagination" exhibit opens there in Oct.
So here is my first pics (please be kind, I know I have work to do to it yet.
Side note, The pelvis is a temorary Vac formed one i can use untill I get my Urathane one, The shoes are those rubber ones (THEY ARE SOOOOOO comfortable!) I know they are not 100% accurate, but I like em!
My calfs I had to make about a inch wider at the top to let my big fat legs fit them!
I used that Plasti-kote BRILLIANT metalic paint from the UK on my suit.
THANKS TO CHRIS FOR ALL HIS HELP AND GUIDENCE!

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hi, everybody! I've been here a while, but since the forum has be "rebooted"(looks great, by the way, Chris, love the new look!) I figured I'd introduce myself. My name is Bill, I live in South Carolina. Currently, I'm a starving artist / mad scientist / jack of all trades.  I've been obsessed with robots ever since I can remember. I built an Artoo years ago, he's currently going through a major refit/upgrade. I've got a Threepio I've nearly finished, I'm building the arms from scratch. I've got a few projects I've scratchbuilt, including a life size sculpt of Alice Krige as the Borg Queen from Star Trek. I won a Bronze at Wonderfest and Tom Savinni said he liked it! I'm currently scratchbuilding a replica of V.I.N.CENT., the little robot from the Black Hole. He's been the most difficult robot I've tackled so far because no parts or blueprints were available, so I wound up taking measurements off photos using a few known measurements for scale. Some guys at the RPF gave me some some helpful advice, and one guy, Stonky, helped me a great deal with some shots of a CG V.I.N.CENT. he had been worked on. Here's a few shots of me and some of my work.

My Borg Queen:
  
Threepio in progress:
V.I.N.CENT. so far...
I've really been blown away by the talent I've seen on this board, it's great to see all these people with the same interests. I envy those of you lucky enough to be able to fit into a Threepio suit!
Bill

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hey everyone my name is MArshall Peterson, but a lot of people know me as TK-Bear. I have Trooper Armor, a Scout, 1 finished and one in progress R2, as well as my EPII 3PO. I have been a droid builder for 7+ years and a 501st member for 5+
Below is a pic of me in my 3PO along with my R2 at DC last year.
I recently had a kidney transplant though which caused me to miss out on C4 as well as half of DC last year, but I am healther than I have been in years and look forward to costuming it up as EPII 3PO a bunch this year. I hope to see some of you all at DC this year!
BTW I am working on an EPII 3PO tutorial which will be located here. It just has pics right now but It is a work in progress.

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hi, I am Tim from good old Massachusetts. I am part of the NEG as well currently have just a TK costume (TK3435) and building a snow trooper costume as well.
I am in the process of purchasing a C3PO kit from a friend within the Garrison (Chris you might know John B.). So I am probably going to have a lot of question when I get going and I am looking forward making this happen.

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hi. Name is Michael. AKA Gypsyboy (but somebody already had that name so I decided to go with my gmail ID). I live in New Brunswick, Canada. I'm a grad student in archaeology, and I have a family. I'm also one of the rare people who is not making a threepio for trooping in, but rather just for my own enjoyment of the challenge, and to have something to display when done. Actually, I intend to build a collection of all the major SW "helmets". Have done Vader, and am working on Boba and a Red Guard now - along with my 3P0 head. Got a bunch of others on the back burners too.
There is a lot of great work on this site, and I'm blown away by just about every picture I see of a member in his (or her?) 3P0 suit. Nice to see the tutorials as well. I'm not a 3P0 guru (yet) like many of you, but maybe when I get further into my project I may be able to offer a construction tutorial of my own.
I don't post pics of myself, so instead I will post some pics of my work -
In progress Fett
Full size and 45% scale Vader armour
Almost complete ANH Vader lid
Vader shins - ready for molding
Vader chestbox
Belt boxes
ESB Vader
And one more .... my almost ready to mold 90% scale Vader RotJ
If this is too many pics please let me know and I will edit my post. I don't mean to clog up the boards, I just want to give a sense of what I enjoy doing. I know I will learn a lot from this group. I'm glad DB73 tipped me off to the site!!
