Holy cow guys! There is a LOT of information to search through. I've got my little list started of things I need to research. I'm trying to be patient. While I have a lot of it on good days, I have very little on other days. Specifically when I get a bug up my booty like building an awesome Stormtrooper suit. :-)
Any direction you can add to the list below would be VERY welcome and MUCH appreciated!
Things to search:
1) SEARCH FOR SIZING ISSUES WITH A STANDARD SIZED SUIT: I'm short for a Stormtrooper. But pretty average for a girl. I'm 5'6 and weigh in at...oh yeah I'm gonna tell you...145. I race mountain bikes so I'm fit. Sadly being fit has done nothing for my boobs. So I don't have to worry about not "fitting" in a Stormtrooper chest piece. Trust me. The "girls" will fit just fine!
2) BUY A COMPLETED KIT OR START WITH A HELMET: Let me just say that given the opportunity, I will bite off WAY more than I can chew. It's just a fact of my life. I almost never give up and do finish what I started. But sometimes there is a major cost involved. I would really like that NOT to happen here. So I'm considering starting with a quality BUT cost effective (I ain't made of money!) helment kit. Only after I've 100% finished it am I allowed to purchase a suit kit. If I don't do this I'll run wild with scissors...as they say!
3) HOOK UP WITH SOME LOCAL NERDS: I know they're out there I've seen you at our little Comic Con. ;-)
Thanks
Jen
