It's like the curse that is the cure.


Chaos--no costume is complete without it

The first casualty of costuming: my kitchen table.


The Rebel Legion
If you have any kind of Rebel costume, join!! Or feel free to browse the message boards.

Ra Kura Base
My home base in the Rebel Legion, we used to just be called Florida Base for obvious reasons. We were the first base in the Legion to get an entire fighter squadron, the Warhawks.

The 501st Legion
This is the site for Imperial costumers. They also have a message board available. The Florida Garrison's site is here.

Richie's Armor (soon to be Dark Side Productions)
The source of my helmet and chestbox. They do outstanding work.

Obi-Wan's Jedi Academy
Costuming tips on various Star Wars costumes, as well as basic tips and how to get started.

What I Have Learned from Costuming
(Look! It's educational!)

1. Dremel tools are really cool.
2. Airbrushes are fun, except the hose and propellant cans can get really annoying at times.
3. Rivet guns are cool, except when they get ornery.
4. Epoxy for plastic smells really, really nasty.
5. You miss the kitchen table when you can no longer use it for little things like eating.
6. Hand-sewing when you can't see where the needle is going to come through is a bad idea.
7. Even if you don't factor in procrastination, each project will take at least three times as long as you originally thought it would.
8. There's always more to do.
9. Having access to a bathroom scale is a prerequisite for doing iron-on transfers.
10. A sewing machine makes everything easier.
11. Never sew sticky-backed velcro.
12. For dealing with frayed edges, nothing beats good old-fashioned fire.
13. At least in my case, the worst critic and the hardest person to please with my finished products is myself.
