Don this guy up here ^ is probably one of the best go to guys you could ever have.

Welcome aboard brother, so looking forward to our first troop together

There's a guy from the Peg that looks like he's also starting a build soon. Xenomerch on here, just posted in the welcome section today.

Hey Don, welcome aboard. You've picked a great costume for someone who lives in Winterpeg I'm over in SK, Moose Jaw specifically. I look forward to hopefully trooping with you in the future.

My recommendation though is once you have a...

Welcome Jack. You'll certainly be able to find most of the information you'll need for building your snowy here on our boards. I don't want to discourage you but you've kind of given yourself a difficult time frame for getting a costume done, unless you already have an armour kit in hand. As I said ...

Welcome aboard Iane. Great costume choice, the GM is such a great looking kit. Looking forward to doing one myself...someday.
