New guy from Northern California

Hello my name is Justin and I am 29 years old. I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. I come to this board in hopes of finally building and having a costume. I have been talking about it for years and was pretty set on building a TK. But then I had a few concerns... Mainly being that I love working out and do plan on getting bigger than I am. So basically once I build it to my current size there is not much room for be to grow. But I then I started looking into Snow Troopers and love the look and I think it should work for me. At the moment I am 5'9 and 196 pounds. At some point I would love to get bigger (adding muscle). Right now I am looking around the forums and trying to get everything priced out and put together a list of everything I need. Then there is the long and hard part of saving some money to buy everything.

I hope that someday soon I can officially join the ranks and contribute to this board. For now be prepared for lots of dumb questions!

Thanks,
Justin

Thanks!



I know there is a search function but if anyone has any good info that can help me get started in my search that be great. Right now I am looking into all the "cloth gear" That is something I should be able to afford now and start to collect. I will have to wait a bit before I have enough to look into armor components.

Thanks man! So far so good. Just looking around the forums and slowly getting am idea of where to start until I can afford a set a armor. Good news is that I can wait. I have a lot to learn anyways. I am glad I decide to go this route instead of a TK. You guys look like you are a lot more free when you are moving around in costume. I am all about comfort. And like I said before. I love being in the gym and eating so at some point I may grow. I think I should have some freedom here....
