Hey all...name is Chris, from Mesa, AZ.
Been doing costuming since Nov 2006. Got my start in Predator costuming/props, but there wasn't enough going on & I lost interest pretty quick.
Back in 2008/2009, a friend I had made in the Predator community directed me to the Star Wars costuming groups & I started working on a Custom Mandalorian. In 2010, I got official with the Mandalorian Mercs & started trooping with them & soon became an officer with the club. In December of 2010, I ordered & recieved a set of Star Wars Republic Commando armor & began putting it together. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago: my Republic Commando is complete (after alot of internal debate & additional work not originally planned) & I am now an official member with both the 501st & Rebel Legion.
The Star Wars groups will always be my home, but I (like most of my friends) am not a one trick pony & my geek ranges all over the various genres. I have several costumes on my "to do list" & they include a couple more Star Wars kits, anime & video game kits & various movie costumes. My current project is an Umbrella Corp Sergeant...
...this is also where my foray into the Stargate Universe comes in. Since I started on my costuming journey, I knew that I would eventually do a Stargate costume (always LOVED the movie & a HUGE SG-1 fan) & a couple years ago during a goodwill run, I scored a tactical vest & I knew my SG kit was on it's way.
Wow, I guess I rambled on a bit didn't I? Hope you won't hold that against me. I look forward to getting active with the group & hopefully getting a decent sized SG team here in the Dune Sea.
Thanx for taking the time to read my "bio"
