Hello there, from Fayetteville

My name is Ty and I'm from Fayetteville, West Virginia. I've come to a point where I think I'll be stationary enough to where I can do something with my free time that's worthwhile with my life. I work as a bank teller and I want to do something more with my love of Star Wars. I have a degree in theatre and have some minimal experience in the costuming. In 2009, I was Boba Fett at Tsubasacon but that was a cute cheap job. I would love to develop a Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader costume since to me it was the moment I saw Vader become a fully developed character when you hear Anakin's heartbeat stop, a moment passes, and Vader's heart begins beating and that's when the two trilogies connected for me and I want to share my love of this character with everyone.

I'm getting my finances straightened out so I can plan each purchase without hurting my bills and savings so it might be a while, but I am very excited to hopefully become a member of this organization that I've heard so much about. I'm looking forward to talking and communicating with everyone here and hopefully I can help share some Star Wars love here in the Appalachian mountains! Thank you!

Hello Jay/Trooper1! Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm 5'10" so the lifts in the RotS boots might add 1-2 inches on me. I've got a little money saved up and still continuing to do so, but I am currently gathering links to places for everything if you have any suggestions or preferences that are appropriate.

Matt has been fantastic and a great help! So has everyone I've been talking to! I've done some research already and posted some of what I've found over on my build thread.
