Don't want to burst your bubble, but the ANH nose is gunmetal, and not silver.

Funky tattoos on your arm in that picture buddy.
How many costume projects are you working on all at the same time anyways?
I can't believe it.
You are possessed!

That is your best idea IMHO.
Anything that few people are doing or even stuff that noone has done before is right up my alley.
Looks like I'm the second gunner in the Garrision.
Fits,
Just finally today received my flightsuit back from Aly.
I have to try it on tonight.
I'll see,
Scott

I wish I had you around here to jack up my kids back when they were skipping school!
Looks good, you should have lots of fun with Vader.
