Doin' it Right

[Mando_TagAlong]

...Something I never do. So, guess I should go through the official channels here....

Yo. I'm Karin (Caer on Mando Mercs), and I'm a Vhonte/custom Femmando (the difference is whenever my shoulder armor decides to stay on). I trooped with you lot at Wizard World and had a ball. Totally looking forwards to hanging out with you guys 'till you get sick of me.

I am doing a cannon character, and it's currently under construction, but it might take up to and over a year (yikes!) 'till it's ready 'cause it needs custom head-tails, and I've never done anything like that before.

Mostly though, I'm going to be in Femmando gear. Either my already-completed (though now under repair) red gear, or a new custom in the sketching/development stage right now. Being a boobtrooper is fun.

Hi Karin,
I thought that your ponytails were part of the costume when I first saw you at the WW Con. Then when we were talking in front of the booth I realized they were real.
Not too many ladies out there sporting long hair. I think it adds a cool dimension to your costume.
Now, I'm new too so I don't know. Can you troop with MWG with a non canon, not official costume or will the costume police send the shadow troopers after you? Perhaps this could be explained by someone in the know.

ultimately, it depends on the event. some events are canon costumes only, most are pretty open.

Karin,

Welcom aboard Trooper! great to have you come on the boards. curious to know though, what character are you creating that might take you well over a year? there are a number of troopers that might be able to help you reduce that time frame.

Let us know, we are all a helpful bunch!

otherwise, I hope we can troop again soon. and i don't think you can make anyone 'sick' of you

You have many troopers that can help you out and set up a armor party for you. Just let us know what you need.

Awesome, thanks guys!

Yo River! Actually, you might think this was funny. First I was like "I want a cannon character, but I don't really wanna be one of a million Leias or whatever, and I HATE hair dye", then I was thinking about characters who matched my personality, and compared facial features. Slightly snubbed nose, jutting chin, blue eyes....

Let's see, excitable, bratty side kick? Yeah. I'm doing an Ahsoka build. I was going to keep it under wraps until I had a big part done, but given that the most distinguishing trait is the part that I have NO experience with making, and I want to do something cleaner looking than what I've seen on non-Disney costumes, I'd better fess up and beg for tips.

Plus, you and the Anakins were so awesome I wanted an excuse to hang out.

Believe it or not, she was the first place I asked. She doesn't do customs. Just Lekku.

right, I thought that was what you were looking for..

Nope, I wish. Perhaps in the future. Right now I'm doing a Togruta. Montrals and three head tails in one piece.
