Newbie hoping to become an imperial gunner

Post by Smuah Gunnery »

Hello from Hoffman Estates!

Hoping to become an imperial officer/Death Star Gunner.

I look forward to doing the research for the costume and hope to receive a little assistance along the way!

Hi, everyone, I'm smuah's wife, Sandra. We have a son who's definitely growing up to be a Sith Lord and will be enrolling in the Galactic Academy. I'm interested in being a Jawa, but I have no experience in costuming and will need a lot of help. Looking forward to attending more events with the 501st.

Sandra, there's plenty of help if you have ???s with your build as several of us have built a Jawa. Should be able to find some patterns and ideas on the Krayt Clan Detachment forums. I cut my teeth with sewing on a Jawa for my son. Oh, and welcome to you too

Welcome. I'm in Dundee, not too far from Hoffman. I made a jawa for my son. It's super easy and rather inexpensive.

I found everything I needed on the Krayt Clan.

Ask questions. We're here to help!

Great meeting the Garrison at the Bartlett 4th of July Parade this past weekend. Great group and my family and can't wait to become part of it.

Welcome to the garrison. I have yet to see a gunner on a troop. I'd like to see one of those helmets up close.

LOL, thanks Eugene. Like our costumes, there's always something I'm doing in there.

My Jawa costume was officially approved today, so DZ-10428 is reporting for duty!
