We're looking to schedule in one, maybe two, more Auckland Star Wars meet-up before Auckland Armageddon, to work on and finalise details for the 501st/Rebel Legion Armageddon convention stand, and to help out any costumers in need of last minute assistance.

Therefore, we'll be getting together in Birkenhead (PM for address) on Sunday 12th October, from 1pm.

As per usual, this will be a great opportunity to catch up and talk Star Wars costuming and collecting, show off any interesting recent collectible acquisitions, and/or to make a bit of progress on whatever costume or prop you might be working on at the moment.

As with our last session, I'll clear out the double garage, and we can use that space for cutting plastic etc on TK armour, X-wing helmet projects and such like.

Please RSVP here if you are keen to come along.

Cool! Put me down for one TK wannabe & one big box of plastic!

Also happy to lend my [limited] skills to any group builds. I am good at holding things up high :p

Sorry me and my bunny bracelet* needed to play catch up on sewing and paperwork. Sigh. On the other hand I now have a fabric to recommend for Mara Jade costumers :) Slaso potentially good for Clone undersuits- the stretch vinyl from MJ Trends is well worth the cost of shipping. I match the guest sofa. In a good way.....

Very stretchy and very easy to cut. Just time consuming working out hoe much stretch is too much or too little.



*Sorry, The IT Crowd gets me through a lot of costume prep.
