[Burns]

Hi! Many thanks for all the help and great advice posted in this forum!
My name is Mike Phillips
i work as a guitar teacher
i've been costuming for many years, but this year i started (and completed) my first pepakura project.
i usually make star wars related costumes, but i finally made a master chief.
i won every contest i was in this year, but lesson learned on only applying materials as they are needed, and not over re-enforcing. my armor weighed a little over 150lbs lol
looking forward to next halloween. i have a whole crew standing by for me to deck them out in star wars attire.
so far, the projects i've started for next year include:
Darth vader (with fully detailed and separating helmet/latex scars
both fetts
darth revan
mace windu
aayla secura (latex lekku)
stormy, snow and scout troopers
2 imperial guards
you can follow my progress on facebook. my email is thecircleoffifths@yahoo.com
looking forward to sharing the experience and thanks again for the great resources!
