having just read about the fiasco regarding the julia jade thread has left me somehwhat jaded.in matter of fact i have lost my thread!?!.i didnt realise that 'newbies' to such communities were scrutinized to such a level its like breaking into a Imperial bunker on a forest moon....
for the record im a film lover akin to most of you i wager in any sabacc game and it doesnt stop at Star Wars.only recently have i got inot the prop and costume side of the fandom.being based in the uk its is more difficult to get hold of items and clothing hence im here talking to you guys.in matter of fact your' my only hope' .so if you want to grill me and get to the sauce of my identiy' bring em on i prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around'...
any feed back (and to previous posts) would be greatful cause i am but the learner .come on guys tellme howit is onhere!!!!

We know what props you have...

We know what you had for lunch yesterday...

We know the name of your significant other's sister's best friend's uncle's dog...

We are the all-seeing eye...

We are...

My advice is to just give it time and get to know people here. New members tend to jump right in and sometimes try too hard. Most people build trust over time, so just don't expect too much too soon from members. And please don't ask about where to buy ABS sunblock...:)

Just my 2 cents worth & welcome aboard....

Welcome to the board.It's not that we scrutinize newbies here to scare them away.It's just what with all that has gone on recently with Lucasfilm's legal department we're wary now of newcomers.A lot of newbies introduce themselves and in the same thread ask where they can buy stormtrooper armor.Not exactly the way to get started here.
With JJ,it's a little different.Being a uber hot chick sets off flags immediately.Not that there aren't good looking women here,there are,but we know them and that they are real.Some people get their kicks by pretending to be some hottie just to stir the pot,especially in a male dominated forum such as this.Most of us know that and are really cautious about someone who posts a picture of themselves,a "posed" picture no less,and starts asking about props without telling/showing us their collection.
Again,welcome to the board.Give it some time and you'll be one of us in no time:)
Take care,
TAE

Welcome Apt. Pupil!!!

Do not let what happened with JulieJade make you hesitant in any way whatsoever. From one current newbie to another, just be yourself, and very honest, and truly appreciate what these people create, assist with, and present. I have seen such wonders here that I thought I would have to travel to a convention before to see...not anymore..this place is incredible. Definitely take into consideration what Yodaman said about asking about certain things, because things have been shaky recently due to certain circumastances. Trust is a biggie around here, but it is worth earning around here, becuase there is a such a diverse group here with many talents, that should never be taken for granted. I have never been so excited to see projects progress or see a new prop or costume...kid in candy store syndrome:) I hope this has helped to open the door a little for you. Enjoy your stay, and welcome to the forum!!!

cool Vos

[Quinlon Vos]

I have one made by Katarra Kreations.

Here is a link to a couple of pics:
albums.photopoint.com/j/A...870690&f=0 (http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=953452&a=11870690&f=0)

It is too small for me, but will be going on a mannequin once I get the boots made anyway.
I also have their Luke Bespin belt, which is pretty good for the money, but there are better ones out there.
