Our esteemed leader has asked that all of us Council members check into our threads and post what's new..
lol...
you asked for it...
;D
At any rate...
The Jedi Assembly was my very first costume group...my very first post to a forum and Jedi costumes are still my first love.
Where I have gone on to do a lot of other costumes and take on a lot of duties and join a lot of groups...I still consider The Jedi Assembly as home.
Cut backs in our economy and my job have severly limited my ability to go to Cons outside of the immediate Chicago area and I will likely not be at either CV nor Dragon Con this year...
but...as you will see from my mission report at the end of these photos....I have been around..
and have done a LOT of events...
As noted....I have gone on to join other groups..
In addition to being a Council member of TJA I am also a member of:
The 501st
The Rebel Legion
The R2 Builders - my full size R2 is shown in a photo below...
Positions I hold:
For the 501st:501st Charity Rep - Midwest Garrison
For the Rebel Legion:Base Recruitment Officer - Nar Shaddaa Base
Legion Costume Judge - Troopers
Commanding Officer - RAID (Rebel Alliance Infantry Detachment)
These are the costumes I have made....and wear...
1 - Natural Osnaburg Jedi:
2: Dyed brown osnaburg
3: Tan Wool Crepe Jedi
4: Dk Brown crinkle gauze Jedi
5: Rebel Fleet Trooper:
6: Yavin Tech Tan
7: Yavin Tech Gray
8: Stormtrooper
9: Imperial Officer
10: Imperial Secretary....lol..
11: Hoth Trench Trooper
12: Hoth Hangar Trooper
13: Hoth Tech
14: Endor Commando
15: X-Wing Pilot
16: Smuggler
17: My latest Jedi
I have done LOTS of missions...
here is my Mission list (that I am sure I am missing events) that I have done since making my first Jedi costume...I started my first costume in 1999 - but didn't get serious about it till I joined TJA in 2002
