Wow Sir Wolf, you have already finished the cretaceous period Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velocoraptor, and Sabertooth Tiger kits!!!
And you finished the neanderthal and neolithic eras too?
So now we're moving on to the only not-represented era, the future!!!!  ;D
That's great though. I think you should wear it to renn fair. lol

Good Sir Wolf,

From viewing photographs on this and other forums, I believe you must have the most serious case of "Reenactor ADD" known to science. ;)  The thing I find amazing is that each period is done so well.  You really have set the bar way too high for the rest of us.  I have a hard enough time keeping up with just the 1350's!

I suppose you've already visited these, but in case you haven't there's quite a bit of useful stuff here.  I used similar sites to construct the Boba and Jango Fett armor my kids wore the last two Halloweens.

Wow, awesome. Are you going to do any work with the 501st Legion? I've met a few of those guys from the local chapter here. Seem to be really nice and willing to help new members assemble a kit. I thought about joining and working on a Snow Trooper kit, but I have more than enough on my plate right now.
