Hi guys and girls just want to say hi and introduce myself.
My name is Martin (nick name is Marv or Marvin) and i live in sunny Hastings on the SE coast i have been reenacting for the past 4 years (us army vietnam mainly) and am looking in to cosplay and obviously a colonial marine but i am looking at doing it with a twist and will be building the armour from scratch

Regards
Martin aka Marv

Hey Marv!

Welcome along! It was great to meet you at Wyntercon!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your marine, should be a laugh! If you get stuck or need advice just post it up! Every one here is really helpful!

Morning Marv.

Welcome aboard.

Good luck with the build. There's plenty of resource out there if you need it. Just shout up. If you're building it yourself, are you going down the "Pep" route?

Keep us posted!


Rob.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome.
I have all the files on my pc and have a friend that is really experianced in making costumes and armour so thankfully i wont be doing the build on my own lol.
As for my twists i am basicly going to do my a British colonial marine about 15 years after the film was set am thinking slight updates in the armour and helmet etc.

We were next to the sog guys just up from you

I do like the idea of an updated marine. Little design tweaks.

Hi Marv,

I'm also new to this site and local to you (Hailsham). I work in Hastings.

I've started my costume recently & will be trying to make my armour from pepakura.

Give us a shout if I can be of any help.

Paul
