Hello!
My name is Alexander, aka. 1mpulseS0D, I am 19 years old, live in Sweden.
I watched Firefly for the first time back in 2002-2003, when it originally aired. Back then, when I was 7-8 years old, I just liked the cool space-cowboy theme and the general feel of the series, but did not understand it, since I first of couldn't speak english, and secondly, because I simply was not able to keep up with the story!
But now, I recently picked up this fantastic series again, and boy, it is better than I remembered.
So, now I have decided to build a Mal costume. I got some crafting experience from before, since I have built a Stormtrooper suit, and I have assembled a Halo Master Chief MKVI helmet. But that is basically it. Got no experience in sewing or leatherworking, which this build mostly will be of!
If anyone can give me some pointers on what to look into, and what stuff are available for purchasing (Mainly asking about the model 47). Do you build the model 47 yourself, or do you buy kits, or how does it go down here?
Anyway, really looking forward to spend some time here! If anyone is from Sweden, just hook me up with a PM and we can chat!
And remember, they can't take the sky from us!
Xei-Xei,
Alex
