Hello all,
I want to start off by saying I have absolutely 0 experience when it comes to costumes. This is a completely new world for me, but I am tired of sitting on the sidelines and admiring from afar...I want to be involved! I have read through the forums the past few days and am overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. I see some people are creating their own kits from scratch, but unfortunately I do not have the resources or skill to do something like that. The other alternative I see is to buy a kit and mod it yourself over time.
I see the most common options are:
1) 850 Armor Works
- It looks like this is a good starter kit and you would need to contact them directly for pricing information, etc.
2) "Jimi Kit"
- 2) I see people commonly mention this kit, but am still unclear as to who/what this is? Is this a user on the forum that one would need to contact directly to discuss purchasing?
3) ArmoryShop
- Also a viable kit I found on etsy, but was wondering if anyone has their kit and can provide some insight on fit/quality
What is involved with purchasing a kit? Sanding, painting, etc? If anyone could spare any additional information or resources on how to get started it would be greatly appreciated. This is not something I'm looking to get done any time soon as I understand this is an ongoing project. However, I would at least like to begin somewhere other than just staring at a screen all and day and wondering if certain pieces/items would work and what to even do with them?
Thanks for your time and I appreciate any and all feedback.
