hi all, names matt, handles abntroop, ex 82nd airborne infantry, currently I’m an architectural and mechanical draftsman out of work, been a long term RPF member, proptopia member/lurker, legion member, etc etc. been buildin props and costumes for 10 years+ now. got out of it for the most part for the last few years, quit the 501st legion, and after a hiatus finally have the opportunity to dedicate some attention to putting together a GB rig. Needless, to say this project has been sitting on the backburner for a while and always seemed to get pushed around so I’m happy to finally have the time to tackle this project. Looks like your community is an information goldmine, I look forward to meeting you all, learning and maybe even contributing. I look forward even more to working on this thing. I don’t know about you folks, but the tactile sensations that go along with prop building are huge for me. sights, smells, the feel of stuff on/in your hands. That end all sensation of holding something in your hand that you dreamed of as a kid but never thought possible is just “The Shit”. It’s been a bit, and I’m really looking forward to reviving that experience.
