Staying Safe and Positive ⭐️ ⠀ ⠀ With news

Staying Safe and Positive ⭐️ ⠀
⠀
With news and updates changing day to day, and even hour to hour, it’s important to stay safe and be kind. It’s also important, as we progress to increasing levels of self isolation, to hold onto the positive things than can help with anxiety. Our hobbies can be a haven as we stay at home and change the way we fill our time. ⠀
⠀
As Star Wars fans, our family is focusing on activities that we can do at home. As well as continuing to enjoy our favourite Star Wars video games and books, we also plan to take the time to feature some of our treasured collectibles and memories on our blog. ⠀

Black Series 6” IG-88 ⠀
⠀
A recent birthday gift, and a very welcome addition to my IG-88 focus collection. ⠀
⠀
This particular figure is from the Hasbro bubble-carded Archive line, and it has great articulation and level of detail. ⠀
⠀
With the level of exposure that IG-11 has given to this series of droids in The Mandalorian, my appreciation for the original bounty hunter has increased even more ⭐️

Battlefront Darktrooper ⭐️ ⠀
⠀
We love the original Star Wars Battlefront games - and still enjoy playing instant action games on the weekends. ⠀
⠀
Darktroopers were one of my favourite classes to play, and they look cool too. ⠀
⠀
It is so much fun to wear unique armour from a video game we love so much. ⠀

What’s your favourite class to play in Star Wars Battlefront? ⭐️

#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 31 - Endings ⠀
⠀
As I’m sure most costumers can relate, I have a few costume projects that have been put aside for one reason or another, waiting to be finished someday. ⠀
⠀
This Riddick costume is an odd one out from my stash, in that I’m pretty certain I’ll never finish it. ⠀
⠀
I got this far before I ran out of time for DragonCon 2009 - made the shirt, arm guards and shoulder harness, and finished it off with store-bought boots, pants and belt. ⠀
⠀
The reason this will never get finished? We now own a real Vin Diesel screen used Riddick costume! Doesn’t seem much point to keep sewing the rest of this version, when it could never compare to the real one we have ⭐️

#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 30 - Beginnings ⠀
⠀
The beginning of our love of costumes - Matt’s first costume, Star Wars stormtrooper armour. ⠀
⠀
He bought it from the US in 2001, and joined the @official501st that same year. ⠀
⠀
A few years later, I made my first costume, a Jedi Knight. We soon found each other through our shared love of Star Wars, collecting, and costuming. ⠀
⠀
Passions we still share to this day, after 12 years of marriage and still going strong ❤️

#FallForCostume 2019 Instagram challenge hosted by @redthreaded Day 29 - Spooky ⠀
⠀
The ‘spookiest’ costumes we own - screen used Necromonger captain and convert costumes from The Chronicles Of Riddick. ⠀
⠀
We bought these from @prop_store back in 2005, our first ‘couple cosplay’ - it was so exciting to own costumes from the first film we ever saw together. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I’ve worn my Necromonger convert costume several times, at different conventions around the world - but Matt’s captain costume won’t fit in a suitcase, so we wear them together at local conventions 🖤
