*posted verbatum for my vod and fellow Merc, Jaiden Turr'n Verda*The 903rd Legion is now up and running!
http://903rd.proboards.comWHO WE ARE: The 903rd Legion is a Star Wars costuming board unlike any other. Our goal is to focus on the individuality and creativity of those already members of the 501st Legion, the Rebel Legion, and many others by allowing them a place to create completely custom costume - or to customize their current costumes - based on the Star Wars universe. But let me be perfectly clear...it is not the intention of the 903rd to take away members of any board. Our goal is solely to give yet another costuming posting board alternative in the cosplay universe, much in the way any of the detachment boards offer costume-specific forums.
WHY WE DID THIS: It came to our attention that while the 501st and the RL are fairly decent organizations with necessary strict guidelines for their canon costumes and the Mandalorian Mercs is a wonderful board to create and show off a custom Mandalorian character, there really isn't anything out there for customized Star Wars characters in general.
For instance, say you want a character who is a former Biker Scout who got left behind on Endor and had to take the uniform off of a dead Rebel soldier. You are welcome in the 903rd! What if you are a rebel sympathizer who deals in surplus Imperial armor and uniforms, and you like to show off your stuff? You're welcome in the 903rd!
We're talking complete customs here, folks!
Like I said, this isn't something to take away from any group in general. But since the 501st and the RL doesn't allow customs at all, and the Mercs are Mando Specific, if you have a wild and crazy idea for a totally unique custom character that could be seen in the Star Wars universe, then stop on by
http://903rd.proboards.com!
And if you already have any costume from any group, you are welcome as well. 501st, RL Jedi, Mercs...there's room enough for everyone!
So be sure to stop on by and join if you like. All canon and non-canon Star Wars costumes are welcome.

As a completely custom costume lover, and know there are a few here too who wear them, I offered to post this info for him for those who might be interested :) I'll certainly be joining up! Custom costumes and characters need more recognition, imho! There isn't enough of them out there and what better place for us to get together 8) Hope to see you there!
