Darth Angelo

Hello all! I'm Michael from South Ogden, Utah. I'm part of the Alpine Garrison (since 2015) with 501st Legion approved costumes as Darth Maul SL-13597 and also as a Snow Trooper TS-13597. I also participate in a local saber performance group and will be submitting a Jedi to the Rebel Legion for approval in April. I'm currently in the research process for a third 501st costume, Darth Malgus. Malgus is one of my top choices for the next build. I would welcome any leads or suggestions that anyone has to locating and obtaining components (soft parts and armor) for this build as I'm pretty much shooting in the dark to get started. I appreciate any help I can get here. Thanks in advance, and may the Force serve you well.

Hello, Michael Nickle (Darth Angelo) here, TKID 13597 Alpine Garrison https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=19777 Requesting 501st Access

Greetings fellow Star Wars Junkies! I'm Michael. I'm a professional artist by trade (oil paintings - portraits and figure work) I'm from the Alpine Garrison in Northern Utah. Love the people involved there and the people of the 501st! I'm really enjoying watching kids of ALL ages react to the costumes at the events! Right now I'm working on three builds. My first is a TS, followed closely by a TK. That will give me the means to suit up while I build my Darth Malgus. I'm calling it a slow-burn build because I want it to be done right. There are a few well done examples out there that I'm sure most here have seen. I'm planning to follow along that same line to achieve that OMG WOW! reaction from costumers and fans alike. I'm sitting down with my armorer tomorrow evening to begin planning for the mask and the body armor. He's already informed me that I'll be looking at at least two months before the armor pieces will be ready. It's all good. The TS and the TK will keep me busy for the next little while, then I'll be able to focus a bit more on the build I'm dying to do! I'm hoping to be able to find advice and input here all along the way.
