Thank you for the compliments on the uniform...it is my newest pride and joy.....new for 2009 and Dragon Con this year....the boots are the SIDI Joel Roberts repros of the original Full bore...the only difference is that this SIDI boot only has 6 buckles vs. the original 7 on the full bores. Al helped me find this pair from a seller in Australia. He had one 12 1/2 wide pair left, new in the box for $280....so I jumped on it. They fit like a dream....all I have left to do is dye them the correct brown. I still have some detail paintin on the blaster to do as well. But the costume is VERY well made and true to the original costume design used on the show. It "helps" me get into the character to wear it from time to time now!!!!

Personally, in regards to boots, I prefer the woman's high heeled ones, like you see Sheba wear with her uniform. I just bought a really beautiful black nice high heeled(not stilleto ones..those just don't look right for BSG uniform boots), but a rather sterdy heel boots, for $49.95 reduced from $99!!!! Yay! I' ve been looking for these for well over a yahren now!

Welcome aboard and please allow me to add my uniform compliments to those already given by my squadmates!
We're usually pretty casual and try to be as helpful as we can, so speak up if we can be of service.
Well met! --Gideon-- (Captain Brik, Gold Squadron)

Welcome, Ensign Plwel, to the ranks of Gold Squadron. I look forward to serving with you.
Also, I agree with Persephone on the originality of your name, and am curious as to how your name is pronounced.
And, Kudos on the uniform!!!

The name Bouri-Plwel has been with me for over 8 years now. It is my Jedi name I created when I started Jedi costimng for Star Wars and the Rebel Legion. Everyone loved the name so much that it has just stuck with me all this time and I use it for EVERYTHING now. It is what people know my by. It is quite easy to pronounce actually.........it is "BORE + REE - PLA +WELL" For the sake of this board and game, I am calling it of Virgon origin, and the history is explained on my character bio. Thanks for the kudos on the uniform...I really owe it all to Col Charybdis and his extended help in the endeavor!!!!!
