Sometimes it difficult to remember that life doesn't revolve around CAP. :)  When I do remind myself of that, I enjoy my hobby of building screen accurate Star Wars costumes as a member of the 501st Legion, "Vaders Fist".

Here is me in my Scout Trooper costume:



Me in my TIE Pilot costume:



And here is me with a few of my friends in Orlando:



So where are my fellow nerds! Show me your Non-CAP Nerd hobbies.  :)

Where's the tree?  (I kid, I kid!)

Those are some pretty awesome costumes.  Screw the white-and-gray aviator shirt outfit, we should adopt Imperial uniforms.

As for I, I'm a pretty unabashed MMORPG nerd.

I cant afford to make the armor with all my other hobbies, one of the big Star Wars based ones right now is the X-Wing miniatures tabletop game.

Funny you should mention X-Wing Miniatures game. I play that as well.  :)

Yes, but it isn't Slave-1. It is the Firespray-31 piloted by a different bounty hunter. The name escapes me.

I just picked up all the ships from the newest wave, and the Raider is a little disappointing. I was expecting it to be larger, its the same size as the Corvette.

That's probably about the biggest ships will get in X-Wing.
