Newbie from alderley Brisbane - SnesN64 - Monday 4-May-2015
Hey redback
My name's james super keen on becoming apart of the garrison. I'm 24 and been a fan of star wars since before I could walk. looking at building a storm trooper outfit and wondering where I could start. Big star wars fan even today doing my may the 4th duties by doing a marathon of all star wars movies. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hey James, Welcome to the Redback forums mate!
If you are looking at building a stormtrooper (TK) then sign up on the FISD forums (whitearmor.net) - this is the best resource.

Hi James and welcome.
For storm troopers have a look at the Costume Reference Library (CRL) there are a few variants:

I highly recommend that you sign up on the detachment forums for stormtroopers FISD to do your research. Detachments are the costuming units of the Legion. Their role is to assist new and old costumers alike in the understanding, formation and building of costumes.

There are vetted armour suppliers and I suggest that you contact them and when contacting them give them your measurements that way you can be assured on getting the right armour to fit your body type and your budget.
While you are in the reading mood have a read through these threads to give you an idea on membership and applications:

More importantly if you have any questions just ask.
Good luck and enjoy the journey.

Welcome James
There are a few of us on the North side so you will have local support.
You have been directed to the appropriate detachment for Shiny whites, so hope to see you over there shortly.
Be prepared to have your mind blown as the FISD is an amazing resource. The best practice is to ask as many questions as you can, and you will receive loads of feedback.
I am the current attache for the FISD to the Redbacks, so if there is anything you need, feel free to PM me, or just ask away on the boards.

Avoid Jedi Robe and Ebay as a rule

Thanks guys I'll stick to the fisd haha I can't register for that forum for some reason it won't let me past the part where you have to prove that your not a machine I've just moved house so I'll have to wait to get my internet sorted. Just wondering if it's better to get a kit or a already made suite cheers guys.

There is no greater satisfaction, than assembling your armour yourself.
Don't underestimate your ability, besides, it's is awesome fun.

Welcome mate! Defs go with making a kit yourself. Not only is it more reliable but it is much more satisfying.
