Hey guys,
I would like to introduce myself, my name is Steve and I’m from South East Brisbane. Ever since I was a child I have always wanted my very own Stormtrooper costume! Actually when I was younger I even had the pleasure of seeing you guys in action at an event in Brisbane and ever since then I have been following the 501st and Redback Garrison with the dream of one day proudly donning my own TK armour.
Today is that day! I’ve finally decided that I’m going to embark on the perilous journey to get my very own Stormtrooper costume (Either ANH Hero or ROTJ) and hopefully apply to become a contributing member of the 501st and Redback Garrison!! The first step is getting my own TK armour.. I have heard this can be quite a challenge to get something up to the 501st standard. Unfortunately I don’t currently possess the skills to craft my own armour set from scratch so I was looking into purchasing a good base set that I would be able to use and modify it myself to get it up to the 501st standard!
From the research that I have done on whitearmour.net, the RS propmaster kits seem to be generally liked. I was wondering what you guys think of the RS Prop Masters kits (http://www.rspropmasters.com/) Has anyone from Redback Garrison purchased one of these sets? Or know someone that has? If so, what did you think of it? I was looking at purchasing their “Fully Loaded Armour + Helmet kit”. Upon receiving the kit how much modification would I have to do to it in order for it to be up to the 501st standard?
Sorry for the novel lol. I look forward to joining the Redback Garrison ranks and to start trooping with you guys
Thanks in advance everyone.
Steve.
