Hi Tristan, welcome to Redback country.

Tip #1: stay away from eBay.

Some things on there are good. A lot is utter crap. If in doubt, post up a link and get another opinion before dropping good money on junk.

Tip #2: let us know what costume you want to do. Many members can point you in the right direction to what you are after.

Hey and Welcome :D

1. Pick a better forum name Wink sounds like I'm being an arse but the Forum name is the call-sign you will go by everywhere in the group and I have no idea how it pronounce that Smile Moxxxie or Altair will be able to assist with the name change (I think the first one's free but then is a drinks fee after that Wink )

2. Do you have a particular costume you are drawn to? either way have a look at the CRL of costumes at http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRL ... once you have an idea where you want to head we can give better directions

Welcome to the forum.

Before you spend any money:
- do lots of research
- ask lots of questions
- let us know where you are so that members near you can invite you to an armour party

Welcome to the Redback forums.
Nick names are generally the best, short and sweet.. We have a Bluski, so it might get a little confusing.
As soon as I saw your forum name I thought of "Heston", as in Heston Blumenthall the world famous chef lol.
