Thanks everyone!
I met MammaSith and cyclops today so got a neck seal on its way and learnt loads, was able to test drive some pieces of armour and experience the notorious limited vision with a bucket on! I brought hubby along and he is starting to get keen, is definitely interested in wrangling but still a bit unsure about starting a costume for himself. That's okay, baby steps, we'll get there.
Crypto is going to make me a blaster so pretty much all I have left to source now is a pair of boots. Waiting for Imperial Boots to do another wave, should be soon I hope. Then there's all the bits and pieces for putting the armour together - got some good pointers on that today as well and have bookmarked BIDS build thread. BBB day is still a while away, so I have some time to do more research, gather tools and things, and hopefully join a troop as suggested one of the upcoming weekends. Between work and our holiday to visit the fam back in the Netherlands this December I should be able to squeeze a troop in, fingers crossed!
Thanks again for all your help so far, I really appreciate it. Will start a build thread soon as well for my no doubt myriad questions once this project gets under way!
Oh and I've been advised to change my username, hehe... to be continued
