New Chic Trooper

[Scorcher]

Hi all.

I'm Eliza, I lurk on the northside of Brisbane and have been wanting to join the 501st for years. I'm now in a position to do so, and I'm well on my way with organising my stormtrooper costume. Have armour, boots, gun, holster and neck seal on their way. Can't wait to start building it!

Also, the lovely members who frequent the Nundah Festivals gave me the needed inspiration to get my butt into gear. They were even good enough to stop and let me get a photo even though they were heading off to get out of their gear. So thanks again! :-)

Welcome

Stormtrooper ... great choice for your first costume!

Can I ask where you ordered your armour from? Hopefully you were given some good advice and didn't buy from ebay.

[Scorcher]

Thanks.

I ordered an AM kit from TrooperGear, as after much research and queries on the FSID forums, that kit was recommended for someone of my short but plumpy stature. :-P

Hi Scorcher!
Always great to have more gals along! Good luck with the armour build.
Which Nundah Festival were you at, maybe 2 years ago? A bunch of us attended last year also.
