I'm not going to rehash what everyone else has said. Do some research as to what character you like and go for it. Quite a few of us have more than 1 costume, so with 61 Redback members, I'm sure someone will have it or an idea how to put it together. Snipers 2 cents.

Awesome costume man! Hope theres a tie fighter being in garage too.

welcome aboard mate. take your time and do your research, eventually you'll find something you just HAVE to do and then the fun begins

Gdays, not much else to say since its all be said.
Welcome. With your height you'll be awesome.
Just don't expect this compact trooper to stand next to you .

Gday,

Being tall has it's ups and downs. It's easy to stand out in a crowd.

The main thing to do is make sure whatever costume you do, that you're proportionate.

This means spending a little bit of extra time on your armour, perfecting the spacing, trimming (if you go kit form) and fit.

Alternatively, if you're good with a sewing machine, an Imperial Officer is a great way to jump on board for mininum outlay to give yourself a bit of time to work on that "special" creation.

Sitting, running, kneeling may not be an option to different costumes - so you may also like to see a few builds at an AP or 2.

I'd encourage you to come along to a troop, see a few different costumes and armour makers products before making any big dollar decisions.

I think you're in the right place to live out your childhood dreams.

All the best,

Cutter
