Good morning all,
My name is Scott and I am a huge Star Wars fan (Like all of us here)
and I have recently seen some of the work the 501st has done in the United States and Australia and would like to do my part for the Imperial cause.
The first thing I need to decide is what to make first, I am in the Navy so I was thinking Imperial Bridge crew or Officer to start of with something a little less daunting then a Storm Trooper.
Cheers and Beers
Hi there and welcome Scott.

Hi Scott, welcome
Your profile says you're in Sydney?
If so you'll want to check out the Southern Cross Garrison, the 501st down in NSW.

An officer costume is a great place to start, there are lots of variations, even one called "Imperial Navy Trooper". They can be a bit more affordable too and some (like Reserve Crewmen) can be the base for other costumes (like Tie Fighter Pilots).
Here's the link to the list of officer costumes for the Imperial Officer Corps:

Good luck!
