Hi John,

First things first you need to decide which character you would like to be. That is the best way to start. Then you can look at what it takes to make that costume and see if that is within your budget and in your skill level.

Start there and then people will be able to give you some more specific advice.

Get ready for some fun.

Hi John,
As APOK said, the best place to start is deciding which costume you want to do.
You can browse the costumes here: http://www.501st.com.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=29

Also, check out the upcoming events and try to get to one near you to meet some troopers.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!

Hi John, welcome to the forums.

Where are you located? As it can help to get along to a local event and talk to the troopers in person, we are a friendly bunch

Hi John, well you have taken your first step on a journey full of fun and excitement.
Sage advice has been given above, so yeah, pick your top two favorite bad guy characters and let us know.
From there you should get more direction, also tell us a bit about your self, like what part of Brissy or surounds you are from as we are sure to have friendly and helpful troopers in or near your area.

Welcome to the Redback forums!
