Welcome

If you can make it Buzzard is having a armour party tomorrow and you will be able to see different costumes in different stages of finished

Do you have a specific costume in mind?

[JOker]

Welcome! Have you thought about which costume you'd like to build for yourself yet?

Welcome Darren, if it's a Storm Trooper you're after I'd recommend heading over to www.whitearmor.net (it's the storm trooper specific website), signing up and having a look at this thread for the various vetted armor makers :- http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11...find-them/
Another good idea is to check out the EIB/Centurion build threads as they list the height & weight of the trooper and give you a great idea of what the various brands of armor look like on certain body sizes.

Did you have a specific movie in mind (e.g. ANH Stunt or Hero, ESB, ROTJ), as that's the other decision you'll need to make.

Don't hesitate to sing out with any questions you have, we're a pretty friendly bunch.
