Thanks for the welcoming guys, looking forward to trooping with you all at some point. Thought I'd drop in here to update this and let yall know I've just had my kit approved and am currently waiting on the costume to be added to my roster and get my formal approval on the forums. I'm attaching one of the pictures from my submission photos on here for anyone curious to see how the full kit turned out.

Thank you all, and may the force serve you well!

Hi there everyone, I'm currently going through the process of completing my first ever Star Wars costume and hoping to get it approved to join the NC Garrison. Really just waiting on a some things for the leather belt to finish off the costume and get some pictures sent in for approval. I've always had enormous respect for the 501st ever since I saw them for the first time in action when I was in middle school. I had never seen costumes made with such love an attention to detail like them and had a dream ever since of joining the ranks and participating in events.

Not really sure what else to put in here but I suppose I can introduce myself personally a bit as well! My name is Levi, I'm 23 years old and have been living in Charlotte for the past 13 years. I love horror films, metal music, video games, and of course, Star Wars. My favorite Sith Lords have always been Nihilus and Vader for their cold and calculated demeanor. All my friends always call me the token edgelord of the group, which has since become my nickname of sorts

Anyways, that's all I can really think of saying about myself so I'll end this post now. I look forward to meeting and getting to know all of you in time!
