So far, I like:
Commander Doom
CT Pilot Matchstick
CT 187th Attack Battalion
CT 442nd Siege Battalion
AT-RT Driver
CT 212th Utapau Shadow Trooper

Where do I go from there? Piecing stuff together might be my best choice at the moment.

Hey all, my name is Tom and I live in Julian, NC. I'm 45 and have been an avid fan of Star Wars since they first came out. I have a 4 year old daughter, soon to be 5, who loves watching SW with me!
I love what the 501st stands for and want to join or at least help out at social events.
Where do I begin with costumes? I'm not super handy but I can follow directions...I've never made a costume before.
I have a theater background as well as stage combat and ren faire experience in NJ/NY/PA.
I may not know every detail about who is who and what they did or who they get along with, in the SW world, but I just want to be apart of something like this!!
Thanks for your time...any input and help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tom
