Carolina Garrison

Good Evening all,

First, and intro. My name is Craig Best. I have posted as "Harder" on the Whitarmor forums. I am in progress of acquiring the armor and soft materials to eventually supply to join the ranks with you all.

I am a single father of 4 boys. Oldest is 25, youngest is 9. I know.. didn't learn my lesson. lol. Love kids, and have a tremendous soft heart for children. Like all of you a huge fan of Star Wars. So much so, I have purchased an ESB fully finished commission set of armor from RSPro. The armor should arrive first week of November. I plan to do unboxing pics and a video... I will post it on youtube.

I recently joined some of you at the Fort Macon photo even in Atlantic Beach / Moorehead City. I met a couple of you, sorry I forgot some names already, however, I am looking to get to know you all soon as I can. Jeremy, Mr and Mrs Casino, Scott, Jeremy, and I wanna say Tiffany? Was a great time. The Jawas really sold it. Talk about being fully engrossed "in character".

I have the UKSWrath iComm and the helmet fans ready to put in the bucket when it comes. I get every other week updates from RSPro.

I do have a few questions.

I believe this to be the order of events, but something seems a little off.

1. I have selected the armor maker, and ordered the armor.
2. I have registered here at my Garrison.
3. I have registered at Whitearmor for help.
4. I have registered at the 501st. (but I cannot post anything... literally just a username at this point)
5. I have found the GML (Jeremy and Andrew) for this Garrison.
6. I will take pictures of my armor once it arrives, and submit to the "Pre-Approval" thread on whitearmor when I have them.
7. I will then make any adjustments as necessary (going for Centurion)
This is where I dont know what happens....

How do I submit the "ready" armor to the 501?
when will a TK be assigned?
Once one is assigned, do I go back to whitearmor and give notice with the profile link in the "new recruit" section... I believe so.

And MOST importantly.

How do I sign up to go to events and help.

Thats the goal.... I want to be a part of this.

Best Regards, and thanks for reading,
Craig Best... ESB Stormtrooper

Hello and welcome. Always glad to have a new TK to troop with!
I'm not very familiar with whitearmor as I'm not a TK, but I can tell you that once you get an approved costume, you'll also get full access to these boards which will allow you to see all the upcoming events and such. You get your TK number at the same time you get your first costume approved. On the application, you'll get to select multiple numbers and if available, you'll be granted that number upon your first approval.
Once you're ready to approve, you'll email all you approval pictures and pertinent info to James Seay or Andrew... they're the ones that will approve costumes... Jeremy is our CO, so while running this ship, he has James and Andrew to approve the costumes
I'm sure others can help with the whitearmor specific questions... but feel free to ask away!
Good luck!

Thanks Chris! Great reply. Ok. I think I know a Justin from Whitearmor who’s also “mentoring” a little with me.

I’ll begin posting progress build pics soon. Thanks again.

Hello troopers,

I received an update from RS Propmasters today. They have finished production of my TK ESB Armor. It is being inspected and adjusted based upon my measurements given this week, with the intent to package and ship next week!

(enter small child "eek!" sound now)
