Carolina Garrison

Hi I’m interested in joining the 501st I have always been a huge fan from a young age. I have had a big interest in stormtroopers and have started a collection for a few years, and what better way to display my interest than to BE a stormtrooper. I have absolutely no idea where to go from having a helmet. If anyone can help me find approved vendors, what to do, or even tips on building my own suit anything would be helpful! Thank you for your time.

Hi Ethan, and welcome. Appreciate you starting the journey. There is an abundance of information here and at the Whitarmor forums. May I first suggest this particular one.

As for Armor, you can determine where to buy, who to look out for, who not to buy from, build threads on how to do it yourself, kitting, how to get approved for the 501st and your official TK number!... and much more. Have you decided what particular armor set you are looking for?

Welcome..

I would talk to Jason Hill at Intergalactic Supply... he's a CG member , builds costumes and has kits for sale.
