Hi !

I'm SL-6828 (Joël) of the Swiss Garrison. I currently own an ESB Vader as well as a ROTJ Royal Guard. My plans / costumes in progress: Line officer and Kylo Ren.

I joined the legion in 2010 for the love of costuming with other Star Wars fans. Since then, my garrison to me is more than just cosplayers fellas, but good friend that I enjoy to meet both in and out of costume, to just have a chat and drink.

See you soon !

Hey ya'll,

 

I'm Russ from North Carolina. I hope to join the 501st when I'm old enough, (in 3 years), Carolina garrison. Right now I'm working on costumes just a hobby. I plan to make the Heavy Weapons Trooper and Starkiller costumes. I want to join for my love of Star Wars and costuming.

I'm Lori from outside of Portland, Oregon.  I'm nearly finished with my Darth Revan costume.  I will be part of Cloud City Garrison.  I knew I wanted to join the 501st after attending a Star Wars in Concert event and saw how the Cloud City members were making the event memorable, taking photos with the guests and making it so much fun for the kids...of all ages.  

 

I can see this is going to be an addictive hobby.  I'm already considering my next costume(s).

It's not just a great hobby, we're a whole community of awesome people, and if you want to look great while bringing smiles to the faces of kids and kids at heart, you're in the right place.   Feel free to get a WIP post of your own going on the Revan boards and I'm sure our crew of experts will be happy to help you along the way.   Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Hi! I'm Anna, from Hollywood, so that would be Socal Garrison. I recently completed my first big multimedia project (traditionally have normally stuck to sewing), Dread Master Raptus - from TOR. After I clean up the aftermath from that effort in my apartment (hahaha such a mess) I plan on organizing my WIP photos and explaining the process on my Facebook cosplay page, such as it is, and I can also mirror that here.

Hey, I'm Matthieu Villedieu from Santee which would be the SoCal garrison whenever I get around to actually sending photos in to join after I make some changes to my revan and (cotf) nihilus. I really was on the fence about all this, but with celebration anaheim last week, I met some people during a TOR panel and here I am. While I won't be able to make any progress till finals have passed, I can't wait to have some of my questions hopefully answered about revan and nihilus. If I left something out of the intro, let me know.

Looks like you covered your bases Matthieu.  Naturally I suggest you also contact your local folks in SoCal and get to know them, you'll see a lot more of them than you will us, but we're certainly here to help.  I can relate to that feeling: I've been in talks with my wife about building a droid and at least one more costume since Celebration.

Hi Everybody!

 

I'm Amy, and I'm looking to join the Star Garrison in Houston Texas. I ran into the 501st legion at a comic con, and it seemed like exactly the kind of thing I wanted to get involved in. I'm currently working on a Visas Marr, which I hope to finish this summer.

Hello there, I have been a member of the 501st for a few years with the Golden Gate Garrison. So far I have a TK and am working on a Boba Fett. I am joining the flagship eclipse as I am interested in Darth Revan for myself and a Mara Jade for my wife. Looking forward to chatting with and meeting you guys.

Hi! I'm Tamar building for the Georgia garrison. I'm beginning a female Tusken build this summer. I'm really excited to join the 501st because I (obviously) love Star Wars but I also like giving back to the community. This will be a great way to combine creativity and helping others as well as meeting other fellow fans!

Greetings everyone! Checking in from Portland, OR (Cloud City Garrison).

I am a previous 501st member from a few years back, but I've since sold my costumes, and now I'm looking to get started again!

Presently I'm a member of the Mercs, and looking to get either a Revan or Nihilus build going!

If anyone has any reputable people that can get me situated with robes and other items, feel free to message me! And I look forward to trooping with you all!

Lurk no more Brother!  Nice to meet you Kerry, we've recently tightened some of the membership protocols for the forum to parallel the Legion requirement of logging into our forum once per year to be considered an Active member, some status' may get changed accidentally but we're glad to have you with us.  If you need any help feel free to post in a thread or send a PM.

Hello Wishsinger, you're in the right place.  Between your local GML in Star Garrison and the assistance you find on these boards, you should be trooping in no time.  Welcome!

You're in the right place, Brother, we have great costumers in both sections there, we look forward to helping both you and your Wife with anything you need.

Welcome Tamar, if you're referring to http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TuskenRaiderFemale that actually falls under the Krayt Clan who handles all Tuskens except Darth Krayt (how that happened I have no idea).   However if there is any way we may be of assistance here, particularly with crafting techniques, feel free to ask.

Hello everyone!  I'm a prospective member from Florida, and would be a member of Everglades Squad when I finish my costume.  I'm interested in making a few different costumes actually, but in the main I'd like to make a Darth Revan.  I am already a member of the Mandalorian Mercs and the Rebel Legion and am excited to start work on a third costume.

Excellent, and welcome!   You probably know the drill already but if you have any questions, by all means speak up.
