Hi, I'm a future member of Garrison Tyranus in Virginia.  I am personally working on an ESB Vader.  My wife is looking to join at some point and we've both been looking at EU for future ideas for me and current ideas for her.  She likes Mother Talzin, Visas Marr, Darth Traya, and Asaj Ventress.  I wanted to dig into these forums in hopes of finding resources to help her get her own outfit together.

Hi all,

 

I'm Jody. It took me more than a year to post something, but finally I'm about to get serious with it. In the future, I'd wish to join the Dutch Garrison. So hopefully my idea would get an approval before actually start building a costume. Nice to meet you ladies and gents.

Firstly, apologies to all for the delay there.  Short version is that I got a new job which I start on Monday and it has been a hectic week and a half for me.

Hey Shadow7098 (Willy) from Timberline Garrison 501st# 7098. Going to be working on a kylo ren soon and a Malak. Just needing access to the boards again.

I got you updated Willy, welcome back!

Welcome Brooks.   We're working on sorting out some merch stuff, and that machine should be back up and running soon.  Welcome to Flagship.

EU has a great selection of costumes to work with, and you have certainly come to the right place for both you and your wife.  I keep trying to settle on a costume for my wife as well.   You've got a great group of folks out there in Virginia, between their help and ours you should be on a good path.

 

Tk 10152 badlands garrison Looking to build a royal guard next. Good to meet everyone

Welcome Brother, please let us know if we can assist you in any way.

It is never too soon to start posting!  Welcome officially!  If we can be of assistance, feel free to let us know.

Hey Rob, this is the place to look.  We've got plenty of resources available here and if you're not already in contact with him, reach out to Alan Molina, or I'll point him to you if needed, he's a local resource for you in your Unit and you can benefit a lot from his help.  Please don't hesitate to ask questions.

Greetings exalted ones!

I'm Angi from west palm beach. I was originally going to start my Almema Rar, however my first roadblock is I am heavily tattooed and will first have to see what body paint or process could successfully cover them, or I will begrudgingly have to costume a fully covered twi'lek. I say begrudgingly because south Florida is extremely hot 11 months out of the year. 1st order of business.... Body paint with coverage :)

I will be part of the Capital City Garrison, I would like to do Asajj Ventress more specifically this one: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Ventress_conceptI am joining because I love Star Wars and I have since I was a small child and grew up with Star Wars as one of the few things I got to do with my dad (he was rarely home when I was very little). I want to be a part of a group who both love Star Wars and who love cosplay and who accept me as who I am. I also love to share my love for Star Wars. Costumes. Building things and gaming. I'm also a graphic artist and a mechanic by trade. I hope this helps explain a little about me? Feel free to ask me any question.

welcome Angi, I thought I had replied to this one, apologies for slipping.   I would start a post in the R&D Section to get started and we can start there.  My first thought is actually a breathable sleeve of some form,though dark ink behind a light color may still pose a problem.  Just an idea.

Welcome Das.  We've got a lot of resources available when you'd rather wear 15 lbs of fabric instead of armor, feel free to check out what we've got and ask any questions you may have!

Hello, all. I'm r00k, an information security specialist from Southern California, and part time TIE Fighter pilot. I've finished my reserve pilot and am currently corking on the armor pieces. I also have my royal guard helmet, the robes for which I'm going to be starting soon.

 

I also have a small (5) saber collection, including a Vader and a generic staff. I've been enamored with the Sith Acolyte since the Hope trailer came out for SWToR, and I plan on working towards that after these other costumes are done (unfortunately probably not till next year sometime). Also probably a Nihilis, a costume I've been craving as well.

 

I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you while I work towards that goal.

Hello!! 

I'm Laura and I will be from the Outerrim Garrison in British Columbia, Canada. I've already made my Visas Marr build and I'm going to be sending off my photos soon. I want to join the 501st because of the wonderful community, as well as to make friends in my area through the medium that I adore. I very sincerely hope that I'll be approved soon and can join fully in the near future!

Greetings fellow Star Wars Junkies!

 

I'm Michael. I'm a professional artist by trade (oil paintings - portraits and figure work) I'm from the Alpine Garrison in Northern Utah. Love the people involved there and the people of the 501st! I'm really enjoying watching kids of ALL ages react to the costumes at the events! Right now I'm working on three builds. My first is a TS, followed closely by a TK. That will give me the means to suit up while I build my Darth Malgus. I'm calling it a slow-burn build because I want it to be done right. There are a few well done examples out there that I'm sure most here have seen. I'm planning to follow along that same line to achieve that OMG WOW! reaction from costumers and fans alike. I'm sitting down with my armorer tomorrow evening to begin planning for the mask and the body armor. He's already informed me that I'll be looking at at least two months before the armor pieces will be ready. It's all good. The TS and the TK will keep me busy for the next little while, then I'll be able to focus a bit more on the build I'm dying to do! I'm hoping to be able to find advice and input here all along the way.

Infosec is a program close to my heart, very cool and welcome!   We've got some great folks over in the Acolyte threads, and there is a lot of great information to help you get started.  The same can be said for Nihilus as well.

Welcome back!   I just checked and you appear to be listed in Reserve status on 501st.com   If you wish to get that changed you'll need to pay a visit there as well.  In any case, glad to have you!

Hello! My name is Kevin. Im an Airman serving at Hickam AFB, HI. I plan on joining the Pacific Outpost 501st Legion. I this will be my first costume and I want to become a Sith Acolyte. I met with some members from the Pacific Outpost and it appears I would be the first Acolyte they have had so they have hardly any knowledge on how to acquire the parts for the armor. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi everyone I'm Andy TK/RC 8846 and am currently working on a Sith Acolyte build. Looking forward to completing this hopefully with in a few months. I've been with the Legion since 2007 and also have a Heavy Weapons trooper and custom Mandalorian with the Mercs. My Garrison is the Northeast Remnant and I'm also the GML/GWL so very active with all sorts of costumes. I figured it was time to treat myself since I hadn't completed a new one in about 5 years (other than modding out my current costumes) ;) -thanks

Hey Kevin, welcome to the Flagship.   I did 6 years at Offutt AFB and got out as a Staff Sergeant, if you ever have any questions Air Force-wise.  Grats on a great assignment in HI.   I lived there for 4 years while my dad was stationed there.   I also had the joy of meeting the Pacific Outpost guys during my honeymoon, you've got a fine group of folks out there to work with.   For your Sith Acolyte start out on the threads for the costume.  Mynock's build thread is one of the best locations to start, but there is also a lot of great research and work in many of the other threads.   Learn what you can, dig around, and when you come up with questions start them on a thread of your own.  And if that doesn't get results, hit me up, and I will be happy to try and help contract the right people for you.   Again, welcome!

Hey Andy, most of the stuff in my message above to Kevin would also apply for you, though you've already got a good start going.   I'm working on an Engineer for MMCC myself.    http://imgur.com/a/8yI8t  As always, if I may be of any assistance, please let me know.

Hello! Chris here. I'm looking to join the Southern California garrison and am currently trying to complete my Mara Jade kit. Ive always loved Star Wars and cosplay and this organization was a great way to not only challenge myself to higher standards of costume creation but a great way to connect with a community of like minded people!

Hello, Nick here. I'm over in Star Garrison's territory, and I am hoping to do a Darth Revan, one of my favorites. What with my schedule at the moment I doubt I'll be able to start it any time soon, but I do want to at least get as much research done as possible so that I know where to go when I can start building it.
