Costuming Standards

There are three levels of review for a stormtrooper.

1. 501st Acceptable - the is the baseline standard for 501st acceptance.
2. Expert Infantry - this takes your armor to a higher level of accuracy though is readily attainable on a reasonable budget / amount of effort.
3. Centurion - the highest level of certification and aims for the strictest levels of accuracy while still being 501st acceptable.

We are working to rebuild the content of this site. In the meant time, take a look at the FISD page at 501st.com. The Baseline standards are in black, Expert Infantry in blue and Centurion in red.
