Welcome Jay. You found the right place for your love of Stormtroopers. I started off the same way as you. I loved the iconic look of the Stormtroopers in A New Hope and for years thought about joining the 501st. I didn't have the right skill set to make my own armor, but ended up buying a kit, and assembling it, with the help of members on these boards, and fellow members of what is now the Garrison I am part of. You will find no shortage of help here. I hope you are able to complete your journey and join the ranks.
