Well the big brown box came in today, so now all I need to do is collect all the rest of the tools needed to put this baby together! I welcome any help you guys can give me along the way!

For the vendor, I'm thinking of going with Authentic Props, and figuring out the soft parts after that. Any other vendors I should check out before making a final decision?

Thank's for all the advice, it's comforting to know all the help available! I've decided on building it myself, you can't learn if you don't try!

Hello, I'm really wanting to join the 501'st, but the one daunting thing that has me worried is the ordering and building of a costume. I have absolutely no experience with building anything like this, and consequently have little to no tools used for making these costumes. Is it better to build a costume yourself or to order it pre-made? I imagine it's more fulfilling to build it yourself, but it also appears to be more expensive? All in all I'm just feeling a little bit overwhelmed, and was wondering if anyone had any advice?

[Hello from Texas]

Hi there! I've been looking at/researching you guys for a while, and I finally decided that I was in a position to try and join up! I've been interested in building costumes for a while, and I love Star Wars, so I figure this is the best of both worlds huh? I really like some of the clone armors and the scout armor, but I think I'll start with the original armor given that it's my first time doing something like this. I'm still in the researching how to get a costume phase, so if any of you guys have some advice for me, it would be greatly appreciated!
