Thanks for the link, and the luck!

Alrighty then, I'll probably have to go check my local stores and stuff to see if they have anything similar. On a side note my grandfolks used to live there, so that's neat, probably went into the same store too. They live closer to waterloo now and encountered a 501st member patrolling the streets as well, what a coincidence!

Hahah! That's awesome! I'm probably going to be getting an AM kit myself, just for the height stuff. Both sets look great too!

Thanks! My neck is also 17 inches so hopefully I won't have to remeasure too many things. I do have one question though, any tips on where to get the shiny-ish material for the outside of the neck?

I also found this thread recently, and might have a go at creating one myself just to gain some knowledge/knowhow, if that fails I can just get the trooperbay one.

Ah I see, thanks a bunch!

So I'm really really new at this and figured hey, I might as well try for centurion because why not. For my first suit I'm doing a ANH TK Stunt armour and I'm starting to get all the soft parts first while I wait for AM to get back to me. Anyways I'm looking at the undersuit and neck seal now and I don't know if their neck seal is good enough for not, I read somewhere on here that it needs to have that s-curve at the top, but looking in the costuming databank for the ANH TK Stunt it doesn't mention it. Would it be good or should I look elsewhere for one? Trooperbay Neck Seal:

Thanks, I've currently been looking into the different soft bits while waiting for AM to get back to me, and I'm guessing it's probably a good idea to be getting most if not all of everything else before BBD.

Yep, I'll probably be reading over all the links for quite a bit before I do anything, and hoo boy will I have questions.

Awesome stuff!

I've been thinking that I might go with one of the AM kits for a TK ANH Stunt, it's ABS which is good and I've heard it's made for taller troopers. time to do a crapload more research

Thank you!

Hello there. (heh) I first heard about the 501st about 2 years ago (I think) and immediately loved the idea of joining everyone in doing Star Wars charity stuff, anyways after a long 2 years (in which I probably should've done planning and stuff but uh.. nope) I'm finally ready to get started on stuff here, which is quite exciting! Literally any information will help me as I don't remember much from my "research" from back then. I'm also 6'5 so durable armour suggestions for tall troopers would be super helpful. Anyways, have a nice day. (also I might've made a post from back then?? but now seems like a more fitting time to do this.)

Thanks for the advice and tips on where to find the various threads and all that, I'll definitely check out those build tips and *certainly* start my own build thread once I start on my own set! p.s love the dancing stormtrooper you got XD

Thanks for the info!

Where would I go to buy a kit of this nowadays?

Sorry I haven't been replying, just been away for a week, thanks for the welcomes!

By the way, I'm going up to my cottage this week with little to no internet so I can't respond to anything you're saying, but feel free to leave suggestions/comments on this page!

I've also heard that AM make armour for the bigger troopers in the Legion, would you say 6'4 is big compared to other troopers??

Yea I've been looking at ATA as well, just as my first set, maybe it'll be AP, I'm still doing a lot of research into what armour has its pros and cons, by the way, anyone know a good e-11 blaster vendor? I've been looking around and the one's I've found are either out of stock, or not replying to people.

All right then, thanks!

Quick question, (Forgot to mention the fact that I am not old enough to join, whoops) what are the current benefits of contacting my local garrison members, and who would I message first? The CO, or someone else?

I live about a half hour out from Ottawa, so when I join I'd likely be in the Capital City Garrison.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been reading as much as I can with the time I have.

Hello FISD! The name's Tyler. I've recently come across the 501st through the internet, and I remembered seeing something like that before and dreaming of doing it too, I love the idea of helping others, just by loving a franchise. It's awesome! Joining the 501st is a little dream of mine, and I was searching around on the website and came to here, I quickly realized that these forums were the first step into becoming a fully fledged 501st member and Stormtrooper, I get giddy thinking about it, heh. Anyways, just saying "Hello there" to you all, and may the force be with you. (Hopefully in the future) TK-40151
