Thanks for all this and the warm welcome, Masked! More than I would’ve thought to ask for. I’ll definitely reach out to rascal and the other gent as things progress Thanks! It’s a small world man. I was a Persianist in Grad School and stumbled on your Asvaran & Immortal stuff - totally blew me away. Had no idea you trooped

Great resources & insight, friends! This is a huge help. Have either of you bumped into folks that have done an R1/‘Anthologies’ trooper? That one really jumped out at me because I love that they can rock pauldrons without being a heavy or a sandy. No hate for sandtroopers but I think you just can’t beat that polished white look. From the CRL & what I’ve seen discussed the kits they use in things like R1/Solo/Mando tend to be a mishmash of ANH/Empire/ROTJ kits with just a sprinkling of disney stuff (FO boots were the first to leap out at me). That shouldn’t dramatically up the difficulty level right? Not that I’m opposed to a challenge Plus I figure it would be a great way to keep the kit modular for any cool stuff that rolls out from the Mandalorian or other OT side stories as time goes on, no? Would be nice to have a head start if any neat variants turn up. Thanks again & happy Friday-eve! Y’all are awesome.

Thanks for the tips chief! Nice to know where to sink my teeth in. You definitely read my mind with those Centurion apps too - this is why I don’t do well at poker Always aim high right?

Hey thanks everyone! Appreciate the warm welcome and looking forward to starting the adventure. The nice thing is that I’ve lurked CRLs and even WhiteArmor for quite a while - so I have some idea of what’s what. What I don’t have is a clue on the particulars or really where to begin. I’m pretty agnostic on build vs buy. What I do want to do is shoot very high from the very beginning - I’m happy to spend a lot more time and love to end up with a really nice suit. Any pros/cons that might not be obvious to a rookie? Might help me decide between scratch/kit/etc!

Hey troopers, Brand new here but I’ve been a fan of y’all for ages now. Finally getting to a spot in my life where I can stop imagining this and start getting ready to don the helmet for the first time - exciting stuff. Although I’ve still got quite a bit of prep and familiarization ahead before I can start in earnest, I’m thrilled to join the forum and start learning. Fingers crossed we’ll have a 2021 that’s a biiit less insane and I’ll be able to see you folks around sometime soon. Cheers from Virginia - stay safe & sane out there! -Korhal (Dylan)
