Thank you

Thanks so much!!

Hello Everyone! Recently, I saw someone trooping and I immediately became a huge fan. I told myself I had to make my own suit. I downloaded the most popular stormtrooper armor in stl format from Thingiverse and starting 3d printing. Soon after, I find out about this amazing group and other trooper organizations and now I would love to be part of that! However, now I'm trepidatious that my costume may not be accepted. It certainly isn't screen accurate, but it is kinda close though. Am I freaking out for no reason? I'm still reading and looking up how to join the nearest troop / garrison and how to connect with someone who can guide me on my costume. I have almost half of the suit printed before I stopped, so that I could find out. I have to be honest and say that I do feel a bit overwhelmed on where to even start. So far, I think I need to do this: Step 1 - make an account here (check) Step 2 - find out the garrison nearest me and find out how to join (Since I'm in Northeast Tennessee, I believe it's Midsouth Garrison in TN) Step 3 - request to join, fill out application, etc. and ask someone there to give me feedback and help with my costume Step 4 - finish making my costume Step 5 - Submit it for my local garrison approval, then submit it for 501st approval. Step 6 - join garrison activities to do good in my community and, hopefully, have fun along this journey, without ending up in a mental hospital or going bankrupt in the process. Is this correct? Did I miss anything? Thoughts, comments, suggestions? Thanks so much!
