Echo3_Skywalker Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello everyone! My name is stephanie im a life long star wars fan and have wanted to join the ranks of Vader’s 501st for many years now. I have just joined my local Garrison Carida and I am beginning my first build a Stormtrooper and Im super excited! This is the link to my build thread: http://501stgarrisoncarida.org/forum/topic/17809-cadet-2025-stephanie-felton-build-thread-stormtrooper/?tab=comments#comment-269113 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi Stephanie and welcome to FISD! There are plenty of knowledgeable members here who are eager to help in any way they can. Might be a good idea to start a build thread here because those who use your link, if they are not members of Garrison Carida, they will need to sign up to gain access to your forums first. Keep us posted of your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi Stephanie! Welcome to FISD! As Andrew said, it may be good to copy and paste some of your Garrison build thread content to one on here so we can check it out without registering for a Carida forum account. Good luck on your journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Brick[TK] Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi Stephanie and welcome aboard future Trooper! Have a read in the “Getting Started-Read this First” section, as there is some really good info in there for new members. Then, have a read in “Costuming and Builds” section to discover other troopers who are building (or have built) the same armor as you! Really good tips, examples, pictures, previously answered questions, and successes here. In addition to looking at all the various build threads, I highly recommend checking out the “Advanced Tactics” section where you can see examples of those who have taken their armor to the next levels of screen accuracy (EIB and Centurion). I’d recommend that you aim to build to one of the certification levels, as TK’s look their best at these levels. It's really not hard to acquire EIB or Centurion, and it’s best to do during your build rather that after. If, and when, you’re looking for other bits –and-pieces, accessories, boots, blasters, electronics, etc., be sure to check out the “Imperial Commissary/PX” section for items for sale, project runs, and for other stuff that most of the troopers use. Also, keep in contact with your local Garrison. They’ll help guide you through the process of becoming a member of the 501st, and may have local Armor Parties in the works where you can get hands-on build advice and guidance, not to mention meet members of your future Garrison. Post lots of pictures and questions in your build thread. We are all here to help you out and to make sure you look your best, and represent the 501st as best as possible. All the best on your TK journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
