Just ordered my RS Prop Masters ESB armor. I found Whitearmor.net when researching where to purchase armor from. Tons of great advice here which led me to RS Prop Masters. It will be a few weeks before I receive my armor. From there I hope to get accepted in the 501st and start some trooping.
Welcome to the forums, Martin! What part of Sunshine state are you located in? If you haven't done so, I would suggest signing up at the Florida Garrison site. For Basic 501st approval you will need to submit your armor photos to the GML Officer here, and once you get your official TK# you will have access to all the events to attend.
Before you submit, you can post up your photos in the Pre approval area here, and we can help make sure that the process goes smoothly.
