Tympanic Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 Hi all, I am very much at the start of my journey with FISD, but I am looking forward to being here for a long time. I am 36 years old and I work in IT. In the past, I have looked into the 501st quite a few times but it was often not in my budget to build or purchase a good kit. I am now looking to get into it, even if it may take a while before I get to complete it. After that, I will join a regiment in The Netherlands. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. 2 Quote

Here's a great thread with lots of useful info when getting started! What kits have you looked into so far? I have mostly been looking at RS, as they are EU (UK) based. I am interested in stormtrooper from A New Hope. My plan for now is to buy it in steps, in order to not spend 1000+ at once. I have been advised to check Facebook for other builds and suppliers but I don't like Facebook so I won't be using it. I hope that doesn't hamstring me too much.. Thanks for the warm welcome. 1 Quote

Hesikaya[TK] Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 Welcome Tympanic, There's a load of resources around here and you're in great company. It took me a couple years to build my kit but once you get rolling, it will become a fun and challenging task And before you know it, you'll have a full set of armor. 1 Quote
