PunkRocketScience Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi Joanna- What costume are you interested in doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutz Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Welcome Joanna. Here's some info you might find useful: • The first step in getting your costume is deciding on which one suits you. There are many different costumes, all varying in cost, comfort and many other factors. Costumes can range from a couple hundred dollars on the low end (e.g. Imperial Crew Uniform) to several thousand on the high end (e.g. Fett, Vader). Fabric costumes tend to be the most comfortable and give the most freedom of movement, with the hard armor costumes (stormtrooper, clonetrooper, etc.) being the least comfortable and most restricting. • We have a CRL (Costume Reference Library) that contains Visual Guides for every costume in the Legion. These are the standards you will need to meet with your costume. Here is the list of Visual Guides by detachment, and an alphabetical list by costume:http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLhttp://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbyname • Each costume type has a Detachment. Detachments are websites for members or potential members looking to build that particular costume. It’s there you can find out where to buy kits and parts, and everything you need to know about how to assemble the costume. Here is a list of all the detachments.http://www.501st.com/members/displayUnits.php#detachments The detachment should be your first stop, and you will spend a lot of time there researching your costume. You should not make any purchases without getting the OK from the detachment to make sure it is acceptable for membership. Many items can be purchased directly from the “For Sale” section on the detachment website. Once you get started on your costume build, you should start a WIP (Work in Progress) thread on the detachment forum. As you post your progress, the members will help steer you in the right direction. That will help ensure that when the costume come to me for approval, it won’t require time consuming or costly revisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
