Hello Rafael and welcome to the forums, it was nice meeting you at the weekend, your costume looks great, the contact lenses really make it

Hi @Darth Maul Rafa Welcome on board. Was good to meet you at the weekend. As @BandageMonkey said, have a look at the posts he mentioned. Those are a great place to get you started. I look forward to seeing you at one of our future events.

Hi @Darth Maul Rafa! It was great speaking to you guys on Saturday. We're all here if you have any questions in relation to anything. Thanks for reaching out to get involved and I look forward to seeing you at one of our future events. Keith.C

Hello Rafa_DarthMaul and welcome! It was great meeting you at Retro Con and hope you had a great time. I was the guy dressed up as the Temple Guard and General Weir (Shadow Scout) and got a couple of cool photos with yourself. We’d love to get to know you a bit more. Feel free to tell us a little about yourself, what sparked your interest in the 501st, and if you have any plans or ideas for costumes down the line. Or dare I say expand on your current costume of Darth Maul from The Phantom Menace. If so I would highly advise reviewing our Costume Referance Libaray (CRL) of Maul or any of our other listings In the meantime, I’d recommend having a read through the Welcome Post when you get a chance—it’s a great starting point. Also, you might like to head over to the Crew Rank Request post and request crew access. That will open up visibility of upcoming troops and let you sign up as crew. Crewing is a great place to start off. Not only does it give you insight into how our troops are done. It gives you the chance to meet our members outside of the forum. Looking forward to hearing more about you and perhaps seeing you at a troop sometime.

Hi guys, I was on the Retro Con in Wexford on the weekend and I am the Darth Maul. Id like to get involved

Hi Evan, that's a great news! sorry for the late reply. Welcome to our forum. I'm not sure I'll be available, but I'll do my best. Let me try to have your post noticed by the others in the meantime. I'll be in Bray on August 1st for the airshow. If you are interested, that could be an occasion.

Hi everyone! My name is Evan, and my wife Carolyn and I will be visiting Ireland in a couple of weeks (7/26 - 8/3). We’ll be staying near Dublin, based out of County Wicklow, and I wanted to introduce myself to the Irish Garrison. We are members of the Japanese Garrison, and my wife is an Irish citizen. We are also founding members of Japan's first Squad, the Ryukyu Raiders, so we have some rare squad patches/coins/stickers from Okinawa if there's anyone available for a meetup while we're in Ireland. Also, if there happen to be any troops or events during that period, we’d love to hear about them and would be interested in participating if possible. Looking forward to meeting some of you while we’re in Ireland!

Hey Keith, thanks for the replay. June 13th would be perfect if anyone has time. My hotel is called Point A Hotel Dublin, Parnell Street, the address is 17-19 Moore Ln, North City, Dublin, D01 H6K3.

Hi Pascal, Thank you for dropping the above message onto our forum. We're a small group scattered across the country but there's always a chance someone could meet you (possibly the weekend - Sat 13th June). Let us know what part of Dublin you will be staying for the week you are here. If anyone can meet you, they will drop you a message here. Thanks again for the message and I hope you have a great trip. Keith.C

Hi everyone, I'm a member of the Austrian 501st Legion. I'll be in Dublin on holidays from June 9th to 16th. I'd be happy if one or two of you had some time for a drink or a bite to eat. You can find me on Facebook under Pascal Schwabegger or reach me by email at [pascalschwabegger@gmail.com] Cheers, Pascal

Hi Barbara & welcome to the forums. I was thrilled to see you in my jawa in Portmagee at the weekend. I can't wait to see you in your own jawa at a future event.

Hi @Barbara, was great to meet you over the weekend at Portmagee. You done a great job at trooping. Here's hoping to see you at many more down the line.

Hey @Barbara!! Great to meet you in Portmagee and thanks so much for the trooping you did in your Jawa trial run. Looking forward to catching up with you at the next event you're at! All the best! - Keith.C

Lovely to meet you yesterday in Portmagee!! Welcome to the mad house!

Hey, it's Barbara here, Aidan's girlfriend, we met in Comic con Dublin and May the 4th. I am building my jawa costume and have lots of fun with it. I am looking forward to be part of the gang.

Welcome Dermot to the forums. Let us know if you have any preference of cotume you'd like to wear or possibly even build. We can then point you in the right direction. Here's a list of current legion detachments - each one is home to many costumes. Have fun going through all this - https://crls.501st.com/costume-reference-library/costumes-by-detachment Also, why not let us know what area you live as there may be someone near you that can help you in your costuming journey.

Hello @Dermot Sith and welcome! We’d love to get to know you a bit.
