Welcome to the forums @Danni-Gray! Hope to catch up at one of the upcoming events!

Hi & welcome to the forums, Danni. We look forward to meeting up with you sometime soon at an event for a chat about your costuume build progress.

Hello @DarthLumbergh There is no reqirement for the pet hardware cord to be used for the belt for the basic clearnace. For that cord it was marked as an optional lvl 2 clearance, most likely for it beening extremely rare to unavaiable nowdays. As long as the cord used is a 3 strand (black-brown-beige) braided, is a light polypropylene cord and meets the reqiurements of the crl. You should be good for basic clearance into the 501st. As for where to get the rope I would have assumed most maratime shops and sites or outdoor adventure shops would stock these. Though I could not tell you what color Variations they would have.

hey everyone, few of you guys already know me as a mando builder in the Mando Protectors - im currently going for a canon build and building an MS2 Boba and need some pointers on the girth belt, if theres anyone here that has already built it. i see that a lot of the basic level of approval use the pet hardware cord for making their own, however this doesnt appear to be available any longer. can you let me know if there are any other alternatives or which cord do i need to use to make the screen accurate version. have already asked in TBG, so hoping for some local pointers

Hi there, Requesting crew access please Thanks

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction, I really appreciate the help.

Hello Danni, Welcome to the forum, I see that you have several kits on the go already. So I'm looking forward to seeing those submissions. Though you can still get involved with the garrison and get to know our members by signing up to events as a crew member. It's a great way to see how things work on a troop, but more so to help our visually impaired troopers to navigate. To get the ball rolling on that, if not done done so already. Head over to the the Crew Rank Request. From there you can request access and you will be able to see our upcoming events that you can sign up to. I would also suggest a read over the welcome topic Welcome new members, this will give you a good base of knowledge to get you going. After that if you have any issues, questions or just need advice on kits. Everyone here would be more than happy to help where they can. Also seen your doing a shoretrooper, which is great as there are a good few of us in the process of completing various versions of that kit. With 2 that have already been cleared by our members. So there is plenty of fresh help and info here for that kit. I would definitely take a look at the Shoretrooper Group Build Thread Other than that, welcome again and hopefully we will see you out at one of the events soon. BM

Hi everyone, My name's Danielle or Danni. I've been working up the courage to join the forums for at least a year at this stage! I spoke to some of the guys here at comic con in Belfast in September 24 and fully intended to have my costume finished and signed up by the end of the year but life got in the way. It was a scout trooper, I still hadn't decided but I was leaning towards the Mando version. This year though, or rather 2026 at this stage, I'm committing to getting the costumes I'm working on done. I have a FO tie pilot which belonged to a former 501st member before he passed away. It was previously approved but needs new gloves and some small adjustments before it could be approved on me. That's top of the agenda for me. Following that, I have the previously mentioned scout and a shore trooper in the works along with an animated phase 1 commander Bly, but it's very much in the early stages. Looking forward to hopefully getting approved and trooping in 2026!

hi I have a ISB officer just looking up want troops you do and seeing if I can fit one in around work

Hi David, Welcome to the IG forums, it's great to hear of your plans for 2026. We look forward to seeing you at events in the new year. I'm curious to see what costumes you will be bringing.

hi all hopping to do some troops outside on England next year and hopping to pop over to Ireland if I can work dates out whit work so hope to see some of you next year

Welcome Neda. Great to see you here on the forums. See you at a future troop.

Hey Pete, Thanks for dropping in here. I've checked & at the moment, we've no troops in the book for Dec yet & the 1st one in January is 17th & 18th Jan in Dublin. Hopefully something will come up while you're home. If not, we'll try to meet up with you guys while you're here.

Hi team. TK-14677 (also an ID). From Monkstown Co Dublin but been over in NZ for 18 years now. Heading back to the homeland for Xmas and NY with the wife and son (14yo and GA member). Would love to try to meet up with some of you (or maybe troop if anything is going on). Arriving Dec 19 and leaving Jan 13. I’m probably friend with some of you on the old FaceBook!

Welcome Neda, looking forward to you joining us on upcoming events

Hello Neda, Welcome to the forum, and we always welcome anyone wanting to crew. It's a great way to see how things work on a troop, but more so to help our visually impaired troopers to navigate. To get the ball rolling on that, if not done done so already. Head over to the the Crew Rank Request , from there request access and you will be able to see our upcoming events you can sign up to. Also I would suggest a read over the welcome topic Welcome new members , this will give you a good base of knowledge to get you going. As for your first kit, our members have a wide variety and always happy to help. An easy one to start off with would be a run of the mill Stormtrooper, due to its popularity they are easy to come by, ether via a DIY kit or pre-made. Just to note, there are plenty of resources out there to help with a DIY kit. Or go with what character drew you to starwars. Either way choice is yours. FYI we need more Clone Troopers Look forward to seeing you at a troop in the future and your first kit clearance. BM

Hi everyone! I'm Neda with the Guild of Nerds, looking forward to joining as crew with all you lovely folks! I'm currently looking into getting a character sorted but I'm being a bit fussy rn

Hey Jessica, unfortunately I must work on Monday, so I won't be able to travel to Dublin that day. I hope you both have a great time at the game, and maybe some of our closer troopers might be able to meet you!

Hello there, I will be back in Dublin, this time with my hubby for the NFL game on the 28th. We will stay until Tuesday, September 30th. Is anyone interested in meeting each other on Monday? Please let me know and we will bring some German merch with us. Many greetings, Jessica

Done and congratulations on your first troop with us @yoshix!
