  2. Welcome Jess!!!
  3. Welcome Graham. Sorry I never got to chat with you at Relay!
  4. Welcome Graham. It's great to have both yourself & Jess here.
  5. Great to see you here, Jess. Well get a costume for you soon enough
  6. Welcome to the forums Jess! Thanks for all the help at Relay, and looking forward to seeing you at future troops.
  7. Looking forward to seeing you at more events in the future Graham, and thanks again for helping out at Relay
  8. Welcome Sean! Always great to have another TK. A great kit and always incredibly well received and recognisable. Chris definitely has some great feedback there. Personally, I have two kits from RWA and cannot praise Ross enough. Keep us in the loops, lots of people here who can help.
  9. Hello Graham and welcome to the forum. I've updated your status to Crew so potentially we can collaborate on other events in the future.
  10. Hey Jess - was great to have you at the relay. I have updated your forum access to Crew, so maybe we can coordinate on other events in the future.
  11. Welcome, Jess.
  12. Welcome aboard Jess
  13. Hi everyone! I'm Jess, I'm part of the Guild of Nerds crew, you'll usually see me sprinting from one place to another on con floors. I had a great time meeting some of you down at the relay in Wexford! No plans to armor up just yet lol, but I’m joining as crew and happy to help at events where needed. I’m really looking forward to helping out more!
  14. Welcome Graham, we can always do with getting more clones here. Just saying
  15. Welcome aboard Graham
  16. Earlier
  17. Hi folks Graham here. Had fun hanging with everyone down at the relay. I am the owner of Guild of Nerds. We have a few 501st members in our own ranks so figured it would be good for me to join in here and offer my services as crew for when the Guild is not in attendance or if I just want to escape my minions for a while. No immediate plans to start filling my house with stormtrooper suits but I could be persuaded to have a shot at a General Grievous costume some time. Till then maybe we can build a suit for Pikachu. He might look snazzy with some dark side robes.
  18. That budget should cover it nicely if going the self build route, starting a build thread here can be very useful too, it can help to save a few coins (and costly mistakes), also we can offer great tips along the way, with a few diy skills you will fly it What E11 kit were you thinking, resin kit or 3d print?, I think I have a spare Doopy doo’s kit (resin) somewhere. Here is my number if you want to reach out on WhatsApp for any advise:-0879699304 Kind regards Chris
  19. Welcome @Swifty Much like the rest said a TK is a good starter. But I have a feeling your ambitious, why not a better class of trooper and build a clone . Seriously though TK is a good starting point. I look forward to seeing and hearing about your progress. In the meantime I would definitely look into getting crewing status on here if you have not done so already and then you can join in on some of our upcoming troops. Look forward to seeing you about at the troops
  20. I definitely think I'm going to give "the shed of glittering delights" a shout. I'd like to say money is no object, but sadly even this I have to give a budget too. I'm hoping to keep it around 1.5k... ish. I'm pretty hands on and probably capable of building a kit, but also just letting someone else do it would be nice. Will definitely get an E-11 kit though.
  21. Welcome aboard Sean, a Stormtrooper is an excellent choice for a costume, you can’t go wrong there, it was my first costume and still gets the most use, the smiles on people’s faces never grow old. I would also highly recommend ‘the shed of glittering delights’ (DA props) on Facebook (now based in France), Andy is a nice person to deal with, his kits are accurate and of good quality, I guess it depends on budget, there many makers to choose from, RWA is also excellent but being UK based you have to deal customs fees and such, if money is no object then some go for RS Props, probably considered the most accurate (warts and all), to the untrained eye though (and the public) there is very little difference in appearance between all the recommended (recognised) makers though We can give you loads of help and support here if you go for a kit to build, ready made kits are also available but will often still need alterations for a comfortable fit, personally I have built many TK’s (the name we often use for Stormtroopers) so I have a bit of knowledge in this area. Be sure to also check out FISD detachment of the 501st, it is the ‘go to’ site for everything concerning Stormtroopers, lots of up to date info, build threads etc. whatever you decide we are here to help and support you on your journey
  22. Welcome to the forum Seán @Swifty!
  23. Perfect. We tend to use messanger for conversations in Legion. Thanks for the friend request
  24. Ah nice one! Just sent you a friend request there. I don't use FB much, but you can catch me on messenger.
  25. Welcome Seán. It was myself you spoke to on Saturday in Dundalk. It's great to see you here on the forums & great to see the qr code is being put to good use at cons. For a stormtrooper (TK), I mentioned the shed of glittering delights on Facebook as he's based in France while other makers are based in mainland UK or Jersey (RS props, Shepperton & RWA creations). My fb is facebook.com/tk18170
  26. That's actually such a good idea! Hadn't thought of that, thanks!
  27. Welcome Seán, I'm sure some of our Stormtroopers can point you in the right direction of a kit. One thing to bear in mind - many of our members have started with a standard Stormie in the past, and then as it becomes worn and a little yellowed as time goes by have converted it to a sand trooper. There is certainly also the potential to later convert one to a Mimban trooper in the future in the same style!
