  1. Hello Cian! Welcome to this hive of scum and villainy. Two excellent kits, both fan favourites. Is that one of your kits in the profile picture? If you need any help or guidance on the kits, feel free to drop us a message. There are some fantastic forums and reference pictures available.
  2. Allez les Bleus! Very good - hopefully we might see you on Saturday or Sunday in Dublin
  3. Hello @julovitch and welcome to our Forum and Ireland! Yes indeed it is possible to request access, which can be done here: Also, if you wish to transfer under the Irish Garrison for your time in Ireland, we can also look at that with your home Garrison and the Captain of the Guard at legion level, if you wish. Also, it may be beneficial to update your legion details on your forum profile. This can be found here, at the top right (if using desktop browser), the drop down will bring you to your profile: Where you can select edit profile: and update your legion details: Either way, you'd be more than welcome!
  4. Hello Jim! Will you be touring other parts of the country or just Dublin? Either way - hopefully you have a great time and get to meet some of the garrison!
  5. Hello Hilmir (and Benedikt)! Thanks so much for reaching out to us. It would be great to try and meet when you are here. I am not based in Dublin, but the majority of our members are. Hopefully calendars will align for a meet up and “a pint” or two
  6. Only one word - yes. can always do with more shadow scouts
  7. It is a shame you are not here until the 10th Sept as we have a con in Dublin where a number of us will be in attendance.
  8. No worries - I’ve sent you a PM
  9. Welcome Shane! Another TK would be great! I’m not biased at all though
  10. Hello Mark! can never have too many Tuscan Raiders! Welcome to the group - look forward to seeing your build. if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
  11. Hello Arejias! I’ve dropped a message to our messenger chat to check if anyone is around on those days. We’re definitely on the smaller side of things garrison size wise. Hopefully one of those days work for people - either way - hope you have an amazing time in Ireland!
  12. Welcome Keith!!! Little late posting but if you have any questions definitely drop a message here, more than happy to help! I’ll drop you a PM in terms of kits!
  13. It’s about a 2 - 2.5 hour drive! what is the plan for Kilkenny? May be able to meet for lunch one of those days
  14. That’s a pain. Definitely keep us updated as to your movements and when you know, where you’ll be on what days! Hope it works out.
  15. Hello and welcome! We’re a friendly bunch so definitely do not hesitate to ask us any questions at all! Great kit choices!
  16. Hello and welcome! Delighted to hear we left an impression! It sounds like everyone had a great time during the film festival. Hope to be there next year myself. If you have any questions, definitely post them here - we tend to be a helpful bunch! Looking forward to seeing how things go and meeting you at future troops!
  17. Hello and welcome! My name is Richard and I am one of the Garrison Membership Liaison. Can never have enough TKs! Very iconic and for street troops, or for those who are not avid fans of Star Wars, one of the most recognisable kits from sci-fi in general. Similarly, inquisitors are amazing and would be a great addition. I don’t think we currently have one in the garrison. Some additional information for you: The detachment websites are a great source for additional tips tricks and vendor details as well as the costume reference libraries (CRL) Starship Eclipse: https://www.theflagshipeclipse.com https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FlagshipEclipse_CRL FISD: https://www.whitearmor.net https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL Additionally, the main legion website can be an excellent source as well. while broader in scope, does also offer a significant amount of information: https://www.501st.com/forum/ Please keep us up to date on your journey. I initially started out with the thoughts of a Vader but was swayed to a Stormtrooper, which was quickly followed by a Shadow Scout.
  18. Hello and welcome! My name is Richard and I am one of the Garrison Membership Liaison. You have definitely picked an iconic character indeed, a challenge, but an amazing one. Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience and hope it doesn't deter you in the long run. Some additional information for you: Each kit or costume is part of a detachment, which manages its own "Costume Reference Library" or CRL. Boba Fett would be part of the Bounty Hunters Guild (BHG) referenced above. Their CRLs can be found here and cover a wide range of bounty hunters whom appear in various Star Wars media: https://databank.501st.com/databank/BHG_CRL The main CRL page can be found here with the full list of detachments and under these, their kits: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbydetachment (FISD for Stormtroopers, Sith Lord Detachment for Vader etc.) The CRL or movie quality standard is the "goal" for joining the 501st, however, is not necessarily the goal for everyone who just want's to kit up and feel like the boss. Additionally, the detachments have their own website which would be an excellent resource for those more particular questions around vendors, assembly, etc. right the way down to the correct colour code for that perfect screen accurate finish. https://thebhg.net/ Additionally, the main legion website can be an excellent source as well. while broader in scope, does also offer a significant amount of information: https://www.501st.com/forum/ Finally, Bobamaker is definitely the premium when it comes to Boba Fett armor and is widely regarded as among (if not the) best, however, if you visit the BHG website or main 501st forums you can find additional vendors listed there. Please keep us up to date on your journey. I initially started out with the hopes of a Vader but was swayed to a Stormtrooper, which was quickly followed by a Shadow Scout.
  19. Exciting times! Hope you have a good one Checking if you're still planning to stop in Kilkenny during your trip? I'll probably be there for work on the 24th and could swing by!
  20. Hello Michael and welcome! Im Richard and one of the Garrison Member Liaison. I’m based in Waterford myself and have a Shadow Scout and ANH Stormtrooper. RSprops is definitely a good one - I’ll drop you a message shortly. Keep an eye on the events calendar also. Great way to meet and greet in person!
  21. What’s your schedule for the week?
  22. Welcome to Ireland! While I’m not based in Dublin myself, a large number of our garrison is. Hope you enjoy your stay!
  23. Hello and Welcome Fernando! Great to e-meet you and look forward to meeting you in person. We have a number of events coming up, next one being Cosmic Rebels Con, Sunday April 24th, in Enniscorthy, Wexford. It looks to be a well attended event with members from 501st, Rebel Legion and Reel Icons attending. Crew are always greatly appreciated, or even to meet and have a chat with the group. I'm certain some of our Rebel Legion members could assist with sourcing materials etc. although, if similar to 501st kits, most parts may need to be purchased from providers abroad.
  24. Hello and Welcome! Great to have another Waterford person on here Very friendly bunch, and now that we’re out of lockdown, events are starting to kick back up. As the guys mentioned, no urgency to dive straight into building / commissioning a kit straight away, but when you do, we’re more than happy to provide pointers and advise. Can always do with crew at our events to help support, take awesome photos and help those of us with kits that have limited visibility to, well, see and not bump into things. We have CRC coming up in Enniscorthy so could be a good opportunity to meet and greet in person. I joined with my first kit about a year ago, and hovered around the forums for the bones of 3 or 4 months before kicking that off. Any preferences or favourites?
  25. Welcome! No silly questions here at all. if you have any other queries or anything you’re unsure of, definitely drop a message. More than enough helpful folk here.
