Hi Sam, Welcome to the forums. That's great news. We look forward to seeing you troop alongside us later in the year [COVID permitting, of course]. As far as I know, you'll need to get your CO or XO to arrange the transfer within the legion of your TK ID from New Zealand to ourselves. I presume something similar will need to be done on the RL side for your clone. It would be great to have another tusken to go with the growing amount of jawas that we have here.

I suppose the nearest garrison members to yourself would be based in Navan, Drogheda, Galway & Dublin.

Hi Conor & welcome to the forums. Where are you based? There might be a few troopers close to you. I'm sure you've checked out the close troopers CRL pages on the legion website - https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CTN_CRL

About bloody time, dude! ???? Glad to see you here, Jakub

Nice to meet you again, fellow utinni.

Every costume is cleared as 1st level. There's no need or pressure to go for higher level clearance. That's completely up to every trooper. I have a few costumes & only decided recently to try for level 2 'specialist' for my Shadow Scout. All others are clearance level. Most troopers buy a kit & build. Others own a 3d printer & print the parts. That's up to each trooper. Vac formed ABS has some benefits over printed parts as the ABS is less brittle. Really depends on the costume & trooper's choice.

They sound like great costumes. We have one Boba Fett costume in the garrison, but no Jango or Mandos have been cleared yet. They are a tough enough 1st build, but would look epic. Each costume has a CRL or Costume Reference Library, so for example the classic stormtrooper CRL is https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt The legion is divided into various detachments. Have a look at the detachments list on the legion website - https://www.501st.com/detachments.php Each detachment has their own forum where you can check many build threads from around the world that may be of some help to you in your build. So Boba & Jango would be in the Bounty Hunters guild. The Bounty Hunters Guild list of costumes are https://databank.501st.com/databank/BHG_CRL & their forums are http://thebhg.net/ There's some reading to keep you busy for the next while. ????

Hi there & welcome to the forums. We have a nice bunch of tropers in the south east & we look foward to seeing you at troops whenever we are back up & running. As Andrea asked above, we'd love to know what costume you would like to build. Hopefully there wil be a few members that can point you in the right direction.

Hi John & welcome. We had to scrap the old forum a good while back, so every member had to be set back up again on these new forums. By any chance are you the same John that's part of the Great Jawa Horde?

I know our CO, @welshchris77 produces silicone hand guards, if you'd like to ask him about making a pair for you. Keep up the great work.

I love those. Thanks for sharing. #Want Sure I'm only down the road from you in Monasterboice, Co. Louth & I know we also have a member based in Navan.

Hi Damien, Welcome back to the forums. It's great to see you working away on the TK big brown box. I look forward to seeing you at troops, whenever we will be able to attend them. I also love the R2 unit. My inner Jawa would love to have a look at that if you decide to bring it to a troop or a con. What part of the country are you based? We may have troopers nearby that could offer a few pointers whenever we are able to meet up again.

Hi & welcome. Check on the forums here for any TK build threads & also on http://whitearmor.net for more build threads. Hopefully you'll have your TK done when we can start trooping again.

Hi Daniel. Welcome again. We are always thrilled to see new costumes & the spec ops team, Balor's Wolfhunters, will be thrilled to have a new member.

Hi Evan & welcome to the forums. Thanks for the decent list of wants in tour introduction. The best advice is to do the costume you want to do the most. After that, it's down to the rough cost of the kit & if it's within your budget. Many costumes come in kit form, so you can buy the kit & cut it to your own size, so it fits you well. Some vendors also offer a kit assembly option, for more money. I see your option 4 is a tie pilot. One thing about this is you can build a tie reserve costume [with no armour] to get you cleared & ready to troop. Then as more funds are saved, you can add to the costume by buying the armour kit or fully made up to make the full tie pilot. Other costumes don't offer this step up option. We have a few scout troopers in the garrison already with a few more currently being built. We also have two of the shadow scouts as another option. The main decision would be down to yourself when you look at your dream costume, whether you buy the cheaper kit & build it yourself or get someone to help you or if you have the budget to buy one fully made. I hope this helps.

Great costume. Looking forward to trooping with you in the near future

That's great to hear Maddie. I hope to see you at a troop soon.

Hi Harry & welcome to the forums. It's great to have you aboard. FO TK's are always very popular with the public, so it would be great to have another trooper join the ranks. Where in the country are you based? Maybe there is someone nearby that can help.

Welcome Reece to the madhouse. If you know Amy, then you'll fit right in. ???? See you at upcoming troops. We'll get you thinking costumes in no time.

Hi there & welcome JJ. What costumes do you have or plan to have?

Hi all, The plan is to meet in Buswells at 7pm on Saturday 8th Feb. All are welcome to come along for a chat.

I've just added you on FB, Ken. Hopefully, we can meet up on Saturday.

Hi Scott & welcome to the IG forums. Hopefully a few of us can meet up with you when you arrive. Are you from the German Garrison?

Looking forward to trooping with yourself & John soon enough.

Hi & a big welcome to our forums. I hope to troop with you in the near future. Are you living in Dublin or elsewhere in the country?
