New to the Forum

Hi there, My name is Chris and I'm in Salem. I'm new to the forum and a long time Star Wars fan and learned about the 501st a few years ago. I meet a few of you on the 6th at an event in Keizer and was able to get some information that I have wanted. That being said, I went and ordered a TK armor kit from Anovos that I should get sometime between June-September. If there is anyone in the area that I could meet up with and get some "build advice" I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome Chris!

We have many Anovos TKs in the Garrison, including myself.  Check the Imperial Armor/Stormtrooper Builds board, and also be sure to read FISD at whitearmor.net.

We have several upcoming armor parties.

Here is one in Portland:

There are others upcoming in the Corvallis area.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to the forums Chris!

I'm in Turner (just south of Salem) and while I'm definitely no expert working with armor I am in the middle of building a Captain Phasma and you are certainly welcome to come over and check it out. Feel free to find me on FB or shoot me a FB pm. You definitely came to the right place.

Thanks for the info Daryl. The build party this Sunday sounds awesome.  Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to make it. Josh, I found you on Facebook and sent you a request. Looking forward to getting to know you guys and trooping on the future.

Welcome to the Forum.

Good luck on your build. Like Daryl said check Whitearmor...It will be your best resource and getting familiar with it early will help in the planning process. I found attending some events as a spotter helpful as well. Getting the Behind the scene look type thing. What configurations work well, etc.

Welcome. More TK's is always better.
