The Imperial Cantina / Just placed the order for my (AM) TK build!

A question for anyone and everyone, how long did it take you to finish your first build? How “finished” did you order your pieces? What tools did you use? I’m planning on using my Dremel and sandpaper, and glue for the lenses.

Congrats and welcome to the club!!

Hello!  Beth here from Kelso, WA.  I'm  DZ-26648, Narkina Prisoner (but incredibly trustworthy and in no way likely to engage in shenanigans) and was just approved to join the Cloud City Garrison. 

This is all very new to me, despite being a long time cosplayer who mainly focuses on Star Wars costumes.  I'll share more in a proper introduction post, but wanted to reply here for access to member areas.

Welcome to Cloud City Garrison and Kashyyyk Base! / Hello from SW Washington!

Hi all! My name is Beth FitzGibbon, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Cloud City Garrison having admired the work of the 501st for a long time after first seeing a troop at Star Wars Weekends back in 2009.  I never thought I would have the courage to apply, but after flying on the Galactic Starcruiser last summer, my desire to feed my Star Wars obsession exploded. 

I've been cosplaying for many years, and while I've made some random costumes, I always return to Star Wars for my source of inspiration. my first (and I hope not last) approved costume is a Narkina 5 Inmate, but I'm already dreaming of what I want to do next (leaning towards Seventh Sister, albeit a very short one!)

I do have a Saja suit I've been working on since last summer, and am hoping to eventually submit to the RL for approval.

In my real world life, I'm retired from a career doing a lot of things related to gaming and entertainment in the tech industry , and now spend time taking care of my husband, who still works full-time, our three dogs and making a lot of things for my etsy shop (pretty much all Galactic Starcruiser related stuff).

I can't wait to have a chance to meet you all in person, and I'll be back in Kelso starting May 11th after a two week trip down to Disney World. I'll be in Black Spire Outpost for May the 4th and happy to pick up anything from there and smuggle it back.  Thank you to Luke and Michael for the warm welcome and hopefully see y'all soon!
Beth

I joined in August of last year, but wasn't able to do any troops before the Census was sent out. And since I answered "Never" to the question "When is the last time that you trooped in your 501st costume?", I got bumped back to Reserve status.

I'm signed up for 2 troops in the next couple of weeks and excited to finally get out there! So what will I need to do to get back to Active status? Just reach out to a GML after a troop?
