Welcome and Access Information

Welcome, Maeve!

Hey y'all! My name is Maeve (She/Her), I'm 22, I live in Portland. I'm looking to get my foot in the 501st's door by building a standard ESB TK and eventually a weathered ROTJ biker scout or imperial storm commando. Years from now I'm hoping to use ILM's methods and modern materials to create a 1:1 ROTJ Jabba capable of making appearances at cons or parades on a mobile Daimyo throne. Building screen-accurate stormtrooper armor has been my lifelong dream. My love of Star Wars started when I was six years old and my dad showed me the 90s cut of A New Hope on VHS (R.I.P. R2D2's beautiful face). I'm hoping to make some friends and put smiles on faces (mostly my own face). I have lots of questions and will need lots of tips, but I've been saving up for quite some time and I'm finally ready.

Your father raised you right.

Awesome, welcome to Cloud City Garrison! If you haven't visited https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/ yet, be sure to get signed up and start digging through all of the ESB TK builds to really get a good head start on your armor! We'll probably have a few armor parties this summer, so keep an eye out for those if you need help or want to see how others are doing their armor up close.

Yeah I’d love to be at those armor parties. My email is maeveszy@gmail.com if you have the details later on. I’m 6’4” and on the slim side so I was thinking that the “derived” armor parts would be too small. I’m thinking (AM) Dave’s Darkside Depot will probably fit best. Do you know people who use that one?

6'3.5 here and if you're slim build you'll find that most armor kits will still fit. Odds of reaching level 2 and 3 are low but it's good enough for basic level 1 approval. It will involve a delicate balance of exposed black fabric.

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.

Congrats and welcome to the club!!
