Hello from Florida!

[whovianhallows]

hey everyone! Looking into doing a TK build. Happy to be here. Kinda wanna do Captain Phasma, but that also seems like a lot for a first build so I'm not sure.

Hi Lindsay, welcome to FISD, Glad to see you're on te way of build a Stormtrooper Armor.

 

It's important for you to be sure what armor you would like to build as Caleb pointed in the Getting Started section I would recommend you to read the following sections that can help you to get a better idea about the different Armors.

 

The Various Types of Armor 

 

Where do I NOT buy armor?

 

 

The following two Building threads can give you an idea of the TK armor Build vs Capt Phasma Build

 

Stormtrooper Ep4 Building

 

Capt Phasma Building Thrd.

 

Feel free to ask questions and receive suggestions and tips from our experienced Troopers here. We are here to help.

 

Good luck with your project.

 

Cheers

Hi Lindsay and welcome to the FISD!  Captain Phasma may be a tough build but they are amazing costumes when they are finished.  Take a look around the forums and soak it all in.

Welcome to the FISD, Linds!  GREAT to have you here, and know that you are in the right place for your your potential CP build.

Hi Lindsay and welcome aboard future Trooper! 

 

Have a read in the “Getting Started-Read this First” section, as there is some really good info in there for new members.

 

Then, have a read in “Costuming and Builds” section to discover other troopers who are building (or have built) the same armor as you! Really good tips, examples, pictures, previously answered questions, and successes here.

 

In addition to looking at all the various build threads, I highly recommend checking out the “Advanced Tactics” section where you can see examples of those who have taken their armor to the next levels of screen accuracy (EIB and Centurion).  I’d recommend that you aim to build to one of the certification levels, as TK’s look their best at these levels. It's really not hard to acquire EIB or Centurion, and it’s best to do during your build rather that after.

 

If, and when, you’re looking for other bits –and-pieces, accessories, boots, blasters, electronics, etc., be sure to check out the “Imperial Commissary/PX” section for items for sale, project runs, and for other stuff that most of the troopers use.

 

Also, make contact with your local Garrison. They’ll help guide you through the process of becoming a member of the 501^st, and may have local Armor Parties in the works where you can get hands-on build advice and guidance, not to mention meet members of your future Garrison.

 

So, start a build thread here on FISD; post lots of pictures and questions. We are all here to help you out and to make sure you look your best, and represent the 501^st as best as possible.

 

All the best on your TK  or Phasma journey!
