Would like to join but know NOTHING of costuming
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2019 5:55 am
Good day all;
I live in Mission, KS. I'm a rabid star wars fan; have been my whole life. I also love the idea of service and helping others; I've been in the service industry or public protection my whole working life. I've wanted to join the 501st since I first heard about it years and years ago, but have never costumed, dont know the first thing about costuming, and am very intimidated by how amazing so many people's outfits look. Video's don't really cut it for me; I'm a hands on sort of guy.
HELP!
Does anyone ever have events or get togethers where they help n00bs like me learn to costume or build? Are there ways to buy any pieces that might be difficult to make, that are still considered official? Is there any other advice or help anyone can give? I saw the resource pin at the top, and I'll start to take a look, but I'd still love to know if there are armor parties to attend or kits I can buy or something else to help a never-costumed-before type of person like me
