When I join I know my reasons Charity I love giving back to my community my love of star wars and how the 501st inspired that 15 year old girl almost 5 years ago ( me ). I knew that's what I wanted to do once I turned 18 .
I just got a TK suit that should get me in at centurion level..waiting on boots and a body suit before starting the application process. I can’t wait to see kids freaking out!!!
@@joefera8947 You over spent. I have connections to people who can 3D print it for 300 get professional paint job to 501st standards for another 120. And you can rig it to be worn yourself or for another 120 i have someone who does that.
i can build a fully functional combat robot but i cant for the life of me figure out how to make something screen accurate. i build for function over foam every time.
Hello my name is kevin and I'm from Colchester Essex England and I'm a massive starwars fan and I love making starwars costumes and I want to have a job and help make costumes for members becsuse I loafs of talent.
Hello and good morning my name is kevin and I'm a massive starwars fan and I love stormtrooper and boba fett and I want to join your costume group and be part of the team and I love to be a action figure
Where can I get me a first-order Clone Trooper outfit for cheap that is just as good as how y'all doing I ordered one but it turned out to be a scam so I'm kind of skeptical right now! Because I wanted to join just for this reason and now that I don't got my first order Trooper outfit I'm kind of bummed out and would you do at a Jedi in I have been told I look like everyone can I be?
Hello and good morning my name is kev storm trooper and I love starwars and I have a stunt trooper replica helmet and armour parts would I be able to join the 501st legion .
Hello my name is Kevin Greenfield and I am a massive starwars fan and I love storm troopers and my dream is to be a real life storm trooper in costume, but I want to be part of the storm trooper and have a helmet and be part of the starwars films, so would i be able to get a screen accurate costume
Hello my name is Kevin Greenfield ok and I'm a massive Star wars fan and I love storm troopers and I want to ask if you can help me with my ESB screen accurate storm trooper helmet?
I cant understand why there is a market for this yet no company sells accurate stuff. Every single member has to build their own costume?! That is a deal killer for me. I've built a really nice Stormtrooper themed Jeep and wanted to join my local garrison and give back to the community. Was hoping to offer the Stormtrooper XJ (jeep) for the charity/community/children's events that they do to give back. But I do not have the time to build a costume, let alone acquire the skills to build a costume then build it. Got too many irons in the fire. Wish they had honorary members or at least somebody you could pay to make you an "authorized" suit
Old comment, but I feel like part of the fun is building your own suit. Its cool to see how each one is customized and unique, and it seems like thats part of the magic. That being said, you can find plenty of used helmets and costumes online. Etsy has a lot of pre made costumes with or without paint
@@thugpug4392 but there are numerous companies that sell them all over the place legally and licensed. The issue is that even the really good ones dont seem to be "up to par" for the 501st here in GA. But also I was kinda wishing a member who makes them would sell them to a potential member, a private sale. Like a yard sale item, dont think there would be much legality
You know what’s funny, I bought a set of armour from the 501st and painted it exact. I then applied and I was told the armour wasn’t good enough. I told them I bought if from them and they kept telling me I didn’t. I even proved it then they banned me. Won’t be joining the 501st again ever.
Decide which costume you want to do and then sign up for the detachment of the character you want to do. The "detachments" are the character-specific web sites we have set up where you can find armor vendors and all the info on how to put it all together. You can find the list of detachments here: www.501st.com/resources.php And stay FAR AWAY from Ebay, Amazon, Etsy or any other web site that claims to make approvable armor. Almost all are scams or sell complete junk. You want to stay away from buying completed/ mass produced costumes. Just about all, even the expensive officially licensed ones, are very inaccurate and very poor quality. Plus, hard armor is not "1 size fits all" and you want to build your costume to fit your body type. Often times our members will sell their old costumes they don't want anymore. If you go that route and buy one, you want to make sure that the seller is close to your body type. But even then, you might still have to make some modifications. Also, keep in mind that this is an expensive hobby. Expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $5,000 USD, depending on the costume.
@@bandit8436 etsy doesn't produce the best quality. That's why we have vetted people to buy costume parts from. Feel free to join and become a vetted vendor, but we strongly discourage members from buying off etsy, and 3D printed material isn't usually a better choice.

This is not a cheap hobby. A First Order stormtrooper costume is well over $2,000 USD. Register for the forums at whitearmor.net to learn more.
Original series is the only way to go
AMEN, dude, AMEN 😪, todays SW sagas are a shame

You can if you have the money, look up RS Propmaster complete kits for TKs, you give them measurements and voila

Selling the costumes has potential legal issues since the characters are property of Lucasfilm.

501st legion is clone legion and part of galactic empire
The real life 501st came first and was started in 1997. The clones were named in honor of this club.
This is so cool. too bad I do not live there with you in the US.
Pretty sure that they have chapters of the 501st all over the world.
The 501st does have Garrisons and Squads all over the world, not just the US. Go to the 501st Website and search your area for a local garrison.
Yyyuuuupppp, we're international. Check 501st.com for more information.

Hello kevin, look up a website called the dented helmet, or the 501st legion forums. There you will find your answers from other troppers.

If I do something I would go out by a storm trooper costume go to Disneyland and the light on the back I’m just a midget trust me I’m 8 years old
the 501 kick people out for no reason
Not true at all. If a member is removed then there is a reason. Unless this is over a specific case, that's the general answer.
