Welcome Zuggy, we are always pleased to have new enthusiasts join us
. Do you have any ideas on what costumes you would like to start with? There are those like the Stormtroopers which are great iconic costumes but do require a fair amount of putting together ( but you will find plenty of people around the garrison who can help you ). Then there are other "simpler" ones like the Reserve Pilot or Rebel Fleet Trooper which can be put together pretty much from off the rack sources. Both types of costumes have their advantages but when choosing something pick a costume that you like.
If you are free on the 18th of May there will be an Armor Party on the south side of Brisbane, these are great opportunities to come along and see armor being worked on and to get ideas on what does and doesn't work from others around the garrison.
Once again welcome and I hope to catch up with you again sometime.
