Welcome 
Great to see you've got a costume in mind, now all you have to do is decide on which movie version you'll build (there's slight variations to each version of the classic TK)
I cannot second the advice above enough when it comes to asking on here before buying anything you see advertised online, there's a lot of suits out there claiming to be 501st Legion approved, but that don't make the grade, or cost more time and money than it's worth to get them up to scratch...
The type of kit you'll need will depend on a few things, but this is Muppet's thread on the main armour makers our gear comes from:

We're spread right across Queensland (like Angelman, I'm also located in Rocky) if you let us know where you're from, then some of the troopers close to you can let you know about events near you, and chances to meet the guys, ask questions etc. because there's a few pitfalls that can catch recruits out (especially when it comes to dodgy claims by ebay sellers) and it's a great way to meet new friends and share our love of Star Wars
You'll find everyone on here is super helpful, and whatever question you have, someone in the Redbacks will know the answer, all you need to do is ask
