newbie - scoot040 - Sunday 23-Feb-2014
[attachment=2069]Hi everyone I am from Nambour on the sunny coast I was wondering if there is anyone around who would be able to help me where I can get a uniform and do they make them for people like myself who are of a bulky nature. I am the one in the hat

Gday scoot040 firstly are you interested in becoming a stormtrooper or some other character? there is a large range to choose from http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRL . Also we have a few guys up in the sunny coast area.

Hi and welcome.
Being of a slightly 'bulky' build as you put it, the Biker Scout or Snowtrooper will probably be a better option for you anyway, instead of a Stormtrooper.
Although Stormtrooper Armour can come in different sizes, they don't differ that much, and some guys with larger builds can struggle to make the pieces fit them properly.
As the Biker Scout and Snowtrooper have more 'softer' parts to them, it is easier to make them fit any body shape.
I reckon these are a great choice for you.
We have a few biker scouts and Snowtroopers in our group, who should be able to help you out.
There are also specific detachments with lots of great info to tell you what you need.
Next time someone has an armour party, or next time we're trooping, come along and meet us, see what we do, and ask lots of questions about how to get yourself a costume.

Welcome to the Redbacks.
Agree with sith princess, bikerscout or snow trooper is a good choice for the bulkier boys. Pathfinders detachment is the place to go. Some of us are also in the process of finishing scouts off. Studio Creations is the place to go for the armour, and then some of the soft parts you can get locally and online. Ask first though before you buy anything,there are sites out there who say they are 501st approved but actually aren't. We would hate to see you waste money.

Glad you found us, Scoot!
I grew up in Nambour, (but now live in Brissy!) - We're starting to get more and more troopers from the coast! It's great fun!
RE: newbie - TheWolf - Sunday 23-Feb-2014
Welcome. The scout is a good costume. Looks great, is easy to build, and has pockets....

Us Sunny Coasters are growing in numbers... Look out Brissy!
I have a scout and I love it to bits. Not much I can add but a hi & a welcome. MammaSith summed it up pretty well with where to go for things

I'd say probably not based on the CRL

You need Brittish BDU's for the undersuit, it then also needs to be heavily modified.
Dyed charcoal/black,
Extra pockets added,
Suede thigh patches.
The armour is also very specific, and not just a Biker Scout painted green.
