Greetings trooper and welcome to the MWG,

well, that really depends on the type of outfit you are looking for. Are you looking to do a stormtrooper, tie pilot, clone trooper??

picking your costume is the first step, the do's and don'ts are a little different with each one.

But by all means, we are an extremely helpful bunch so feel free to reach out to any of us, we'd be glad to help.

One of my buds said doing a TK is a lot easier than a sandtrooper. It's easier to start off as a TK and then you can modify later on to do a sandtrooper. But if you want to do sandtrooper first, then go for it.

First rule of thumb is do not buy from ebay. Do your research, learn about the pros and cons of the different types of armor and what's best for you and your budget.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask us. There's a lot of information available and it can be very intimidating.

As for research join http://whitearmor.net for stormtrooper info and http://mepd.net for sandy info.

Yeah some people go that route because they're very similar others go right into sandys. It really depends on what's right for you and your budget because sandys do take quite a bit more work and money.

Welcome to the Midwest Garrison...definitely check out the TK Detachment. They are a great bunch of folks, very helpful. Definitely, scour whitearmor.net because most if not all of your questions have already been answered. Also, you are moe than welcome to join us at any event even without a costume to get a feel for trooping and actually see armor upclose...heck you may even find some folks are willing to let you try it on. If you have any questions just ask. Welcome to the fight.
