I probably won't join as an armored character as I am paralyzed from an auto accident. This makes wearing the armor in my wheelchair quite difficult and from what I could imagine rather uncomfortable. If I could, I have the full Cody Armor that would probably get me pretty darn close to the Legion requirements. (It is a DW Designs build.)
I have had some conversations with the GML and per his suggestions, I may try one of the non armor imperial characters such as an AT-ST Driver, Death Star Gunner or Imperial Navy Trooper. I do have helmets for each of those costumes, I would just need to see if the quality is there for Legion acceptance. Other than the AT-ST, the other two have been purchased from other Legion members so they should be close. I built the AT-ST myself from an RS Props TS kit and I know at this point there are a few simple alterations I would need to get there.
Unfortunately, I am in the midst of the R2-D2 Build and as you can well imagine, his thirst for aluminum parts doesn't always leave much left in the prop/costuming piggy bank. I hope to get there soon and become a full accepted member of the Legion. I like what you folks do and stand for and it is that same sense of giving that helped me make the decision to build Artoo.
In time...
OH...ETA....if you are ever back in town...feel free to shoot me a PM or email, I love to share the collection with other true SW fans.
On a different note...here are a few helmets I have painted up since the collection photo was posted in my original post as well as two great creature busts I just received. The 187th and 442nd where just weathered so they are still waiting on visors and frown mesh.
