Nevermind, AP was having trouble with their email service. I have received the pricing and ordering guides.

First i would lie to thank everyone for the welcome. Secondly, I have already emailed and recieved a reply about Authenticprop kits, and found a lot of the stuff I'm going to need at trooperbay.com and imperialboots.com, (who knew there was something like that!) I feel confident that I can get all the accessories and bits I'm going to need. I have even been researching weathering here and on Youtube. But, probably through some fault of my own, I still can't seem to find any pricing on the approved 501st armor kits themselves. AP sent me pictures of different kits and even included which items are not provided that I will have to procure myself, but no ordering guide, or pricing guide. Do I need to email them again to let them know that I am serious, or is there a site I don't know of that I need to visit to actually shop? Again, I appreciate your help. I wasn't expecting such a quick and warm reception.

Thanks Beren, that definitely pushed me in the right direction. Hope you guys will be seeing more of me soon.

Hello, I hope this is posted in the right forum. If it is not please, if you can, point me in the right direction. I am a 33 year old college student and hotel restaurant manager, and I have been interested in joining the 501st for a long time. I have decided that it is time to start giving it a real go, but I am starting from absolute zero. I was hoping you troopers could point me in the right direction. Of course I have some specific questions, but if you have other info I didn't think to ask I would appreciate any feedback. 1. Do you guys buy premade costume armor that you later modify, and if so, what armors are acceptable/best to work with? 2. If you do buy then modify, do you have any reputable sources of purchase? 3. Where can I find more information on armor acquisition so I don't have to bug you guys about it, (unless this is the right place!) 4. Lastly, if these are from scratch builds, how does one go about getting started doing that? I am really interested in getting this information, and am glad for any and all information you can provide. Remember, I'm a beginner, but I won't stay that way! SandyShorts
