Sindorin

Greetings! I'm looking to craft my own armor and after looking at the different detachments, I'd like to craft a set of Sandtrooper armor. I really have no idea of where to start, though I do have a rough idea of what the requirements need to be (film accurate, quality materials, etc;). What I need help with is not only where to obtain the kits or materials needed, but also how to fashion it to fit and add the detailed effects (scorch, weather marks, etc;). I would really like to get this started, as it's always been a dream of mine to have my own armor and to join the 501st. Any help would be appreciated!
