Hi all,
I'm moving to Ann Arbor this summer, and have been interested in getting into Star Wars costuming for some time. I've done smaller various costumes for things like Renaissance Fair, comic-cons, and Halloween parties, but I'm thinking it's time to start slowly working towards a full costume and volunteering with the 501st. I was wondering if there are any folks on here from the vicinity of Ann Arbor? I'm interested in building a TK/ANH Stormtrooper costume but I'm still trying to figure out budgeting, what I should buy first, and who to buy from, so I figured talking to someone local once I get settled in my new place would be a good start.
Thanks all!
Hello from a soon-to-be Ann Arbor resident!

Hello! Yeah, we have some members around the Ann Arbor area, but to start your research, everything possible you'd ever want to know about how to build a 501st level Stormtrooper can be found here, including which armor kit vendors are good ones and so forth:

Ok, yeah, I'll definitely make an account there too. I'm really impressed with how many guides and build threads there are on the FISD forum! That's one of the main reasons I decided to go with a TK armor, because there are a lot of documented successful builds I can hopefully use as guidance.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Also in the A2 area and able to answer any questions you might have. TK armor is fun and fairly easy to build.
