Looking to join! (Raleigh County, WV)

Post by _imperialbzy »

Hello!

My name is Tyler. I am 24 and live in Raleigh County. I have been a Star Wars fan since I was around 7 years old! I’ve been interested in joining the 501st for a while. The costume I’m interested in first is the Narkina 5 inmate. Is Keep Trooping a good vendor to start looking into for building the outfit? Any help is welcome. :D

Welcome Tyler. Our numbers are low down here in the southern part of the state (I'm in Greenbrier Co). We'll be really happy to have you.

Tyler,

First off, welcome to the 501st and Garrison Corellia. You will find your experiences with this group to be not only fun, but also at times inspiring. We seek to not only have a great time while in and out of costume, but we believe in giving back to the community through our participation in events like Relay for Life, Special Olympics and Children's hospital visits. As you familiarize yourself with our forums, please note that I have created a build thread for you here (viewtopic.php?t=1409) for you to record the progress on your costumes and ask any questions as they arise. As you peruse the forums, you will find all sorts of useful information. Feel free to post questions in any of the threads available to you and if you can't find an answer to something specific, don't hesitate to ask. This Garrison is great about helping out new cadets with whatever issues they might have.

Since you are wanting to do a Narkina 5 prisoner costume, my first suggestion is to join the Underworld Detachment at https://501stunderworld.com/forums/index.php?/login/. You will find that forum an invaluable resources for all things Narkina 5 prisoner related. I would suggest you start by simply reading through some of the threads and becoming familiar with the terms and possibilities. You will also need to familiarize yourself with the CRL as it is the guide that we go by for approval of any costume. There are currently 3 variations of Narkina 5 prisoner that you can choose:

Narkina 5 Floor Manager: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Cos ... or_Manager
Narkina 5 Inmate: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Cos ... a_5_Inmate
Narkina 5 Medic: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Cos ... na_5_Medic


I have assigned James Welsh as your advisor. As for suggestions as to where to source your costume, Keep Trooping does have the costume, but from what I understand, they are sold only in standard sizes and orders are only taken at the beginning of each month. One of the other options for sourcing this costume in any of the variants is a former Garrison member, who now lives in Pittsburgh and is part of Starkiller Garrison, David McIntyre. He is the costume model for the CRL of the Floor Manager costume and has made the costume for many of the members here in our garrison. His prices are reasonable and he custom makes them to your measurements. If you would like more information on how to contact him, just let me know.

I look forward to assisting you in becoming a member of this great garrison.

David McIntyre created my approved Floor Manager costume so I can attest to the accuracy of his work.
