Hey everyone. I am a 26 year old guy in Lafayette, IN looking to get started in the 501st! After doing some hard thinking about what armor I would like to have, I decided on the impressive looking Biker Scout! However, I have NO IDEA what I am getting myself into. What I do know is I have the time, the money, and the drive to get my own set of armor going. Is there anyone anywhere near Lafayette that would be willing to allow me to see their armor?
Also, I have done some research and found a couple of sites that help build your own armor, but I am very much out of my element here and have no idea how to get started... Do most people actually make their own armor? Or do you buy it? I've also heard there are kits, but really not sure about those either. Any tips would really help
