Chrisbremen Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Last weekend I spent all weekend taking as many pictures of everyone I could find at AwesomeCon. Sitting at home looking through all my pictures, I thought to myself "Man I want to make my own suit." So here I am, I know its going to be a long process. Its going to take me a bit to scrap together the cost, but hey that gives me time to research. I love the look of the scout troopers so that is what I am going to work towards. Thanks for letting me join. Sincerely, Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Welcome to the BS.N forest Chris! That's great you had the opportunity to see the troopers at AwesomeCon. You've come to the right place as this is the place for all things Pathfinder. I would encourage you to contact your local garrison which for you would be the Garrison Tyranus at www.garrisontyranus.com . There you can meet local troopers who can assist you in becoming a member of the 501st Pathfinders. Research is the best place to start and this place is chock full of great information and there is much to learn. You'll need a minimum of five posts to access the trade forum so head out, look around and introduce yourself. If you have any questions feel free to post up as there are a host of helpful, knowledgeable folks here that are always willing to help. Again, welcome and please let us know if we can be of help.

Chrisbremen Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yes sir, I registered with them the same time I registered here. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWatchdog Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I decided to join right after Awesomecon as well. We aren't in the same garrison, but Woodbridge isn't that far from me (maybe an hour or less). I'll keep my eye out for any local armor parties up my way and shoot you a message about them if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisbremen Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Funny note. While I was at awesomecon I was taking a bunch of pictures of everything Star Wars I could find. When I went to the Garrison Tyranus page to register I noticed that their group picture was exactly like some I had taken, which made me realize that I had actually taken the Garrisons group picture.

Retrofire Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 See! You're already in so you might as well just get your scout armor and join the Legion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikSiks Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I am also working building a TB to join up with Garrison Tyranus. I am down in the Hampton roads area though. Ionly got about 2 weeks head start on you. I can tell you though every question I have had has been asked and answered here or on the GT forums already so I don't post much but read the crap outta what is here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbremen Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yes in just the day or two I have been on here I have tried to go through as many of the posts as I can and have learned a ton already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwattsup Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Welcome Chris to the BSN, and GT soon. Any help you need, I'm here for you. I'm in the Eastern Region, but am just a PM away. We just started an Advanced Recon Team in the Garrison to help support and promote Biker Scouts. Lots of fine people in the NOVA area to help you out. I highly suggest attending a troop and getting to meet some members and start talking shop about the Scout. We love to talk with anyone willing to listen. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisbremen Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I picked up some cloth this weekend so im going to start on the vest. There is a sewing workshop in our garrison this coming sat. that I'm going to so hopefully I can get this started on the right foot. I think i got the wrong cloth for the cumber though, its just a plain white muslin type cloth. Im going to use it to make the cumber anyways and if its not the right kind I'll atleast have experience making it for the next time. Here goes nothing.

I wish our Garrison would have a sewing workshop! What a great idea. I think the cloth for the bund is duck cloth but I'll let a more sewing experienced Pathfinder weigh in on that one.
