Very excited

[thefifthscallop]

I've always wanted to be an Imperial officer or trooper(scout that is). I'm very eager to learn from this community how to make it happen.

A little about myself....

I'm a 27 year old Human Male living in Portland, Oregon.
The first time I can remember seeing Star Wars was in the mid 90s at my cousins house. Then when the re-release came out in 97, and my mom took my brothers and I to the theater and needless to say, I became obsessed. I started collecting everything I could, and watching the movies at nauseam.
I took some time off from being a serious fan after Revenge of the Sith came out, but I always had a deep love for everything Star Wars, including those lousy(from a certain point of view) prequels.
About a year before The Force Awakens came out, the obsession bug bit me again, and I've been back since.

Hope to get to know all of you, and eventually participate in some events!

This may sound stupid, but how do I get started building my armor?

[Jabbasdead]

Depends on what your building.

[Jabbasdead]

What are you building and what do you currently have?

The best first step is to sign up with the appropriate detachment forum. You can find a list of them here

They'll have loads of information for the specific costume you want to make. If you wanted to go with scout armor, then the Pathfinders are the detachment you're looking for.

I would like to be an Imperial Officer, or a biker scout. I have nothing so far.

Officer will be easier and less expense compared to TB, both are great costumes.
Have fun with whatever you choose!
