Choose which costume you wish to build by visiting the 501st Legion Costuming Reference Library.  There are many advantages and disadvantages to each costume.  Some can be expensive for purchasing parts and some can be hot to wear for long periods while trooping. Whereas others can be less expensive and parts more easily available, more comfortable to wear and you can stay in character longer. 

​

​Now that you have decided what to wear, you have to build it, sew it, put it together and get yourself looking like you are from the Star Wars universe. Join the detachment forum your costume is attached to. The members there have a long history of knowing your costume in detail and can provide unquestionable knowledge. They can assist you with building you costume and start you in a WIP (Work In Progress) thread on the forum. 

Join our forum.  Once your account is up and running, introduce yourself, tell us where you live in Scotland, what costume you are interested in or working on. Starting a WIP will give you a great opportunity to showcase your progress to the rest of the Garrison as well as your assigned armourer and to get constructive feedback throughout your build.

​

Take some high quality photos of you in your costume so that your costume can be approved by the garrison armourer.  Your armourer will inform you if your costume has been approved or not. Once it’s approved, they will provide all the information required on how to join the 501st Legion Forum.​​
