Hi from the Sunny Central Coast of California!
Hello!
I'm hoping to start my first foray into the world of Trooping. My goal is to get a snow trooper suit and join the 501st (a dream I've had since I was a kid). All said and done I'd like to have it done before the first of the year! I'm a WWII reenactor so I'm no stranger to spending exorbitant amounts of money to try and be as accurate as possible.
Unlike Reenacting it seems like the vendors for armor and so forth in the trooping world are a bit more hush-hush and not as obvious. Looked at Star Fortress and was excited, then I learned not to be.
Anyway, I can't wait to get started and I'm looking for all the pointers and help I can get!

Re: Hi from the Sunny Central Coast of California!
Also, Is there a current listing of the approved vendors? And any idea of the cost for an armor set?

Heheheee...
Welcome!! If you did receive a frosty response that's the right one!!
Being state side you should be able to source an armour kit and boots for not a huge cost, we can help you with that. We don't have that many armour suppliers to Blizzard Force but the few we do have are excellent. Do ask us before you purchase anything....avoid ebay unless the item gets the OK from an approved member or better still our command staff.
Good luck, stay frosty!

Re: Hi from the Sunny Central Coast of California!
Thanks a lot Rachel. I'm planning on buying my soft parts this week and making my own duster. Are there any reputable dealers for E-11's? And in terms who would you recommend? Thanks!
