Hi The Sith OverLORD, Thanks for the intro to the costume I've been checking out eBay and the featured websites listed as well... The catch is that the more affordable helmets all come with expensive shipping charges. I think I will have to PM the TIE armor maker to see how will things work out. I guess May would be a little too rush hehe... But anyway, thanks for the help.

Our friend Mansugi may be able to hook you up with Tie armour. myscififan.proboards40.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=mansugiI know it's tough on the wallet to buy armour. When i bought my TK I had to pay for it over three months. Probably best to draw out a schedule and then acquire and assemble the pieces at your own rate. Though having said that, you don't want to take too long. Maybe a year tops if your financially streched.

James your 3rd point sounds interesting. Is your presentation part of your college project as well? A very important note here is that the people who you have targetted to introduce to the 501st Legion MUST have the STRONG INTEREST to make professional quality costume - NO CHEESY costumes please.
Hope you have touched base with Plo Strax-Avix on his proposal. It could speed up your Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot costume project.

Hi Peter, To answer your question, yes it is part of my college project where marks will be given for presentation, creativity and navigation. I know there are a lot of Star Wars fans out there but not to the level of trooping around. Mind if I ask how many Star Wars fellows here at MySciFiFan (Jedi, Imperial, Bounty Hunters etc) are actually involved in trooping? Point taken regarding the important requirement for the costumes. I will highlight it as one of the major criteria requirements for a person to join the Legion. Til we meet, take care

Hi Peter, To answer your question, yes it is part of my college project where marks will be given for presentation, creativity and navigation. Hi James,
To keep this thread On-Topic you can e-mail me and share a bit more about your college presentation. As the Garrison Public Relations Officer of the 501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST, I shall be able to provide you with additional information about the 501st Legion to help you ADD the Edge and Depth to your college presentation.
At the meantime, if you need some data about the 501st Legion, please go and check out :
1. 501st Legion - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS section that I've created in this 501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST forums on 1 February 2007.
2. Inside the Fighting 501st - an 4 page comprehensive Write Up on the 501st Legion by the founding father of Legion, Albin Johnson, himself :
at the main STAR WARS website that covered the formation of the 501st Legion from its humble beginning to until what the 501st Legion is today.Prior to the formation of the 501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST (on 23 January 2006) and REBEL LEGION MALAYSIAN OUTPOST (on 1 February 2006), MySciFiFan has been the ACTIVE CHAMPION of STAR WARS (as well as Star Trek, Lord Of The Rings, Pirates of the Carribean and other Science Fiction & Fantasy genre) costuming and trooping in MALAYSIA. We have been actively participating in various public events since May 2005 which you can check out at the EVENTS section of this forum.
To provide a more specific answer to your question, "Mind if I ask how many Star Wars fellows here at MySciFiFan (Jedi, Imperial, Bounty Hunters etc) are actually involved in trooping?" the largest formation ever fielded by the MYSCIFIFAN STAR WARS COSTUMED CONTINGENT was at the ART OF STAR WARS Exhibition in Singapore, where the Contingent fielded 11 STAR WARS Costumers who TROOPED in Singapore from 11 to 12 December 2005 :
where the line up of our MYSCIFIFAN ART OF STAR WARS Expedition Contingent represented characters from the Original STAR WARS Trilogy, Prequels and the Expanded Universe. A mixture of Heroes, Heroines and Villains, Aliens and Humans, Jedis and Siths as follows :
1) The SITH OverLORD = Tusken Raider / Sandpeople
2) FishYahoo = Plo Koon, Jedi Master
3) Plo Strax-Avix as Plo Strax-Avix, Jedi Master
4) VaderArjay = Darth Vader
5) SitiKay2 = Princess Leia Organa
6) LoneRanger84 = Emperor's Royal Guard
7) Senator_Vanyarin = Senator Padme Amidala, Yellow Picnic Gown
8) Dark_Ani = Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Padwan
9) Pei Zan = Bariss Offee, Jedi Knight
10) Douglas = Yupa Anex, Outlaw Jedi from Endor
11) Darth Revan as Sith Warrior, Darth Revan[/b] You have to really EMPHASISE this MAJOR CRITERIA requirement as a PREREQUISITE to JOIN the 501st Legion. We are STRICT on this requirement, ONLY Malaysian as well Brunei costumers who OWN and is willing to TROOP in their Imperial and Sith and other "bad guy" and alien costumes in the STAR WARS universe will be QUALIFIED in the 501st Legion.
and yes take good care, buddy.

James,
Here is another EXCELLENT Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot costuming RESOURCE webpage posted by David J Syczylo a.k.a. Boba Binks from the 501st Bloodfin Garrison :
to go David's webpage, just CLICK on the image of David with his Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot bucket on :
This is a very well documented webpage on how David made his 501st approved (he has since retired from wearing this costume) Imperial TIE Fighter costume starting from the Helmet downwards to the Boots. He has also provided a weblink to U.S. based Federal Army and Navy Surplus Inc, an online store where you may procure the Black TIE Fighter Pilot flightsuit.
ENJOY your 501st Legion qualifying costume project.
