Friendly neighborhood self-confessed laconophilia, whose armor suits him, but it can not hide that mark (Nothing ever will), who was prepared the very moment that he let his arrow fly, that’ll slay anything that's evil (that's his deal), who will never die (just go Missing In Action), who's desperate to regain his honor, who has the innate ability to be overlooked and ignored, who hides a bitter heart under a veneer of lovable idiot, and who knows deep down that Who I am is not who I want to be...
I've Cadet been used as the base model for 4 Marvel Sketch Cards, 1 Topps Star Wars Galaxies trading card, a Star Wars Insider cover image, and a T-Shirt at Hot Topic, and I'm still the most overlooked and ignored person you will ever meet.

Boba Fett unmasked.
The fact that TheDentedHelmet.com got together and made Jeremy Bulloch his own complete Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett costume, and that Mr. Bullouch then went and joined the 501st with it and occasionally troops with the United Kingdom Garrison is still really cool to me.
Kix - Battle medic of the 501st Legion - Umbara
Is Kix still alive? Every since they killed off Denal I’ve been looking for a new paint job for my Clone. I kind of like Kix’s paint job.
StormTroopers
I started and felt lost. Whitearmor.net is the best place to go. You’ll find everything you need thereI just got the idea to eventually join the 501st of stormtroopers, but I am just starting. So I have not one piece of armor yet. Any ideas on how a guy with no costuming experience could get this going? can I buy some pieces from people including a blaster? Thanks for any feed back.
I have read the 501st website as well just as a FYI.
In addition to WhiteArmor.net it always a good idea to get signed up on your local 501st Garrison’s message board and introduce yourself. Get to knnow your local troops, come out to an event or two and help help handle/squire if you can. You will get to see up close how armor is put together, how different people do their strapping systems, et cetera. You will also get to meet the people you will be trooping with. Plus, if you come out, help, and introduce yourself, people will be more willing to be forthcoming with information and assistance with the actual assembly of your kit once you purchase it.
WhiteArmor.net is great for information, but your local garrison is who will actually help you assemble the armor and people you will end up spending a great deal of time with.

Behold the most embarrassing thing I have ever posted. Collection of footage and interviews about the charity work done by the Ohio Garrison in 2004 and 2005, including a teenage Cadet (age 16 and 17, braces and all). I’m going to go bury my head in embarrassment, but it’s important to get the word out about the Charity work we do.
TK/BH-2386 of The Ohio Garrison.
This is something I think a lot of people don’t know
Also the 501st never gets paid for appearances, all they ask for is a donation to different charities
To the day I die, I will be proud of the good I have done with the 501st.
It can be easy to get burned out sometimes, especially when little kids punch you in the back of the head, but then, every so often, you get that one, genuine experience.
You get that moment that for however brief, it’s all worth it.
