    Start by looking for boots, if you haven't already. They are typically the one item many have problems nailing. 

    Honorary Membership

    Great idea, Bob! I especially agree about the folks who are getting up there in age. 

    In case anyone is unfamiliar with the honorary member program, here are the current details copied from the main 501st site:

     

    What is the Honorary Member Program? 
    Originally created by Founder Albin Johnson, the 501st Legion has a program in which individuals who are not members of the Legion are recognized and honored for their contributions and support. The honors have adaptively evolved over the years, with differing definitions over time. Each "era" of honored individuals are grandfathered into the program. The current defined honors are as follows:

    Honorary Member (HM) 
    Any individual who has been universally recognized as having made a contribution to or impact on the Star Wars universe / IP. This honor is typically granted to actors, authors, production crews, production concept artists, voice actors, and so forth that have worked on licensed Star Wars IP. Honorary Membership may also be awarded to individuals or groups who have supported multiple Legion units for a great number of projects or years of service to our organization.

    HM Benefits:
    501st Legion Honorary Members receive a unique certificate proclaiming their status. Their name is also installed on on Honorary Member Page on 501st.com. A login to our Honorary Member forum is available to those HM's interested in such and whom request it. An HM also has access to 501st merchandise to purchase as they choose. The Legion as an organization does not grant any other benefits or perks beyond those listed here. Invites to Legion functions are common by host Garrisons if a HM is in their area, but is by no means guaranteed.

    Note on Local Honors: At a local level, Garrisons/Outposts are free to do what they would like (following all merchandising rules, of course) to recognize local people as honored friends or honorary members of their Unit. This is a local only unit-level sort of honor, outside the boundaries of this program, and are not entitled to any declared benefits of the 501st Legion Honorary Member Program. When creating certificates and plaques and the like for their local honors, the unit can name the person what they choose, honored friend, friend, honorary member, etc) but it must be of the unit's name (example, "of Bloodfin Garrison") and not "of the Legion" or "501st Legion". 

    Nominations 
    - Any active 501st Legion member may nominate a Honorary Member. 
    - Nominators should inform their CO's of nominations made. 
    - Nominations will be assessed by the Honorary Member Committee for acceptability and if they lie at a Legion or local level. 
    - Nominations should be submitted to honorary@501st.com and detail the person being nominated as well as reasons why.
    - IMPORTANT NOTE: Nominations should always be sent to honorary@501st.com before induction, be the intention Legion or local. This helps avoid confusion, embarrassment, and frustration for all parties involved. In addition, even if the nomination is local, it still allows the Honorary Office to forward the story to our PRO Office for possible inclusion in social media.

    The Honorary Member Liaison (HM Liaison) is the single point of contact and the Chair of the Honorary Committee.
    Honorary Committee is made of a group of people including the HM Liaison, an HML admin, LCO, Legion Founder, and LPRO. These are the individuals that vote.
    Honorary Member Team comprises of the above, but also includes non-voting members appointed by the HML to accomplish important administrative tasks

    Why an IOC costume?

    Hey gang. How's everybody doing? 

     

    Just a fun, random thought, but since we are all here reading this, I'll ask.

     

    What really made you guys decide to make an IOC costume? 

     

    While I have many costumes, and belong to many detachments, I know some of you may only know the IOC, and may only have one costume, or are maybe just on your first costume.

     

    I know many folks start out as a crewman because it's one of the more simple builds to get into the 501st...
     

    ...but what about those costumes that really sparked a desire in you? I know many of you are passionate about Thrawn, Krennic, Hux, ect. What made you go with these characters or specific costumes?

    Do you like the simplicity, or the complexity in the creation, or just like the character? 

     

    My very first IOC costume was an Imperial Navy Trooper. I had always liked that character and thought it would be a sharp uniform to do. I liked the idea also, that they are basically henchmen. They weren't officers, pilots, technicians or infantry, but more or less support personnel who were always in the background, but jumped into the action when needed. 

     

    What character or costume made you go the IOC route?

    Nope.  I watched those, too.  And the last 9 or so pics are actually from one of the deleted scenes: There's an extended sequence where, after they slice their way onto the FO ship and steal FO uniforms, Finn and Rose and BJ walk through a room and attract the attention of the FOSB officer.  LOTS of officers in that scene... and the best closeup of their datapad yet.  But it's clearly a different sort of datapad than the one pictured in the Visual Guide.

    Hey, I'm not in that scene. lol

    I haven't yet played Battlefront, but dug up some old convos about those pinholes in other officer badges from the movies.  It is amazing that they picked out that tiny little detail and made sure to put it in the game, yet changed so many other things about the uniform and bars!

    I know, right? It's like the game designers are telling us "hey, we could make this stuff uber-accurate if we wanted to, but will still make it our own creation". :D
