Hurrah! My first piece came in today. (Helmet) (Thank you so much Kurtyboy) So I'm going to list out my "shopping list". I've been looking around the forums and have found suppliers for a lot of items. I'm going to list them out and hopefully get some feedback if I'm making a mistake, or could be pointed in the best direction to complete my costume. (also listing my budget for each item. I do plan on submitting this to the 501st. Anything marked completed I have obtained - the rest is open.

Here is a pic of the Helmet that arrived today. Snug fit, but it fits. I'm going to add the mesh for the back vent, some padding (what do you suggest for padding and where do I get it, also what glue would you recommend.) possibly a fan. I'm not going to do the skirt, as people complain about the heat and oxygen being a issue.
