Hi there,
Really sorry to post this message in English, but I'm sure that your English is far better than my German.
I've lived in Vienna for a while now and I'd like to get involved with the 501st. I'm originally from England and over the past few months I managed to build and complete a set of TK armour (Still working on the Blaster)
I'd like to know what I need to do to get involved with the Austrian 501st. Here's a really bad quality picture from me at a Halloween party (I know I'll need better pictures)

Thanks for reading! :)
Hi there and welcome to our forum!
I'm no expert on TK-armor, but it looks like you did a pretty fine job!
For details on armor requirements I suppose you contact our GML Perdikkas (responsible for costume approval), via PM.
For joining the Legion, as far as I know you only need to be 18+ and have a suitable costume, Perdikkas and our CO (Commanding officer) Manuel can surely provide you with details on that.
If you're interested to meet some of us, we have a monthly meeting of Star Wars fans in general (NOT 501st exclusive) in Vienna, called Star Wars Stammtisch.
The next meeting is on Friday, November 8th, at Restaurant La Traviata.
(here's the restaurant's website and address http://www.spareribs.at/index.php?option=com_dfcontact&Itemid=58)
I'd love to meet you there!
Cheers,
Björn
It's nice to meet you. :)
If you wish to know whether your armour meets 501st standards, I'd recommend that you check out the Costume Reference Library:

An Englishman in Vienna ... sounds not so good as in New York ;D
but a heartily welcome.
