501st Causeway Garrison

All costumes which are applicable for 501st Legion acceptance must meet the basic level of acceptance as described in the CRL( Costume Reference Library). It is highly encouraged that you refer to your chosen costumes CRL before and during your build to ensure it complies. A list of current CRLs can be found here:

It is also recommended that you visit the respective Detachment for your build as they are communities soley dedicated to the costumes homed there and are a great source of advice,techniques and vendors to assist in your build.If your planned costume cannot be found on the CRL it may be a Rebel Legion only costume, or a previously unbuilt costume Legion-wide. In any case please don't hesitate to contact the GML for assistance.When starting your build it is highly encouraged to post a work in progress(WIP) thread on the forums. This way the GML and other members familiar with the costume can assist with any queries or difficulties you may have or offer advice or guidance from their own experiences. It may also expediate the submission process as the build will have been followed from inception.

 

Submitting your Costume

 

When you are ready to submit your costume, send an email to gml@501stni.com including at the very least the following pictures:

 

• Full Body Front
• Full Body Left
• Full Body Right
• Full Body Back
• Action Pose
• Headshot
  • With Helmet/Mask
  • Witohut Helmet/Mask (were applicable)

The GML may also request further additional pictures, for example close up shots or component parts not clearly visible in full body pics or other more intricate details.

Please try and take photos in good lighting and preferably in front of a plain background.  This ensures the costumes details are easier to see and will also help make photoshopping onto the roster page simpler.  The kitchen door has been a favourite spot for many troopers!

You will also need to fill in the form found here:

or contact the GML who will be more than happy to talk you through the process.

 

Please also note than in certain circumstances the GML will avail of the central GML forum to assist in costume approvals. These circumstances can include, but are not limited to: certain high level/complicated characters such as Vader,Boba Fett etc; the GMLs unfamiliarity with a certain costume; a newly added CRL.

 The applicant may also request that the GML submits their costume to the GML forum for assessment if they feel they may not receive an unbiased or fair critique from the GML. In the interests of impartiality, any costume submissions from sitting garrison Command members(ie CO,XO),or partners/spouses/relatives of the current GML will also be submitted to the GML Forum so as to alleviate any potential bias.This is also the case for any new cosumes the GML themselves may wish to submit.
