I'm a member there too, and for the most part, it's a pretty friendly community, obviously everywhere have people that will look down on you for not being a professional costume designer and so on. Sometimes though, the level of perfection that some members have can be a little intimidating, at least to beginners.
I felt it was just important for beginners to not be too concerned with meeting the same sort of standards as professional Cosplayers. I meant no offence to the RPF as I appreciate the input I get from users there.
That's the exact phrase I was looking for. It is intimidating, but if you are dead set on learning the craft, there's really no better community to do so. |

I definitely am not going for the 501st. Plus as strict as they are, you KNOW a 5'5" Kylo Ren isn't going to happen with them, period. If years down the line I end up shelling out for the Anovos helm or something, that will be for ME and not to satisfy anyone else. (My budget and timeline this year will NOT allow for that, whereas the Black Series helmet WAS something I could handle.)

Surely 501st wouldn't reject a character due to the height of the individual? Would they? if they do then that is way too strict a list of rules and guidelines in my opinion |

Exclusion based on height actually sounds like something the Empire would do.  |

I don't think they have any height restrictions in place. What they are most concerned with is making sure that your costume is accurate and that you can accurately portray the character. I have a friend in the 501st who is a Clonetrooper. He's 6'8 and towers over most everyone. Height isn't a big deal. |

Behold...a new skill..."Force Draft"! ..Although, as a Sith, if I saw someone show up in a Cosplay Jedi outfit sans pants using this template, I would fall out of character laughing hysterically because I know if would be someone from this forum... |
