I have zero experience with costuming like this, but I've decided I want to create General Weir. It's mostly for personal use (I run a Star Wars DND campaign with him as the main antagonist and think it would be fun for my friends), but I can see myself joining the legion in the future if I really fall in love with the process.
I want to start small and just use the helmet, but I have no idea where to start at all. Do I buy a base or get STL files to print off? Where do I get the red for the eye lenses?
Any support is appreciated - and, like I said, I have no experience at all so explain it to me like I'm five or something, if that's OK.
