Getting Started (im a NooB)

[coolchips101]

Ok guys, im totally new to making my own costume. To make my own Galactic Marine armor, where do i need to start? The Helmet, armor, ect? And, where ever you guys suggest I start, do I buy the materials and make the armor/helmet myself, or do I buy the armor/helmet from somewhere? What do I do to get started?
