Yah, the forums are where all the info is. I learned everything there. Are you doing animated or realistic style?

Welcome! I’m another clone, a bit south of Port Huron. Are you on the clone forums? Best place for info.

Sorry, but foam armor is not allowed for membership. If you’re looking to do an RC, head to the forums at 501stclonetroopers.com to learn how. It’s not as hard as you think. It’s basically a giant model kit. My clone was my first build, too.

Awesome! More clones!

For my clone, I used air conditioner weather stripping foam. Comes in 1 and 2 inch thick strips. Glued them in with E-6000.

If you haven’t already, post pics on the forums at 501stclonetroopers.com and they can give you feedback too.

EVA foam is not allowed for builds.

Never heard of them and kind of leery, as it looks like they are using Cossky pics.

If you haven’t already, be sure to register for the forums at whitearmor.net. That’s *the* place to learn all about building a stormtrooper.

Honestly, you’re probably better off buying a vac-formed kit than buying a printer and trying to set it all up before you can even print anything.

The forums at whitearmor.net are the place to go for TKs. For scouts, http://www.501stpathfinders.com/

Cossky is the bottom of the barrel and Wampa is the next step up.

I got my code cylinders from Philo. Belt buckle and rank bar from Tiggwolf. Belt blank was from EBay.

DeafTrooper, are the videos relatively universal (meaning regardless of kit origin) and is there a particular video/series that you recommend? The vendor has a few quick tip videos but nothing for full builds. Not sure. Never built a TK before. Have just seen people's posts linking the video throug...

There are also videos on YouTube that you can check out.

Thought I heard they run a bit small and you'll want to order up 1 size. Not positive about that.

Register for the forums at whitearmor.net. There, you can find out who the good vendors are to get kits from, who to avoid and how to assemble it all.

Go to the sign up thread on this forum and reply that you're going to go: http://greatlakesgarrison.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=354&t=17779 You will need to buy your own ticket for the con, either on-line or at the door. And everybody gets dressed in our changing area that's behind our table area.

I believe there is the Heroes Alliance. I could be wrong.

You have to have a costume built and be a full member in order to be able to get merch. Lucasfilm doesn't allow us to sell merch to the general public.

We have a few clones in Michigan. Almost all are realistic style. I think the only animated ones we have are 2 Rex's
