Great Lakes Garrison & Base

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

That would probably work. Are you also on the forums at 501stclonetroopers.com? Lots of great advice there too.

Not too bad. Only part that looks off to me is the chin part seems a bit too warped.

Either one is good. I prefer flat, myself.

We have character-specific web sites called "detachments" where you can find armor vendors and all the info on how to put it all together. Do a ton of reading/research into the costume you want to do before buying anything. You can find the list of detachments here: https://www.501st.com/d...

Aerators.

I believe Galactic Armory has accurate files. I know a few people have been approved with their armor.

Hi. Sorry, but our costumes are our personal property, some costing $5,000 or more and we don't like to loan them out to people. Plus with the virus going around, it would be a bad idea anyways.

The Dewalt linked above is 63 gallons. Probably better to get that one.

They can just buy the costume. Have your friend register for the forums at imperialofficer.com. Cosplaysky has the most inexpensive costumes, but there is A LOT to read up on before ordering from them. Even if you send in custom measurements, they tend to mess things up. And the hat and belt they se...
