Re: Hello from Lansing area!
Welcome!!! I have built a few sets of clone armor in my time. Lol. And thanks Skycat!! Not sure Im the best, but I do try. Definitely start a build thread. Best way to get feedback and help. I have built armor for people from 5’3” (my wife) to my size which is 6’ 240lbs. You can do a lot. Just takes...

Re: Hello from Jackson
Sorry for the late response, but it was great to meet you at MCCC ( I am Deviss). Congrats on your approval. Looking forward to trooping with you. I have a place in Bronson, Mi, so I am out that way during the summer months!. Love the west side of the state.

Re: Field Medic Clone concept and build
I recommend you do NOT do fiberglass. The weight alone will not allow you to troop for any length of time. My kit is ABS and it weighs 40+ lbs. If you cover yours in glass, the chest piece will weigh that at least. Just an fyi. Fiberglass is NOT a great idea for full sets of armor.

Well, Andy, you must hate my armor parties. We do 80% social and 20% work.

Re: Field Medic Clone concept and build
I am familiar with Pep an it will need a TON of work to look accurate. Unless your concept is blocky and square. Pep for a Master Chief is totally a different realm of costume building than a Star Wars costume.

Re: Episode VII costumes
Just know that if you do the work yourself, make it look accurate, it wont cost you a million dollars. We did Mike's Vader for under $1k. But we made almost everything. Taught ourselves to sew. Made all the soft parts and bought only a couple parts. A inaccurate helmet and spent some time making it ...

Re: Old Rex Armor... Under Construction
Emphasis on Subtle. Just put some black acrylic in a cap and mix it with washer fluid or window cleaner (dollar store) and start with that.

Re: E-11
It 24 hrs for full cure time. Usually tacky and will hold in a few hours. Depends on the temperature at the time.
I would still use super glue. There is no need to use E6000. And its very thick, so you might get a lot of "oozing" from between the parts.

Re: E-11
I love E6000. It sticks to everything. And is removable if you F up.
Those are resin parts. Cyanoacrylte (fancy super glue) works AWESOME on resin. And is strong as all get out. IF you dont have the patience for E6000.
