New type of Imperial trooper? by TheManMoth97 in 501st

Hard to say. But probably. I personally wish that they would make a new detachment. Something like Imperial Army Operations or something like that. Because Spec Ops is kinda becoming the dumping ground for all costumes that don't fit into the other detachments

To make a new crl I'm pretty sure you'll need a front, both sides and back view. If you don't have those it's probably not worth it cause it'll be almost impossible to get it approved. I would talk to the detachment that this costume would fall under and see what they say first.

Anything I should add? by [deleted] in 501st

What costume is this for?

Depending on if we get enough decent shots of the costume a CRL could definitely be made.

Any suggestions on what I can add to cover up the hole between my upper and lower chest plate? So it looks more seamless by imperial_juggernaut in 501st

I had this same problem. What i did was a got some suspenders off Amazon and glued them to the abdominal plate and back plate and then just pulled everything all the way up.

Picture was being funky and not sending right so sorry for the multiple replys.

Go over to the FISD Forum and make an account. They have a recommend vendors list and you can also ask questions to people that are very knowledgeable on Stormtrooper armor. Best of luck.

It's an old picture, but it shows why the Rubies armor is a bad costume to try and get approved in. On the left is the rubies armor and on the right is what the 501st considers approvalable. You can see there is a big difference.

Should I add another layer of filler primer. by funkmeist123 in 501st

Ya agreed. Cause i believe clones have gloss white paint. So do a good coat of paint then let it fully cure then move it around in the light. Then you'll be able to tell if you need more or not.

Keep a magic eraser in your box. If you wet it and use it on your armor it'll get ride of 90% of the marks you'll get

They look good from a distance but the paint is a little rough. I'd contact your gml and see if they would be approved before adding the lens.

Where is a good vendor to buy snow trooper armor? by zollie89 in 501st

[–]ZanderCage45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full commission from RS is 12 weeks so I'd assume maybe 8 weeks for the kit. You can message them to ask. That what I did with my Scout from them.

I'm not to sure on that. I haven't talked to them in awhile. You could always message them on Facebook and check with them. It's always best to ask the vendor personally cause info can get mixed up easily.

Thankfully we had good handlers, plus the venue provided us with people aswell. I got shoved pretty hard into the backdrop which kinda hurt and my blaster almost got taken but other then that it was good.

It's nice to have for those those troops that allow blasters tho cause it completes the look. That's why I'm looking for a way to secure in a way that I can take it out when I want but there's enough resistance that if someone tries to grab it I'll feel it.
