What kind of opening mechanism are you using for the bracers? I'm printing mine out now using the GrapeStudioArt files at 105% but I dont think I can make the bracers big enough for my hand to fit all the way through without making it look too big. Did you end up making them all one piece with inserts inside to stop it from moving?

Been seeing this pic floating around FB and IG, so thought I'd send you a follow on IG!

Update on the armor situation:
??
ASP cancelled my order and refunded my money. Thankfully, there was no change in the currency values through paypal, so I got all my money back???
??
A guy in Washington State reached out to me to sell his DT armor for really big discount and it's since come in the mail! Came with an ASP Mk.4 helmet, finished belt, and finished armor, with Jim Tripon's shins along with a chest rig to wear. Super thankful for Nick and am glad I ran into him. I'm very busy with finals and thesis presentations so I haven't had a chance yet to do a proper test fit to see what needs to get replaced, but I'll keep everyone posted.

I'm almost done working on my E-11D blaster! I still have a few small pieces that need to be sanded and primed, but I've also bought screws and am currently working on getting the whole blaster assembled. I have a few question that I hope some people may have answers to:
??
1. (Unless I'm blind) I don't see a description on the Death Trooper CRL on the barrel's color. I've heard from others that this is supposed to have an aluminium finish to it. I have Alclad Chrome on hand for my Din Djarin build. Could I use this instead of aluminium?
??
2. I've spoken with @Feliz??and he's in the same boat as I am regarding lighting/electronics for the blaster. I want to equip the blaster with all of the necessary LEDs, however, I've never worked with electronics before and I'd appreciate any help with this.
??
Thanks!

Plenty of research, I think you'll find it all domestically too.?????Cool armor !

I have the 'TRamp' audio system...I dig it. I'm pretty sure there is a DT voice file for it too.
??
Check these guys out definitely in your research....

Yea, I've been looking around the SpecOps threads for shop suggestions but some of the shops currently offering armor kits have some inaccuracies that, at that price point, I'd rather not have. I could purchase the files off of Tom Campbell, but I'll probably be out of a 3D printer in a month, so I wont have the means to print the armor for myself. I'll probably end up ordering a fiberglass resin kit from Jim Tripon, however, I'm waiting to hear back from another shop before I make my decision.??
??
I ordered a helmet from a shop in Europe so I dont want to order one from Jim if I'm gonna receive that one, but still remains to be seen how that plays out.
-
I'm planning on doing the same for my Mando build! Good luck on your end!
-
I've sent in a full refund request to PayPal, however, due to currency conversions and the Russian ruble being valued less than it did in February, I'll probably end up losing $110. As far as I understand it, I get refunded the original amount the seller received, so 96,404 rubles. Was worth $1275 in February, but now thats worth about $1165

Situation in Russia has taken a turn for the worse and Armory Shop Props is no longer able to fulfill my DT armor kit order.??

Awesome! So excited this is happening! I'm currently working on a full Beskar Din Djarin costume for 501st approval, cross-approval if possible. I don't have much in the way of skills, but I'd love to pick up new ones (especially sewing). I've done a lot of 3D printing work in the last few months and have worked with a handful of different products so I've gotten really good at smoothing out prints, and I'd be more than happy to lend a hand in that department.

This may be a dumb question so I apologize if it is. Just wondering if this is a thing all members can attend or do I need to wait to hear if my application is accepted before I can attend. Thanks
I had the exact same question, so don't feel as though it is a dumb one. I went to the first meeting and kinda just hung around in the back, and spoke a few times whenever I felt comfortable. It was a fun and exciting meeting so I would recommend going to meet others.

Hey everyone! So I joined the CTG forums a while back and have already sounded off in the recruits tab. I mentioned that I've been working on a DT build for the 501st, but never got around to actually making a WIP post in this forum so here we go:
Edit (3/25): So I just received my undersuit in the mail, however, it was sent to my college campus before I even get there so I won't be able to wear it for a few days XD. Hoping to upload some pics of it by next week.

@HRivera7322 I don't know if you had an opportunity to look through some of the boards here but we're marching with a few other star wars costuming groups in the New Haven St Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday.?? If you're going to be a spectator keep an eye out for us!?? Also, before the parade may be a good time to meet some of the member since we're all going to be gaggling around doing a whole bunch of nothing before we step off.
Feel free to reach out to command with any questions
Haven't been on the forum, but I just saw this comment. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it in time for the parade!
??I was staying with family in Jersey that Sunday so didn't get a chance to see everyone and their costumes. I'm heading back upstate this weekend for the rest of the semester, so won't get a chance to meet people until the summer, but I look forward to it!

Hey everyone! I'm Hector Rivera, an amateur cosplayer from New Haven, CT., although I am currently abroad finishing my bachelor's in Upstate New York. I got into cosplay around Halloween last year when my friends at college wanted to dress up as Marvel characters for a party and I pieced together a Nick Fury costume. Around the same time, I also went above and beyond and bought myself a Batman suit XD. Anyway, I figured with two costumes, I should probably wear them and take photos rather than leave them to collect dust in my tiny college dorm closet, so I decided to create an Instagram page for my cosplay adventures and have recently stumbled into 3D printing. A few weeks ago, I'd say around early February, I decided that my next BIG project would be a Star Wars Imperial Death Trooper and so I've started to piece together a DT armor from various shops. I'm not yet 501st approved as this is my first costume Star Wars related, but I really hope to use this one to join the legion with.

Looking forward to chatting with you guys and maybe seeing you guys at events soon.

Terrificon 2022 @ Mohegan Sun Casino July 29th - July 31st - 07/29/22 12:00 AM to 07/31/22 12:00 AM

Never been to a convention before but I was thinking of making Terrificon my first. I'm still not sure where I'm going to live in the summer, as I'm in the middle of job searching, but if I do end up staying in CT, I'd love to come to this. Would it be possible to sign up as a wrangler? I probably won't have an approved costume by the time this event rolls through.
