Count me in!

Clones can be somewhat of a big project, but it is all about how you approach building one. After doing a bit of digging into their etsy/activity on the Clone Trooper Detachment they seem rather new with most of their sales/reviews within the last year. I know that Galactic Armory who also 3D prints/sells files has their models set for approval (given they are properly finished) but cannot find anything on whether their files are. (Assuming you are going for approval). The only image I could find of what they are saying is one of their clones is of a ROTS style Phase 2 501st Clone Trooper and comparing the helmets it appears that theirs is slightly off around the visor with it having an animated style visor with a realistic style helmet. (The difference is in the angle of the corners along with how tight the peaks are to the brow but please correct me if it would be okay for approval). However, this doesn't line up with another photo they had posted earlier of a raw print of their phase 2 clone helmets so that would make me uneasy. I'd highly recommend going to the Clone Detachment Forums (https://501stclonetroopers.com/forum/) and asking some of the members there for their opinions.

Link to the discord channel has expired, any chance I can get an updated link? Thanks!

I'll be there Saturday rain or shine, rain is no stranger!

Heres a quick overview of where everything is at right now.

Will do! I appreciate it!

Hey all it's been a minute! A little update of what I've gotten with Rex and a (hopeful) timeline of things to come! 1) Got an Imperial Surplus helmet in and have fully put it together, just waiting on some good weather to actually paint 2) All the seams have been touched up on the rest of the suit, also waiting to paint 3) Planning on ordering Crowprops boots by the end of next week, and hoping they'll arrive around May-June 4) Still have to get the holster straps set up, along with putting some padding inside the holsters themselves to prevent damage to the pistols 5) Recently acquired a 3D printer so I am planning on printing some new pistols since my old ones have seen better days. Hoping to get everything together around June and send in approval pictures. Looking forward to finally getting this project done so I can move onto the next one!

I appreciate all of these! Sorry for the late replies school has been keeping me busy! I'll probably set up a WIP thread when I am on winter break and can actually work on my kit/have access to my tools. Again, thank you for all of the information!

Awesome! Thank you!

Might be a dumb question, but is there any reason there is no??CRL??for a realistic style phase one Captain Rex costume? I figured if his Phase Two armor can get a realistic??CRL??his Phase One should as well. Thanks!??

I was wondering how often armor parties occur and what exactly happens? Thanks!??
