Re: Newbie working on CPT Howzer build
We do. But they are sporadic. Here and there, if people plan them in different areas of the state. Or sometimes they end up being shorter notice, like if a few people that lived somewhat near each other had nothing going on in "real life" and felt like building stuff that upcoming weekend ...

Re: Hello from Lansing area!
Also if you wanted to see any armor in person, we'll be at Motor City Comic Con in Novi this Friday-Sunday if you planned on being there at all.

Re: Newbie working on CPT Howzer build
I saw you post on the CTD forum. Nice. That'll be the major research area for you. But any clones around GLG here will also be able to chime in if you needed specific info.

Re: Hello from Lansing area!
Hello from East Lansing. Females have made both styles of armor you are thinking about, so anything can be sized to what you need for yourself. You are right in that the Howzer would likely be the easier of the two kits to do as your first one, since vacuumformed kits of that phase 2 style are readi...

Re: Hello from Jackson
Hi Sean! I was one of the guys who met you at MCCC last time and had you come back to our booth to talk to our long term Clone guy in our changing space. Glad you worked with the Clone Trooper Detachment and got yourself a new "Sideshow figure version" that was a first for the 501st ! :mrg...

Re: Helmet Liner Ideas
I just use blocks of sheet foam to position my head in place inside my TK helmet.

Re: TK Helmet Lens Fitting Help
Post a pic of how the inside looks. There's usually ways to fiddle around with lens placement to get them closer to the eye openings.

Re: Can we use EVA foam?
While I've seen some seriously awesome looking EVA costumes of all sorts of genres at conventions, it seems none of the Star Wars costume groups (501st/Rebels/Mando Mercs) allow EVA foam armor builds. Some accessory pieces, sure, I can see that being done. But for main armor kits, I've never persona...

Re: New person
That checklist sheet in that picture says Imperial Surplus. As far as I know, he's the only 501st vendor who even makes this armor. So yes, once the hard armor parts are trimmed / sanded / glued together and strapped to fit your own body, you should be good to go. In the meantime, submit the Juno pi...

Re: New person
Gio is one of the normal 501st footwear vendors, and the two boots you pictured are the same two that are shown in the CRL, so you're good to go with whichever one you like.

Re: Looking for a 3D Printer capable of printing Clone Trooper Armor
Jimmiroquai is the only one making Crosshair armor currently. It's flexible fiberglass, not vacform. But it still exists as a kit.

Re: New to the group
What Aether said. If it's one of the "main character ones" from the TV show, that would be a place to go. But if it's a custom Mando of your own design, then this is where the Mando forum is to ask whatever you need to know: https://mandalorianmercs.org/forum/index.php

Re: Rogue One in IMAX Aug 26
Members were talking about it on the Facebook group last week, but it appears since no theaters submitted actual 501st requests, it's up to us what we do or do not for that date.

They have had the garrison out at every one of their cons, so it will get posted in the events section whenever they submit it for the April show. Their main con is still in November this year.

Re: New Shiny
I use black nomex flight gloves. The longer cuff tucks nicely into the forearm armor.
