Dark Trooper Build

Post by talladam13 »

So I think I've finally decided on a Dark Trooper for my costume. I've seen a couple of guys "works in progress" for them posting on clonetroopers.net, and the 501st Spec Ops boards... tubachris85 and JangoJedi to be specific. If any of you happen to know them and know how their progress is going PLEASE let me know.

Since this isn't a 501st approved costume yet, I'm also considering a Snowie or Null ARC. Any further guidance and/or suggestions (not Slave Leia) are appreciated as always.

The Darktrooper would be cool if you could pull it off.

The ARC would be cool too - so I don't think you can go wrong either way!! :thumbs: :thumbs:

That darktrooper is a robot like a SBD. He needs to do the kind that has a trooper in it.

With boots and a bucket on, pushing 7' tall!! A darktrooper would be quite a sight. Hope you can do this one. Would be great to see done.

Yea for another Snowie! Though any of the others would be cool too.
Thank you for not doing the Leia.....I've seen some strange things in my life :whatthe: and I would never want to see that sight.

Yep. That is a phase 0 darktrooper. Older clones had about 70% of their body replaced with robot parts (like vader) that is the armor that some one is maken on TDH forums. The 1 you posted in your first post is a phase 3 dark trooper. And id could be worn, but only a handfull were made. The phase 1 was a droid and the phase 2 was a droid but also could be worn.
