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

Events haven't slowed down at all lately, so whenever you feel like it, there's always more events to go to.

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: Hello from Illinois!
Im not sure who will see this but Id like to hope as a a fellow MMCC member, you could be added to the Tra'Cor Clan access to the GLG boards, which would give you access to the events boards. That's why I told her to come to this forum in the first place. She's trooped twice in Michigan in the last...

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.

Re: Grand Rapids Comic Con April 2022
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.
