Two birds, one stone

[Church13]

So I was thinking about this today and figured I'd see what others thought. Would it be a good idea to slowly build two costumes at once or is it recommended to stick to one project at a time?

[GingerSnap]

I work on multiple costumes at once but it depends on the costumes. If it is your first time only working on one at a time is probably a better idea. What ones are you thinking about?

[Church13]

I was thinking primarily working on my Snowtrooper but I've been looking at the Sandtrooper and Tusken Raider costumes as a possibility to kinda slowly work on here and there.

If I were you I would pick one to start off with and focus on that build.

Ok thanks for the feedback

Do you want to join and troop or work on costumes?

I agree with Rip and flutefreak on this one. Focusing on two costumes would be great, but time consuming. I myself have about 20 different ideas of costumes both for the 501st and just for fun, problem is just to picking one . Pick which one you like the best and go from there. Two costumes also would mean investing more. A snow trooper is on my list to do and I am gathering parts slowly. Right now I am working on a non-501st costume Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy

Working on one for now would probably be best I can sew but I've never worked with armor before. I think I'll build my snowtrooper first and see how that goes before starting other projects. Guardians of the Galaxy was great movie btw, I'd love to see the finished Starlord costume.

Listen to Ripcode he knows what he is talking about; and it is less stressful only working on one costume at a time.

Hopefully within the next month pictures will probably be posted up here somewhere if not on Facebook Armor is not too hard as long as you follow the golden rule: Measure twice, cut once.... (or was it cut twice, measure once ) A snow trooper has less armor than a Stormtrooper or Sandtrooper, but still has the soft parts as well.

There are many members that have snowtroopers; did you sign up for the Blizzard Force Forums yet?

[Church13]

I have signed up for the blizzard forum and have been on there quite frequently reading through and asking questions so far the few questions I've asked have been answered quickly and the answers have been very helpful. I've already started getting the soft pieces for my snowtrooper build. I've got the gloves and I may have pants that are acceptable I just need to find them/make sure I still have them. I'm also in the process of finding material to start my duster. Thank you much for all of your feedback on this subject its very helpful and appreciated. Ripcode has a good point I could attempt working on numerous builds but more than likely I'd be spending more time building my armor than I would be wearing it and enjoying trooping with.
