The CRL for this costume can't come fast enough.

I am gutted I was unable to suit up as an official 501st PG for this films release. As soon as we have a CRL and a vetted list of makers/parts providers I'll definitely be spending my monies.

Hi;

Is there any chance that we could get a photo of the unprimed/unpainted test piece or pieces along with your fabric? I was just wondering what the colour/hue difference is between painted and unpainted.

Cheers.

Hi all;

Just wanted to let everyone know. My Approval has just come through. I'm officially a TR now as well. I will be debuting my costume at OzComicCon in Brisbane Australia this weekend with the Redback Garrison.

**Happy happy days!**

Well, it has begun. We have just gotten home from Brisbane (a 5hr+ drive). We had a great time, and I got some Father's Day/Force Friday goodies to boot! Now my eyes are basically falling out of my head, and my wife is in no better state, but we have sorted through photo's and picked out the best ...

Thanks for the kind words Darth Dog and Redgirl.

Hi All;

I have been hovering on these boards for months. I figured it was time I made a WiP thread. This being my 2nd 501st Costume (my first being my Jawa), I have to confess that a lot (OK, 90%) of the build is not being done by myself. I'll explain below in my parts list, but basically I am ...

Congrats Redgirl. That looks fantastic.

Thanks for the pics Redgirl, and the info. I'm still waiting for my Magnet order to arrive so I have yet to glue my bucket together. I have a couple of questions...

1) What glue did you use? E6000, or something else (plastic cement, super glue)?
2) Did you use the provided ABS sheet to cut out and ...

Started applying bondo to my helmet today. I've never used the stuff before so a lot of lessons learned. Everyone makes it look so easy. :) I'll apply another coat tomorrow and then take pictures.

Please post your thoughts and problems you had. For those others of us with these helmets and ZERO ...
