Hey guys so I'm gonna be receiving my Scout Trooper armor and soft parts soon and I'm wondering what you'd recommend to use for transporting it to troops? I already have a huge hard tote for my TK armor so I'd perfer something soft for this set of armor. Just to make storage a little easier.
I have always wanted to troop and do appearances but I have always wanted to join the 501st as a Death Trooper.
I can't imagine too many hospitals want a Death Trooper tyring up? :/
Does anyone know of a build group for Sentinel? I’m really considering postponing my Din Djarin build for making a Sentinel. I wouldn’t mind being the first, but a build like this would likely take me a year at least.
Hello all. I've posted here before looking for help with my shadow trooper. I've reached out to my local forums without any response. I went to a local comic con in Ocean City, Maryland where I spoke to a few people and they told me there was a reddit as it easier to work there and it was free. Does anyone know where I can find it? Or if there is another website/app that they use like discord or something? Thank you all for your time.
Hello, I am a filmmaker in Boise, Idaho and have been passionate about Star Wars my whole life. After working on a few short films over the past few years it has been my dream to create a Star Wars fan film.
I am still very early on in the writing process and have not settled on what Era this film will take place in. Thinking either Old Republic, Order 66, or Pre-Force Awakens. I am putting this message out to gauge interest and will potentially choose a script around whatever cosplayers are available.
If you are a Star Wars cosplayer in the Boise area, I would be thrilled to collaborate with you! I think it will be a lot of fun and if you are at all interested and would like more details, please feel free to email me at chimericpontoonproductions@gmail.com
I want to make a Snow trooper, Death trooper and a Purge trooper from star wars.
I was wondering if anyone got any tips on what materials to use and if anyone got any 3D modells i could use. (I might have access to a 3D printer)
I am open to, buy but as a collage student i would prefer spending as little money as possible, but still get ok quality.
Are there regular buckles, straps, or snaps from a regular retailer (not one that would trigger rule 1) like Amazon that work particularly well? I purchased some snaps off Amazon but they are too small and difficult to snap together and the fabric between them keeps getting twisted.
Having a little fun at a Make-a-Wish presentation today!
ive been looking for a little bit and cant find the boots or neck seal. does anyone know where i can find a website that sells them
On a tight budget right now and just looking for Darth Vader ANH/R1 approvable/accurate stl files they could share that i could temporarily use. I know one online is making these files but due to the rules I wouldn't be posting the name here. I could also trade some stl files that I bought but didn't end up using, since i couldn't really spare some cash during this holidays.
Thanks in advance!
