Scout Trooper armor Transport.

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.

[SERIOUS] Is there a rule around what characters troop at hospitals?

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? :/

What’s the best Velcro recommendation to use on storm trooper suit? Something that holds strong and doesn’t peel off after a couple uses.

Star Wars Hunters Sentinel Build

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.

Looking for the firste state garrison

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.

Casting Call for Cosplayers in Boise, Idaho!

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 some star wars cosplays and was wondering if you got any tips.

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.

Best regular straps/ buckles for a TK?

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.

Stl file for Darth Vader ANH/R1 Shin guards

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!
