My latest 501st costume 10-13-08 troop pix
- Motto: "Ker-Klick... Choom!"
- Weapon: Black Magic
I bought a Snowtrooper on ebay that was in bad shape (no paint, holes cut on the sides for fans, etc..
I started out with this..
Hardly any paint, incorrect chest parts, etc..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/ ... 0_1697.jpg
I had to pull everything off the chest and clean all of the acrylic paint.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/ ... 0_1711.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/ ... 0_1709.jpg
I got a kit for some of the chest and ab parts.
And I hand painted everything on the backpack and the chest designs.
It evolved to this..

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Now for the helmet fix.
On this side you can see a faint line in dim light.. But in bright light you cannot see anything.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/ ... 0_1789.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/ ... 0_1788.jpg
I also have larger side pouches coming in soon.
Once I finish my mukluks I will snap a completed pix.

Alright, still, I'd never think to get a costume. Maybe to preserve one, but to those extents...
I'm to lazy

Still, every now and then I'll get a nice blade for myself. I won't walk around with nothing stupid, but I have some trust worthy idiot friends who know to protect the upholstry.
Last summer we got hand crossbows and a used box of duckie lawn planters for $60 at a flea market. Then I got off topic, so I'm just gonna end this with, Have Fun With What You Do

Re: My latest 501st costume...
First thought was 'ack zombie thread', but then I remembered the board wipe, which I suppose makes this kind of less zombieish...
But since the thread is here, this would be a good opportunity to ask something I was wondering.
Are the Imperial Snowtrooper and GAR Clone Marine different aside from the paint job?
If not, buying a crap snowtrooper costume you have to repaint anyway would be preferable to building a suit from scratch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note, I lamented my poorness yesterday, when the thought jumped in my head that it would be awesome to walk into our department meeting in Mandalorian Beskar on 10/31/08. Looks like I'll have to settle for Indiana again.

That is awesome! I love snowtroopers! If you take it out for a convention or something make sure you take some pics and share them here.

I have trooped it in a couple of events since I made this thread.
I need to work on a strap that pulls the chest down so it relieves the pressure it puts on my back.

For those that do not kow me I am dressed like Anakin on the left side.
It was a march to raise awareness of all the youth violence that has been taking place in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina.

I liked the snowtrooper costume. Of course Annekin looks cool too. Most people don't know that the people in the 501st have to build their own costumes. It is a lot of work.
