Hello everyone! been thinking for a long time about joining 501st spec ops and Im glad I've finally made the choice to start my first trooper build!
I have some basic understanding of DIY project things and prop making but am mostly fairly new to the idea of star wars prop armor,
so I have a few things I need to get down first before I can start putting it together.
First is making a total list of needed parts for the kit. This is what i have so far but Im looking for pointers and things to add to it as i go
parts list:
Helmet: which I will probably get from altmann.
Hard solid parts: Ive looked at the list of trusted vendors for this and will probably go with one of those but more links/info are appreciated.
Soft parts: I have some under armor but I need a jumpsuit, cummerbund, flak vest, as well as the pouches, and other soft pieces to add to the list.
Boots: Ive seen some older listings for some but don't know of any newer ones that are up to date and in stock.
Gloves: I think I know a place to get these from in the trusted sources links but also want to be sure i get the right kind for the build.
Voice amp: don't know what the best idea for Shadow Scouts would be so Im thankful for links or information on the whereabouts of one and the stuff for it.
Blasters/blaster rifles: have some ideas but still need to pick guns. a question i also have for this is has anyone done an imperial heavy repeater?
Are there other parts Im missing? If so let me know and I will add them.
Apart from this i also don't know what will be required of me once i get the parts and pieces to put it all together.
can someone give me information on what needs to be done and the types of materials or tools ill need to complete it?
Thanks in advance for any and all help! Really happy to finally be here!
