sakurawars88 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Hey guys, it's my first time doing Star wars Costume WIP so please understand and freely scold me if I made a mistake!!! # -> Completed ! -> Need help ~ -> In progress Helmet (~): ETSY PlasticNFoamStuff -> I just noticed that there is a strict rule to be approved by the 501st, and as I have read the regulations, this doesn't fit the criteria of the Death Trooper helmet. I guess I have to reorder them from somewhere... If you guys have any recommendations, please feel free to leave them in the comments! (Hasbro helmet looks cool!) -> Just got contacted by Jordan and will order the helmet from him! The specialist helmet with the side scope(magnet) is awesome! Date ordered: April 25, 2025 Armor(~): I decided to get it from Jinta since he has a finished version... Now I have to earn enough money to buy Date ordered: May 28, 2025 Undersuit/Neck Seal/Gasket/Boot cover(~): I am going to order the set from jim tripon (Will order at the end of next month) -> Everything is going as planned. Date ordered and measured: May 9, 2025 Pauldron(~): Bought it from ETSY(ArtneoES) and got confirmed it is 501st valid, so I hope it is okay... waiting for the package to arrive -> This one does not fit the regulation with the DT so I guess I have to sell this to someone else. I've already ordered Jinta set so it is no problem. Received(ArtneoES) May 2nd, 2025 Date ordered(Jinta Props): April 26, 2025 Blaster(~): Bought both E-11D and SE-14R Premium Steel with straps as a bonus from the seller, Imperial Arms Date ordered: April 23, 2025 Boot(#): Ordered the Killer boot from Keeptrooping Date ordered: May 5, 2025 Date received: May 22, 2025 Looks wonderful... Just need some more touch by adding some velcro on the tile! Gloves(~): I plan to purchase them from Endor Finders(Jinta has a whole set, which is great!) Date ordered(Jinta Props): April 26, 2025 Belt(~): Will order with Jinta's armor. I couldn't find anywhere else where they sell the materials. Date ordered(Jinta Props): April 26, 2025 I will update them once I have ordered and received them! Hope you guys can give me some advice! 2 Link to comment
PiotrRasputin[TX] Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Hi there and best of luck in your build! Let me know when you get your E-11D blaster in as I'm curious to hear your experience with Imperial Blasters. I'm looking to get a replacement for my broken one. 1 Link to comment

As soon as I get them, I will leave a note and a review. I'm sorry that your former blaster was broken... It just saddens me to hear that... Link to comment

That would be great! I am also planning on ordering a Jinta Death trooper armor kit and i am really curious how the Quality is. There seems to be no one else with a Death Trooper kit from Jinta, so i have no idea if its a waste of money. 1 Link to comment
Catalyst1945[501st] Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I'm also eyeing Jinta, and didn't want to risk buying the DT without seeing another's experience. To quote a Sith: "We will watch your career with great interest." 2 Link to comment
sakurawars88 Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 Got the pauldron but got the wrong one... damn.. Guess I will sell it to someone who needs it. Guys.. if you guys are planning for DT with one try, please read the CRL before buying anything... and I mean anything. Link to comment
Parade477 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 dont forget to leave a bad review on that Etsy page. If he said to you its 501st valid it at least deserves deserves a bad review. 1 Link to comment

It was my bad for not asking him specifically. Link to comment
