Yes it is basically in its infancy but the general idea and thought is/was to get the young ones who suit up with their parents (0-7) into something similar to what their parents are in. 8-12 to...
Kind of an offshoot of the 501st/rebel legion

The problem with doing it any way other than the way that Wesley did it is that it tends to droop and sag after a couple hours of trooping and does not look nearly as "full". The foam is more of a...
Not good not good stone was who I was getting my helmet through
Ok I have broke down and started my ESB Vader build. Going to be fun and expensive lol.

Hand plates and shoulder bells...
Its good to see some activity in here after so many years. Working on a shadow scout then finally will be looking at doing a Vader, so I am sure this thread will come in handy.
The thigh armor looks off because they are sideways and on the wrong legs. The right thigh is also missing the ammo packs. It is hard to tell in the picture but the Left calf piece looks like it is...
Thanks for the compliments!!
Not really, I have a belt and strap system that holds everything in place. Of course with any costume the first time you wear it you find out things that you need to...

Thank you for the comments, I have really enjoyed this build and I am gonna be sad when I dont have it to work on. BUT Sev has the blood all over his armor. Is this overkill????

While waiting on the last piece I need (Steel blitz boot straps)I will post up how I made my shoes.
First I took the tongue of the shoes out
I then used E6000 and put 2 straps of elastic on the...
OK I am avoiding the boots so I am working on the small details. Here is the rest of the knee plates (I have already added the magnets to hold them in place)
I used E6000 to attach a piece of 2...
So I started padding the armor pieces and working on a strapping system. I did get a belt set from the folks as OSCS so that is going to help a lot. Anyway,
I took the shoulder straps from that...
Ok well I finished up weathering the last of the hard armor this weekend and I remembered to take picks of the last step I was doing in the weathering. So here is the forearms and hand plates

Very Nice weather meant my Garage was nice and warm tonight so I broke out the Air Brush. I have used the toy testors air brushes before on my models, but this is the first time I ever used a "Higher...
I tried using pin stripe to tape off the lines for my Forearms so that I could airbrush them today but the stripe kept on lifting off of the curves of the forearms. So after a couple tries I figured...
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?! Bad form!
Not to sure depends on the weather more than anything. I have to paint the blood marks on the calves and air brush them on the forearms and hand plates them the main costume will be done. I then have...
Worked on the back, chest and pack this weekend. I like how it turned out unfortunately the back plate will be covered with the Pack but at least I will know what it looks like under the pack.
