Submit Your 501st Costume Here / Re: A'Sharad Hett
« Last post by Yesac on Yesterday at 07:25:39 PM »I replied, thank you. I'll go ahead and repost them here so they're all in one spot.
Here are the sabers, and the belt too just in case. They are neopixel so they could be any color but they are set to green per CRL. Top left is A'sharad's and the top right is (his father's) Sharad's, that one I made myself with PVC and a 3d printer based off the CRL of Sharad Hett and Comic images.

The helmet I made myself too with the 3d printer. I have a big head so the bucket is large. I did buy the aluminum metal pieces from a guy on the tusken build forums. Here are pics of that if needed. Should be able to see the red lenses too.

The Imperial Cantina / Re: Just placed the order for my (AM) TK build!
« Last post by 1nfern0 on April 22, 2024, 08:49:33 PM »Exciting!! Best of luck. Definitely register on the FISD forums if you haven't yet: https://www.whitearmor.net
There is a wealth of info on there and if you start a build thread people will be super helpful whenever you have questions (as long as you are polite etc
).
As far as tools definitely get yourself one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-Classic-Snips-8-Inch/dp/B00D096UK2
You might want to get some curved Lexan scissors like these too: https://www.amazon.com/HURON-Precision-LEXAN-Scissors-Curved/dp/B09RQDG9XM
You'll also need some strong rare earth magnets and some plastic clamps to hold bits together while the e6000 glues is drying. I'd say about 6 clamps and 12 or so 3/4"-1" magnets, and another 12 or so 1/4" magnets.
I ordered a kit from RS Propmasters and it was pretty raw when it arrived, which was daunting at first, but I started with the arms and legs, and with help from the forums and RS' Youtube channel it gets easier and easier as you go along.
I HIGHLY suggest RS's Youtube channel no matter what armormaker's stuff you are working with as there are some great tips and info about how the originals came together on there, as long as you don't mind a little crude humor from time to time: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLylZBXOeIZgnM256-WdjM5oMLygc-_4pZ&feature=shared

The Imperial Cantina / Just placed the order for my (AM) TK build!
« Last post by Maeve on April 22, 2024, 08:14:29 PM »A question for anyone and everyone, how long did it take you to finish your first build? How “finished” did you order your pieces? What tools did you use? I’m planning on using my Dremel and sandpaper, and glue for the lenses.
