Hello Howdy!
« on: December 16, 2019, 02:09:40 PM »
Hello Everyone,

My names Will and I’m from the Tigard/Portland area born and raised. I’ve been really hoping to meet more people to share my hobbies with and my love for Star Wars. I’ve never made my own costume or Cosplay but have been thinking of joining the 501st for a long time. I’m hoping to start putting a Phase 1 Clone Captain Armor set this new year. I’m also into figure and toy collecting.

I’ve always wanted to be a clone, since the Original Clone Wars Cartoon on Cartoon Network. I think it would be an excellent place to start! I’ve started the process for making an account for the Clone Detachment of the 501st but any and all info will always be appreciated. I don’t know much but want to make my dreams come true and meet like minded people.

I hope everyone is having a great day :)

Welcome Will! Sounds like you're off to a good start. So with clones they're duel approvable for both Rebel and 501st.

Yeah they are the only costumes with this particular perk. Were you thinking of a specific character? You also have choices of realistic and animated for some. I'm a TK but if I ever go to a clone I'm all about a Phase II Commander Fox.

There is no particular character, but in chapter 3 when the Clones fight their way through the city, that blew my mind as a kid. The commander from that episode is what I think of when I think of Clone Trooper. He has the pauldron and skirt. I couldn’t find a specific Armor graphic for him but I didn’t checked the animated section, I may do that.  Good choices! My wife are I are starting to watch through the newer cannon Clone Wars series. I don’t know the characters too well but I’m excited to see them in action! How long have you been a TK?

If he is red then that sounds like Fordo. Just a bit over a year and working on my second set of TK based armor, a crimson trooper basically a red TK.

Just wait until you get to season 6. Almost done with it, down to the last shin and then just need to add on the ammo pack and sniper knee and the body is done Then it is fitting and strapping After that I need a belt and silicone hand plates. If you're on FB dig me up.

I can’t wait! That’s awesome, down to the little bits. I’m hoping to dive into the forums after work to see what I can find on getting started.
