ok great thank you for all the tips I will certainly give that a go.

Hello, So I have just received my new sewing machine and I have decided that I am going to make the clothing parts for my shore trooper build by hand instead of buying the pieces from cosplay sky or things of that nature. here is my question, is there somewhere I can find a pattern that people have used in the past for the shirt? also I am female so I don't know how much adjustments I will need to do for that in the chest area. (I found the trousers luckily and also the correct fabric) but its more the undershirt that I am a bit confused on. also what is the colour supposed to be? some places where you can buy it I see them being a combination of dark grey and black, others all black? and finally anyone find a good fabric that matches the CRL? im going to look around local shops in London as well but thought I would reach out in addition thanks in advance for time and help

oooh I am going to check this out when I get off my train (photos are loading on the stupid internet)

Oooooh I see! Oh wow that’s a cool extra detail! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good!! And will be following this thread closely!

On the next set of photos can I see what you mean about hobbies black sand? I have been looking at a dremel to sand things in future when I start my kit but maybe I can save money and just do it by hand Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So excited to see your build photos in future

WOW this is one on my radar after the shore trooper! looks great and can't wait to see more updates!

Great thanks for the look over and also the advice! x

oh great thanks so much

I was wondering I know I'm a bit ahead but when you get verified by the 501st can you chose your number? like for example when I finish my Shoretrooper I would want the number to actually be my fathers birthday so it would be ST 0457, and does the number have to be the same across detachments?

So I have come to peace I will not have a 3D printer but I did stumble upon this kit that I think it would be cool to try and do the painting and weathering myself. would you say this one is acceptable? anything else I should look out for? https://imperialsurplus.com/product/shore-trooper-helmet/ thank you in advance

Oh im excited to follow and see how your build is coming along!!!
