Thanks I'll make sure to keep an eye out. If i did the uniform it would be the black staff uniform which seems to have a lot of legion aprovable customizability. I generally like the new trooper design from R1 like shoretroopers, hovertank pilot, AT-ACT pilot. Looks a lot more maneuverable then other trooper armors i also like the E22 the shoretroopers get to use. But about that TK Its an etsy seller MakerofsoftthingsStudio I'd give you the link but I'm not sure how to do that through the app. They have 2 things on their shop both TK armor.

Oh..Totally not what i thought it was, Thought it had something to do with using a weaker material or something along those lines.

Mind if i ask why its frowned upon? I'm new to cosplay in general along with the 501st. I'm not the biggest TK fan its why i considered it at the low price i prefer the look of black or weathered armor vs white.

Found a seller online who does raw 3d prints of the whole kit. The guy acknowledged that the same kits can sell for 1k plus over DMs. His reviews seem pretty good including someone who bought specifically for the 501st. I thought it was weird to because it seems to cheap considering all the TKs I've seen go anywhere between $500-1k plus.

I've asked around on a few detachment forums to try and pin down what my first costumes should be. I'm down to 3 maybe 4 costumes those being ANH stormtrooper, shoretrooper captain, staff officer or maybe tie pilot (i don't think i found a screen accurate one yet). For pricing from what I've been able to find (cheapest in price range) Screen accurate ANH TK kit $350 Shore trooper kit $400 - $500 Staff uniform bought in pieces I'm going to go with $270 - $300 total For fitting I'm 5'3 or 5'4 male the ANH kit would require A LOT of work to fit me, The staff uniform can be fitted pretty easily. How well could the shoretrooper be trimmed down to fit? It looks like a lot less hard armor than the TK Mostly being torso and arms.
