TheSenate501

Hello everyone! i am still in the process of gathering all materials needed for my complete set, but I figured I would start the WIP as the helmet I purchased has just arrived! As of right now I am only looking for basic approval as I want to get trooping for next year at Megacon, maybe I’ll try for Lancer one day but we shall see with my schedule and money This is my first ever time building armor as I have always bought armor off of unverified vendors from Etsy and well let’s just say some of the armor I have bought has been very subpar at best haha. PLEASE provide any critique or criticism as I am very excited about this and really really want to join the 501st! Thank you all in advance and I will post updates regularly! Parts and Vendors: Helmet: New Image Prop Replicas Armor Kit: MonCals Prop Shop Jumpsuit and Neck Seal: KriptonTop Vest and Cummerbund: KriptonTop Boots: Keep Trooping Balaclava: I just have a black Nike one Gloves: TBD but thinking about Wampa Wear

I have decided to go with the MC Scout! I’ll open a new thread on the build progress, thank you all for the advice!

Dang that’s unfortunate to hear, is there nothing that’s really salvageable? If not I totally understand that and I may just gift the armor to my girlfriend cause she wants any kind of armor

Hello! I recently begun my journey to make a scout trooper and due to the limited amount of time I have I decided to buy a made kit off of someone from a Facebook group I’m in. This person did state that the armor was not 501st approvable which I understood, but I also looked over his armor before buying to see what could be salvageable. So far I have ruled out that the flight suit, cummerbund, and possibly chest and back armor are not acceptable but I am also torn on the chest and back armor because it looks like I may be able to save it without having to scout out the internet for replacement armor. Attached is a google drive link with pictures of all the armor from the vendor after arriving at my house, any help identifying if this is acceptable/can be saved for all the armor is greatly appreciated! I did refer to the CRLs and it looks like most armor falls in line, but I am new and have never made armor before so I could be wrong!
