SpudSucker’s WIP

[SpudSucker]

I’ve been following the 501st since I was a kid, and I’ve finally resolved to try and do a 501st approved costume of my favorite modern Star Wars trooper. I’ll be getting a 3D printer within the month, but I’m still a bit overwhelmed by the entire process if I’m abit honest. Going to try and post the process over the next year or so here so I can track my own progress and help others avoid the mistakes that I’m sure I’m going to make.

I'm currently 3d printing mine as well. I've been documenting in my WIP thread. If you have any questions, let me know, I'm happy to help. Mr Poopie and several others have been a great help to me thus far.

I’ve been reading along in the shadows for abit now, and seeing how helpful everyone is here towards each other was part of the reason I decided to actually go ahead with making the costume

@Hask @Ruthar are our PT armorers and they can help guide you through the build process.  @MrPoopie, besides being a PT himself, designed 3D files for it and is our 3D printer expert. He also did his own jacket, since the original source for it dried up.   Feel free to post up any questions you have about the costume here.
