Hi there, I'm new here.

I'm very interested in Clone Trooper Armour, especially Episode 3.

Does anyone have any idea where can I aqquire a set locally?

Here's a picture I took from Cosfest 06. Very impressive Clone Trooper Armour.

Any idea who made it?

Rest easy folks, I may have a solution soon for a clone trooper armour set that will hopefully fit every ones budget. Once I have the details, I'll release the info.

That armour set was initially trimmed for someone shorter than redandblue...

redandblue - you'll need to be mindful of your poses on 24 Sep to minmise exposure of your undersuit at the legs. I'll confirm you for the event. See you then. :wink:

*ahem

Excuse me, shorter? I don't think so. Long time since I've been here, but yeah.

For the record, that armour was initially trimmed to my size(i was supposed to be the owner of that armour), and I can say for a fact I am TALLER than redandblue (considering I stood side by side with him to compare height and size when he recieved his costume). Not everyone is short, although I'm sure Will will outgrow me height one day, considering his age.

If anything, I mean I'm no "expert", but I guess anyone who knows his salt in costuming can see that he's got his groin piece too high up (as pointed out by Jedi_Slayer). Also from the small pictures and what you mentioned about hard to walk, I'll say you need to trim it down more. The butt piece looks to be too big/long for you, thereby causing it to come in contact with the thigh pieces and also the shins look too long causing it to 'hang over' your boots. Both factors causing walking difficult.

Please don't take any offence Will, none was meant at you. =) If you need help with the costume can always call me yeah? =)

As to Epi 3 Clone Armour, Akan Datang. I'm currently working on my very own armour. Nothing feels better than armour sculpted with my own two hands. =p I promise it will blow your mind. =)

Cheers
