Thought I'd just add to this, I got my boots from tkboots and they are excellent! Nicely made, comfortable and just right. As I'm going ROTJ I may have to paint the soles, but I would never have expected them to sell anything that particular. Also quick delivery, to the UK and I didn't get any tax or anything (not sure if I was supposed to)

Ha, dew-rags. What a name - the only reason I know these is from Gears Of War hehe. Thanks all, I've ordered a balaclava from my bodysuit people now.

I'm assembling my first costume (TK) and considering the balaclava, does anyone have any thoughts or preferences? I shave my head, so I don't need it to keep hair in line (!) and I wondered if it might be good for soaking up sweat (ew). But would like to hear others thoughts... thanks!

Thanks for all the info. TBH as this is my first outing into costuming, I'm not sure I feel confident enough to go for centurion, anyway, although I do feel it's possible for the actual armour, I may let myself down on the gun which seems to be by far the most annoying part. I am assuming here that grading can be upgraded at a later date, Ie i can submit for acceptance then expert then maybe even centurion. Right now I'd be overjoyed with level 1 haha!

Loads to think about, thanks. I'm going to start with a doopy resin kit and I've found on these forums a metal scope rail, so that's a decent start. Question. I know the gun isn't part of the 501st certifiction but, if you have one it has be to a certain standard, of course, the 1st grade of which is "Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster." - a pretty wide description really which I'm guessing even my basics will pass?

One question, perhaps dumb but I keep seeing it.... Whats a "greeblie"?! Edit: I just found out. Brilliant.

Thanks, I had seen the Droopys kit, but as it's always called the ANH one, I just wondered if there was a different one available. Not entirely sure what a scope rail is, or why it's missing at this point, but the kits seems a reliable way to begin. Thanks,

Hi All, So my E-11 is proving to be my biggest headache - I'm not even sure where to begin with it! I know it's a little general... but does anyone have any pointers for someone who isn't an experienced builder? thanks
