gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I would recomend sticking with suppliers on the vetted list, you can find it in the Getting Started section. Purchase from a vetted seller and you will be sure you can have your costume 501st approved. Research is the key to this hobby so you have a little reading in front of you, good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydirium1[TK] Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not the way it is built in the picture. Not to sure about that bucket either. The dome or top of the helmet is a little large . If you bought it as a kit and put it together yourself you could eliminate some of the other problems in the build. Still I would recommend going with on of the vetted makers. True you would spend a couple hundred more in doing so. But you have the piece of mind in knowing that you are not potentially wasting a couple of hundred. The builder of the suit pictured is not an experienced builder. There are several things that were not done correctly. That tells me that there a potentially several other things that may not be done right as well. You might get by with that as a Halloween costume, but if you are going for 501st approval then I would leave that alone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
