ZacTHill 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2013 So I was pretty excited to hear about this Garrison. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I also do a lot of mission/charity work, and also I'm a sculpture/ visual artist, so when I heard more about the 501st I was all in. Im looking for help on creating a clone commander deviss costume. Any advice would be much appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdhawk 32 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Welcome aboard Zac! So you want to build a Deviss, eh? Hit up a guy on these boards named Clonezilla (Luke). He's a great guy, and has one of those costumes himself. Also, go where Greg linked, as it is a treasure trove of information regarding clones of all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Don't forget to have fun, and welcome aboard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZacTHill 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 I mean I'm new to this but are most of these helmets made from scratch or is there a mold? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laserbrain 1 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Mostly molds, but people do make them from scratch, especially Mandolorians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 276 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Hey Zac! Welcome to the group! I have a clone too, so it'll be good getting another "brother", haha. Like the others have said, clonetroopers.net has tons of info. Luke's Deviss is one of the best, so definitely seek him out. If you have any questions, there are lots of people here with ever-expanding knowledge... we're here for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will set up your access on the clone boards soon. Until then, Luke (also known as Clonezilla) is on these boards. He's around here somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZacTHill 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Cool so where are the molds bought from Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 276 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 There are lots of armor makers out there, most have sculpted their molds and then do vac formed plastic pulls over them, then sell the plastic as a kit. Kits differ in size, detail, accuracy, and of course price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laserbrain 1 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Cool so where are the molds bought from I have seen some threads where the molds are made from a set of armor. Some people get out of the armor making hobby and sell their molds too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 276 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 I have seen some threads where the molds are made from a set of armor. Some people get out of the armor making hobby and sell their molds too. That's referred to as "recasting" and it's typically frowned upon in this hobby, because you're taking somebody else's hard work and research and ripping them off. It's best to either make your own molds from scratch (expensive) or buy a kit and assemble it to fit you. Of course people do sell their molds. But even then you have to be careful you aren't buying somebody else's recast work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZacTHill 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Well I really want to find a commander deviss kit for a good price and change it into a bounty hunter style character with my own additions. But whe. I google the kits nothing comes up. If I could spend more time and money on the modifications rather that the armor it's self I could make armor that would look sick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 276 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 There is lots of info on the clone boards. But it's generally not going to be a "deviss kit". You'll have to get the plain kit, helmet, and add the commander stuff. And also keep in mind the legion will only approve canon characters. Lots of us have custom costumes that we wear to unofficial events. A word of advice when you get on there: don't post a "WTB" (want to buy) thread... they keep those things to private message in order to protect the sellers. All will be revealed in time. Typically, we ask new recruits to come out to an event, look at the different costumes, and see what all is involved. What area are you in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 276 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Generally speaking you won't get into a full clone for less than 1200. Most cost considerably more than that. It's an expensive hobby, but fun and very rewarding when you get to make people happy and sometimes even help raise a little cash for a good cause. Plus, it's FUN!
