Hello everyone! My name is Justin. My brother and I are interested in joining the 501st Midwest Garrison. We recently went to this years Chicago C2E2 and cosplayed as Death Troopers from Rogue One. The Death Troopers instantly became one of our favorite characters in Star Wars and we knew that was what we would cosplay as. They don't sell any authentic Death Trooper costumes so my brother and I had to make our own. We put many long working hours into making the suits but we were very happy with the end results. You can find some of our photos from C2E2 if look up #deathtrooperbrothers on instagram. We are both really excited to become members of the 501st and look forward to meeting the other members.
Thank you,
Justin

Re: Hello Everyone
Welcome to the family Justin, I remember taking to you a few times during C2E2.
Yesterday I did nothing and today I'm finishing what I started yesterday.

Re: Hello Everyone
Welcome to the group! I remember your death troopers! Were they 3D printed? I am currently 3D printing a Shoretrooper costume so they definitely caught my eye! Again, welcome!

Re: Hello Everyone
Thanks! Yes, everything except for the helmet was 3D print. We bought the tactical vest and magazine pouches separately. Good luck with your 3D print Shoretrooper! I recommend buying various kinds of sand-paper to sand down the armor because sometime the 3D print comes out rough. Then prime it before you put on the final layer of paint. Thanks for the welcoming!
