Here are some photos of my 501 ST CLONE from an event we did last year. A good word of advise is to take your time with your clone build. If you don't fit the forearms, thighs and calves correctly the costume will look funny. I am letting my clone weather naturally with use.

Mentor report:

I saw this armor in person yesterday and I'm glad to see that Bryan and Shane got their armor. Since it's Bozo armor, I was curious to see if much had changed with it since I got mine. I could tell that the shins are shorter and I'm sure there are other changes. Next week I'll be taking my armor to show the guys and make some comparisons.

The forearms need to be turned out more. the Compad should sit in line with your hand plate on your right hand .

Today at lunch, I went over to see Shane's armor, 501st clone, and it looks great! He just has one or two small things to do and he'll be ready for approval. Bryan's armor is looking good too.
