Hello from Rockhampton - EvolvedChaos218 - Saturday 2-May-2015
Hey guys,
My name is Kyle and I have just started looking into getting a clone trooper armor set, specifically an ARF trooper set.
http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CX_CW-animated_ARF-camo
I have been a star wars nut since before I can remember so I really would like to get the ball rolling on this. Any hints/tips on
how to build and where to get a kit from would be most appreciated. I also plan to use a D-15A rifle with this set, so any details
on that would also be appreciated.
I am looking forward to getting to know the community and share some good times.
Thanks heaps.

would this be acceptable for a base ARF helmet model?

Hi and welcome. That armour in the link looked like Starfortress, stay away.
I'd recommend http://imperialsurplus.com
Cheers Ken

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Thanks for the heads up, I sent an email to imperial surplus asking for a quote.
Let the saving begin.

Hi there Kyle, welcome to the Redback forums.
As muppet if it is starfortress keep away from them, nothing but bad reports. Use the link that he provided as they make some great clone gear.
You are on the right track using the CRL.
For your research, I strongly advise you to sign up on the Clone Trooper detachment. It is the place for all clone trooper info and you will also find a list of vetted armour supliers:

While you are in the reading mode have a read through these threads to give you an idea on membership and applications:

More importantly if you have any questions just ask.
Good luck and have fun.

Welcome Kyle, I'm Michael, we've got a few clones in Rockhampton (Cody - myself, Rex, Trauma, Deviss).
As everyone else is suggesting get registered on the clone forums.
Avoid ebay (unless you are absolutely certain of what you are buying) there are some dodgy sellers out there, so get advice from other members.
Happy to meet up and have you look over our costumes.

hey Michael,
I was at stockland today while you guys where there. I put the pic of us on the facebook page.
I've registered on the clone forums
I just need to browse them more. From what I have seen all I need to find is some clone armor and the ARF helmet.
I'm just waiting on a reply from imperial surplus.
I'd love to check your clone armor out when ever you are free. Shoot me a pm and we can organize something
Thanks heaps guys!
