Ok so I have my first project, it's a clone paratrooper bucket from a company called the star fortress. What does everyone think of this?
There is also a clone commander Keller that wears the same suit but with stylized markings
Is it a better idea to do a character or a trooper first?

the paratrooper would be easier.... keller looks a bit more complicated.
as for character vs trooper.. characters/commanders ten to have paint on them, and with more weathering and a couple more extras(macrobinocs, etc).. so depends how confident you are with painting/weathing your kit.

Yes, if you don't muck about and have some help, and clamps, lots of clamps.

"Is it at all possible to build a tk from scratch in one ap?"
If you want to do it right then I would say no unless you have about 6 or more people that have done it all before doing most of the work for you. Even then it would be a rush job and you may stuff it up. Ask about webbing fiascos haha. Take your time mate. It is great to be armoured up but better to be armoured up and in a really well put together suit. Even Mouldman would be hard pressed to get a whole suit looking great in a day and he has put together a whole lot of suits and I have cut about 10 out myself.
Just my 2 cents

Hehe some claim they can do that, but from trimming to gluing to webbing, there are thousands of tiny time consuming tasks that pop up.
At one AP, the boys decided I needed to get gluing and I kept putting it off. Eventually I got scolded and kidnapped, along with my armor.. a few guys took off with armfulls of armor and came back with them all glued and sanded *lol* Depends how people feel on the day, some days are absolute powerhouses for armoring, other days are like.. Yep.. I glued this peice of fabric to this peice of plastic... annnnd Im done, hand me a coke willya?

I was talking about FX or AM where it's already trimmed. You just gotta assemble it, web it and make it fit....
