Clone trooper Phase two 332nd Company

[Bolt_2112]

Hi Blazer

My name is Bolt and I'm one of the Clone trooper mentors here in the Redbacks

To answer your questions;

Unfortunately no, your helmet is not approvable for two reasons

The first one (and the biggest one facing your build) is:
Realistic interpretations of animated characters are not approvable. The 332nd trooper is an Animated Clone from the Clone Wars. Therefore you will need an animated helmet, like the one on the 332nd trooper CRL: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Cost...T_CW_332nd

The second reason is that realistic Phase 2 Clone troopers need a neck ring, and yours does not have one. See this CRL as an example of approvable Phase 2 Clone trooper armour:

I hope that the kit you have ordered from Chris is an animated one if you want to pursue this costume. Again as other members have mentioned, please ask questions and do research before buying kits.

To answer your other question, I find that the black body suits you can find at Aldi are the best for clone costumes! They are cheap and easy to find.
As for boots, you will have to decide if you are doing an animated costume or a realistic one first.
For realistic boots, I find Imperial Boots to be a good choice.
For animated boots, CrowProps makes a good pair.
