Ottawa Usefull Links

Here is where we provide links to Star Wars Websites that we like, and tell why we like them.

Personally I like Costume and Prop making so most of mine will likely have something to do with that, but please post any you like, and I will coalate them all into a consolodated Links post every Month.

http://www.imperial-fleet.com/bbcforum/index.php
This is a Prop Building site that has some rebel stuff but mostly Imperial. These guys have FANTASTIC tutorials and printable Templates, especially Blasters!

http://bigyellowbox.tripod.com/index.htm
This is a Lightsaber Tutorial page, and while the pricing information is about 10 years old, the page is still quite valid. You may need to make some substitutions with some of the parts, and you will need to be creative, but it gave me a great starting place and a great go foreward strategy.

http://clonetroopers.net/Forum/index.php?showforum=12
If your into Clone Troopers, this is your definitive site. These guys even have one of the Writers of the Clone Wars books as an activly posting member! Great site!

 

The Rebel Legion
The premier "good guy" Star Wars costuming group. Sister club to the Fighting 501st. Quickly approaching 1,000 members worldwide (as I write this), and an excellent overall resource. You don't even need to be a member first! Sign up, ask the questions you need, get advice, and make a great costume. Then you can submit your application for full membership.

Rebel Legion, Canadian Base Forum
Direct link to the Canadian Base message forum. Drop by and say hello!

 

http://www.rabittooth.com/
This is a Fan site, but has quite likely the best wallpapers that I have ever seen. Check this one out!

http://www.thesith.com/
Another good picture site for wallpapers and the like.

http://www.geocities.com/lord_sabrestrike69/CEmain.html
Exelent resource for the Imperial Guards and the Crimson Empire.

 

www.rubies.com
You cant actually buy anything here, as they are a manufacturer, however you can see everything they make.

 

Kay Dee over on the Costumes and Props forum took these fantastic pictures at the FIDM exibit and posted them here.

This is probably the best Boot link I have ever found.

http://www.heartofanempire.com

This is a Fan Film site of sorts where a guy is making a really impressive documentary of the Charity/Costuming group "The 501st"

 

OK this is probably the best tutorial I have ever seen for a cheap and easy armour making material with good looking results!!

Blaster and lightsaber parts.

 

If you need black riding boots I'd get them here http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=259615 some of us use those for our Wehrmacht impression. You can get them in brown at other places too and for $30 it's a much better deal, any alterations needed can be done quite easyly, you can get taller jack boots at other places as well for not much more.
