A little nudge to those without Quality SW Costume or Armor:
What are you waiting for?  Interested then get yourself a costume/armor! 
As we all know, the SW Exhibition is round the corner so it'll be our Last Confirmed chance to show our passion for SW in another way that some say "are more economical and fun".
We need more Jedi/Sith in other "Canon/EU" colors tho' a Barbie Doll Color Scheme one will be cute.  Plus more Female Characters like Leia or Mon Mothma (hey! her ROTJ costume is very easy to do you know!). And those with a "Gold Mine" should invest in a set of Armor.
Got questions? Need help? Then blast them away here. Help will be given to those who deserved it. 
For a little appertizer, some people are planning (only planning okay) something special for the Opening Night or other days so need more costumed people. One of the plans is asking for 40 (or the nearest possible Even No.) of Jedi & Sith with Red and Blue/Green/Purple FX Lightsabres.

There is still a lot of time to make one. Don't really expect an elaborate one like one of Padme's Gowns but something that regular/casual SW Fan can recognized as being "....from SW and belong to it 100%....". How about one of the Female Jedis or Handmaiden or even someone from the EU?
Heehee.....I also need to increase my amount of SW Costumes; my LOTR ones is exceeding in no. compared to the SW ones!

Well Darth_Eagle I hope more Fan Force members over here response to your call to make STAR WARS Costumes. I'm looking to see more STAR WARS Costumers from Fan Force to greet the MySciFiFan STAR WARS Costumed Contingent when we are over at the Singapore Science come December 2005.

You guys coming over in December? We'll most probably be in full force on opening day in November... Really not sure about December...

Yes Desmond, December 2005 it is and when we have confirmed the dates, I'll officially post this over here, at MySciFiFan and at Movie Mania Forums.
I understand that you guys may not be in full force by December 2005, however, I'm confident that both Fatimah and Reno will be able to assemble a few STAR WARS Costumed characters to meet up with the MySciFiFan STAR WARS Costumed Contingent when we are over at the Singapore Science Centre.

The_SITH_OverLORD, the FanForce side I can settle easily as we are going to have a couple of FanForce Official Outings to the Exhibition during its run here. For LOTR, we had 2 but hope to have more for this SW Exhibition whenever the members are available like during the School Holiday since many members here are students.

Hi,
Im interested in getting a costume actually. As im kinda new in this costuming area, Perhaps someone could direct me as to where i could get started? Im kinda interested in getting myself a clone trooper set (helmet and armor etc) . Ive tried ebay, yahoo.. but neither seems to have a good deal or no deal. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance.

Do you have ~SGD1,500 to spare for the Armor parts only? Our "current" Clonetrooper have to pay even more for his set.
Good Quality Armors will not come cheap.
That is why I said that "those with Gold Mine should look towards getting a set of armor".

hmmm...1.5k is abit over kill ..I think its just the helm for my part .. armor wise i could source myself..any good star wars costume requires a good helmet as a base imo.
besides storm trooper isnt really my cup of tea.. im leaning towards the clone trooper lol... that helmet looks nicer to me. But my main point actually is .. besides those helms offered in Simply toys, are there any other sources? May i ask the current vader/storm trooper, where did they get their gear? was it bought as a set? Or the helm was bought seperately..mmmm questions questions... lol im a newb

well, let's just say any of the current armour in singapore is well over 1K, like DE said, it's roughly 1.5K. Depending on the version and brand you're getting it might cost more. They bought it in a set, full armour with helm. The only thing that didn't came in a set is the blaster which was bought separately. Even then time and effort has to be spent to upgrade it to make it look real.
The helm offer by Simply Toys is the Master Replica ones. They are DAMM good quality and here's the kicker, they are limited stock all over the world. And guess what, it's already sold out! =p Good thing I have a source for it. hur hur hur. There are other helmets on the market, but helm is but part of it. You need a quality armour to complete the look.
I'm the one currenly(and most probably very often in Oct) seen in one of the stormtrooper armour in Singapore, but it is not my armour. It belongs to the local Dark Lord of the Sith. That looks damm good but it cost closer to 2k than anything else. I am also the clone trooper that DE was talking about. My armour was about 1.8K but honestly it could have been cheaper I guess. It would be up soon enough. The armour has already arrived and it is currenltly "pre-production".
The monterary side of things is only one side of the coin. Time and effort is equally important. Once the armour arrives, you still have to cut, trim, sand and paint it. And even more time and effort if you wanna weather it to give it the raggard look.
Lastly, if you looking for a budget armour, chances are it will end up looking DAMM chessy. Trust me on this, when you spend time and effort, not to mention money, you want to look good in your costume. And cheaping out on them is not a way to go. The feeling you get when you're walking ard, posing for picture in a quality looking armour is second to none.
Do p.m. me if you have further questions. Or email me at Crovus@starhub.net.sg. I do know where to get quite a few good sources.
