    £50=about£80

    I'm looking for a home made one. Ive seen tutorials where people have made them but i do not have the right stuff to make the moulds. If someone could just make the moulds for me, that would probably be better.

    Yeah, I think i searched around hat site a while ago. They look brilliant, but way out of my budget. Prehaps I'll have to make one myself...[face_worried]

    to make one yourself that looks halfway decent would cost you as much to buy one of the kits, or more. Making storm/clone armor is not something you can just knock out in a weekend.

    I do know someone that's selling a used stormy suit for $350, no soft goods, blaster or boots.

    Not to steal away this thread, but I was hoping to find a RotS Clonetrooper Helmet for Halloween, but the only one I've seen advertised is way too cheap.

    I know Master Replicas had some beauties but $400 is a bit out of my price range. Is there an Episode III Clonetrooper mask out there somewhere?

    yes. i think even someone who has made one at home wouldn't sell it for how low you are talking. just due to the materials, molds, effort, etc. that goes into these tropper armor.

    I agree, materials alone cost more than that. And mold making/armor construction is a very time consuming process.

    Just post a request on the 501st message board and see where that gets you, theres a guy in the Dune Sea Garrison of the 501st that made this awesome costume and helped the Tucson Fan Force raise 1000 for katrina victims! He has his own vacuumolding machine

    You'll need an EZboard account, if you don't already have one. They do have a link on their main site at 501st.com, but here's a direct link: Message board
