Head over to Clontroopers.net.
But don't expect a one-stop-shop experience. Building Clone armor involves multiple artists to source parts from, a minimum of $1500 in materials and no less than 6 months to a year of dedicated build time.
I make a habit of telling any aspiring Clones that the project is really geared only towards an advanced builder, and you should have some experience building Stormtrooper armor or equivalent first.

I recommend OSCS (kwdesigns) armor with knee/elbow foam inserts, resin detail plate and comm pad. Then add Steelblitz belt set, shoe details and straps (shoulder, elbow, knee). EVO3 makes a real nice Cody Episode III helmet. Those are what I consider to be the pieces of the best quality/price right now.
Once you have those, then you have to trim, assemble, putty and paint them.
You may have to do all the detail pieces on the Cody armor yourself, plus modify a pair of sneakers into proper clonetrooper shoes. There are no readily available shoes of any decent quality or accuracy, as far as I have seen.
I agree on everything in TK1536s post: The Clone Trooper costume will take you a whole lot of work to finish.

Thanks for the info. If possible I am looking for the armor pre built as I live in a apartment and really don't have the space to start making molds or spraying. I don't mind if I have to trim it down to fit me as I have already had to do that with the Shepperton Stormtrooper armor.
Essentially I am looking for a starting block if anyone knows were to start.

I have had a look at Clonetroopers.net and there are some cool threads but I have never got on with the uk 501st. Anyway are there any other good website to have a look at and does anyone know is starfortress is any good for Clone armor?
(Again hope I havent infringed on any forum rules with mentioning a company)

I would do a search of starfortress on this or any forums
avoid like the plague
aside from being a recaster, dodgy business practices; he is alleged to be a fugitive from US law regarding some unsavoury accusations of paedophilia
Lars and Mike - have said all the right things already
I'll watch out this potential UK cloner guys ;P
pm sent mate
ps clones can troop with 501 OR Rebel Legion

When people say "Stay away from eBay" when talking about clone armour, that usually includes Starfortress.
Clone Empire is another active clone trooper costuming forum, not affiliated with either Legion.
There are a few clone troopers (and future clone troopers) in the Rebel Legion Elstree Base (UK). I think the best way to get in contact with them would be on their forum.
Getting to meet people and see armour in person is much better than doing it on a forum.

As Darth Lars, I recommend kwdesigns, I bought the clone trooper armor kit standard with him. You can find the clone armor animated too !
With steelblitz for belt set, boots straps, compad...
I recommand EVO3 for Holster, blaster...
I live in New-Caledonia in South Pacific between Australia and New-Zealand.
No problem to shipping to me.
