What costume sould I do next?

[Predatormv]

Ok so I spent most of 05 finnishing and upgrading my pre-pro2 boba fett costume and while it is never really done I need something new to work on. I scrapped two other projects this year due either to lack of funds or loss of intrest (Jango and a full size wampa) I am working on a ANH style tusken raider now but I want opnions on what to do next.

Ok so here are the choices in no order.
1. Snowtrooper
2. Stormtrooper
3. "Beehive" clone trooper (I already have the helmet for this)
4. Bikerscout
5. Something else?

I am kind of shying away from the clone trooper only because I have been painting clone armor for a couple of my garrison members and am pretty sick of it at this point.

Support your opnions with at least some sort of crazy reason.

Thanks.

Snowtrooper. Not enough of them out there.

I'm partial to Biker Scouts as stormtroopers are common place now. I'd love to have a set of camouflage armor worn by the troopers during the battle for Kashyyyk.

Agreed. Biker Scout all the way. Just a super cool helmet, and less of them out there.

 

[OldKen]

there is a clone suit in the JY right now...

use it with your beehive, and thats a cheap and rare, and cool suit. :thumbsup

 

[firebladejedi]

I say the snow trooper thats one cool costume that not many undertake :thumbsup

Im gonna get ripped for this but i would go with number 5

id love to see some one attempt either A Cloud City Pod Car Pilot, or the Pilot Costume from ROS the guy that guides Annakin into Couracent

ill look for pics to give you an idea

 

[Prometheus]

ATAT driver.
Slightly different from Stormtroopers, but just as cool.

 

[Predatormv]

Yea I think SKAUGHT (a member here) did a cloud car pilot a few years ago and got called by starwars insider " a guy dressed as the action figure no one wanted".

I was thinking about the AT-AT driver but the parts are just too hard to source for them so I am leaning away from that one. (damn you moon boots..)

 

[Prometheus]

Well yes, accurate moonboots can be hard to come by, unless you dont mind purchasing a pair from the controversal Starfortress..
Overall, i think ATAT driver costume is cheaper than a regular trooper.
Just take the ATAT driver as a regular trooper in fatigues. The familar facemask on the helmet is almost an instant recognition for the general public.

 

[Darth Lars]

Why only bad guys?

How about a Hoth rebel soldier (or commander) ? There are so few of them out there, and the Rebel side definitely needs more men..
I think it would be more comfortable than armor, even with a padded jacket, because you could ... move in it, .. and ... [¡]see[/i]. :angel

 

[Boba Frett]

I say go for the Beehive, besides you already have the helmet.

 

[Predatormv]

Yea I hate good guy costumes, I just don't think any of them look that good. It's not like I have some evil complex I just don't like the costumes.

I have decided that I am going to do an A'Sharad Hett costume (the tusken jedi from the clone wars comics) but he is just cool looking. I figured it would be pretty easy to do since I am working on the tusken anyway.

And next I think I have decided to do the Snowtrooper. Perhaps when I get it finnished I will come back to the beehive.

 

[kell]

No, go with Lando, nobody does a Lando...... :lol

 

[Predatormv]

Not to get racial but I am so white I am nearly clear, I doubt I could pull off lando with out offending someone.

But on a side note I have actually seen a couple of Landos only at big star wars cons like C3 and C2 but I have seen them.

 

[robstyle]

Thats it, I am doing a Lando costume

It's become a different playing field at this point; realize that EVERY Boba and EVERY Jango, not to mention every freaking clonetrooper out there who takes their helmet off is supposed to look like this:

So I wouldn't worry too much about it, and Lando is all about the attitude anyway B)

Edit: Just leave the Colt .45 at home

 

[Jumpin Jax]

So what did you decide?

 

[Predatormv]

I am doing the A'Sharad Hett costume right now (the tusken jedi from the clone wars comics). Then since someone decided to start selling his Boba armor again I am upgrading my Fett with new armor, vest and a helmet repaint. And then it is going to be the.....










wait for it....











Snowtrooper.
