Hi all,
I’m looking for any 501st or other costume makers
I am trying to get a 501st approved clone trooper and I am looking for advice/assistance in making an ABS molded plate that looks like the gray piece in the attached picture. It needs to stack on top of the white piece. I don’t have any experience molding/sculpting, and this will be the only piece I have to make myself. Everything else I already have sourced from the Clone Detachment Forums. I can get the white chest piece to use as the base to form the outer gray piece.
Some previous discussions suggested maybe using the CNC router, using clay, and using some rigid light foam from Smooth-on to make a mold. The end goal is to have a buck to form the gray chest piece in a vacuum forming machine out of ABS.
Please let me know if you or someone you know might be able to help.
Ben
