I also have two very special offers.
I have a complete set of 12” Hasbor figures and 3 3/4” figures for sale on my website.
If you purchase the 12” set I will build you a complete E2 Clonetrooper. This will include a
complete white suit of armor, a E2 helmet, a E2 Pilot with chest box and one long DC-15 rifle.
All assembled and painted by myself. ($2800.00 plus shipping)
http://www.dwdesignstudios.com/forsale2.html

If you purchase all of the 3 3/4” carded figures I will send you a complete Clone kit and E2 grunt helmet.
You would have to assemble them yourself. ($1400.00 plus shipping)
http://www.dwdesignstudios.com/forsale1.html

i am fairly interested in getting into a clone, and this seems as good a deal as any. though i am wondering why you went with HIPS over ABS? isn't HIPS notorious for not holding paint and then yellowing over time? unless there's a type of primer that will adhere to it then i guess i don't know what i'm talking about.

personally I like HIPS - despite it being 'softer' then ABS, the pulls are sharper and cleaner IMHO. I have had clone6 and java armor - both or which are HIPS - had no problem with paint sticking after all the usual prep work. And with the clones and all taht semaless buidling, the whole things gets well sanded down anyways. Yellowing.... again, yeah it can do that (btu we do get a lot less sun on this side of the pond), besides who wants a nice clean clone anyway???

for this price - its an excellent kit in HIPS. The main alternative in ABS would of course be OSCS, which is abt the same price.

Let us know when ep2 helmets are ready again, please +photos if possible

Wish I wasnt building a Boba was gonna build an ARC trooper but got caught up in the Fett...maybe in a year or so would totally jump on this

Wow Heatshock, I could not have said it better.
I would think ABS would be better for something you didn't plan on painting, kind of like a Stormtrooper suit.
I have been building suit's out of HIPS since early 2005 and have no problem with paint sticking.
You have to prep it with Primer and I have always use Krylon Fusion paint (which is made for painting plastic).
Plus like Heatshock said, you have to glue, bondo and sand the seams.
Thanks, Darren

I forgot to mention, the first 5 orders get a free DW Design Studios T-Shirt!
Thanks again, Darren

I miss my Clonesix suit. I realize now how much sharper the pulls are, of the particular gauge of HIPS used. I still dig my Sci-Fire, but it has been alot of work so far. Once I am finished I am going to do another Clonesix for sure. Darren, I dig the new Revised Belt Boxes too. Mine started with the original, thinner resin ones (which I upgraded) The pulls look real clean too. Pride of Clonemanship Good job!

Thanks Replicant Shadow! I will have a suit ready for you when you need it!
Darren

Wow! great suits! I would love to have one of these, one question though what is the average height that these are made to fit? I have purchased suits before (though not nearly as good workmanship involved) and all of them are way to big for me.
Thanks

They were built for someone around 6'0" and 190 lbs.
I have seen them done by people larger and smaller.
As far as a exact size for smaller people, sorry I just don't know.
I know the max for someone bigger is around 6'4" and 230 lbs.
Darren

I am 5' 10' and weighed roughly 187 when I finished mine almost 3 years ago. I had to alot of cutting and trimming, but I got it work out just fine. Though, I did have to wear boots that had a higher sole (1.5 inch soles) to compensate for mass and scale.

Thanks for the help guys! Here is where being short really stinks, I cannot find any top quality suits for someone who is 5'4", does anyone know where I might find one that wouldn't look completely rediculous after I have trimmed it down? I want it to look good and be troopable not look like "wow thats waaay to big" if you get my drift :-)

I just read about one...O.S.C.S. but its for 5'8" - 5' 10"

the problem with clone suits is that the original CGI models were supposed to be 6 foot plus.
seen some shorter guys pull off a a nice clone, but scale will be an issue.

with any armor - having too much is seldom a problem. Having too little is. Technically with careful cutting down it should be ok. But I think you are right abt not being able to pull off the look.
I know of some shorter skinny guys who have used a combo of lifts and muscle suits to get the look right.

on the plus side the C6 and Java sets are for skinnier blokes I would say. And the HIPS would be much easier to trim down an the super .0125 thick ABS OSCS short suits are.

btw - I dont mean to keep going on abt the C6 armor. I dont know Darren or Clone6, and am not involved in any of the manufacture or selling of this armor - I am just a major fan(despite the OSCS and Java alternatives being just as good)!! I am really happy to see it back in production!

any price check on the clone lid yet Darren?

Nate

I'm seriously working on my wife to let me get a clone suit... I'm slowly wearing her down...

Thanks again guys. maybe i should pick a different character maybe a boba or jango (yes I know technically they are the same height as a clone) then again I might try to see if I can pull it off, I just love clones and stormstroopers! :-)

Do what you WANT to do dont settle...anything can be done just need to work to pull it off

yeah - wasnt meaning to put you off tatem - wasnt my intention

it can be done - I have seen a really nice 5'6'' trooper look real good - just needs more work

there are also kids in really nice suits eg zerovisibilites suits are a great example.

the problem will be to keep symmetry - ie a bit off all the component pieces rather than just a lot from teh main pieces - lots of experienced builders on clonetroopers.net or clone-empire to help you through it too.
alternatively - as Darren , he has done 1 or 2 suits in his time I hear ;P

Nate

no problem heatshock, I didn't feel put off. Thanks for the other forum suggestions! I am waiting to be approved at clone-empire and will sign up for clonetroopers.net. In the mean time I might build a fett to get a little more practice before I attempt a build of that... umm.. intensity :-). Thanks again for all the help guys! I will (hopefully) post a WIP soon!

You do know a Fett costs double what a clone costs right? Done right and painting a fett is a bit harder

Man I have so been wanting one of these since C3!

wow, I didn't realize that it was that big of a difference in price, thanks man, I think I will do a clone first! The only armor I have made is a bounty hunter that my sister made up, I forget what she called it but it was kind of mandalonian-ish. Since then I have kinda been in and out of this hobby and I had forgotten that what looks easier and cheaper to make isn't always... obviously I haven't done my research on fett armor...

If you do it right it will be about 3k for a decent boba...if you paint it yourself...if you try and get stuff already painted or get it painted who knows people charge quite a bit for that

Yep, C3 os where I first troop in my suit. 2005

Here is another fun one from Comic Con a few years back.

thats an awesome pic I WANT ONE SO BAD! You gonna make some more next year and ship one to Japan?

Great picture
Any info on helmets ?

Sorry, nothing really new. Each weekend we are getting closer to being done. We just finished the fiberglass work this past weekend on the E2 Grunt.
Attached is a photo of the previous weekend. The whole process is much more involved and time consuming than I realized. I just want to assure everyone
we are moving forward.
Thanks, Darren

Thanks for the info ! Looks good so far and I hope you'll be offering these soon, this time I'll surely get one for myself. Let us know when it's ready and how is progress going

I still really want a clone helmet dangit...I think Ima get one here next month Im finished buying stuff for the fett

If you guys are looking for top notch armor, Darren is the man! this armor is sick.

You mentioned a DC-15 Long Rifle that you'll include with the sale fo your 12" figures. Do you have pics of the rifle? Is it possible to get just the rifle as a kit?
If so, what would the price be?

No, sorry I only have one that I use and one that I can give away. I do have a local garrison member that is working on one. Its going to be a three piece mold that can be broken down for easier transportation. We are both currently working on new suits for Wonder Con. But after that, he is going to go full steam ahead to get these produced.
What we all need is a great DC-15 long rifle kit at a $200.00 price point. Trust me, when they are done I will be sure to pass his info on to everyone.
Thanks, Darren
BTW, here is a little teaser of my new suit! I hope to debut it next Friday at Wonder Con in San Francisco!

Ok selling car next weekend...Think Ill be getting a bucket from you if they FS seperate...Wife would kill me if i bought clone armor at least right now.

Oh my gosh I want clone armor! Never thought about it beforw, but your pics won me over.
I can see me calling my student loan company up....."uh, yeah, I have some, uh, unexpected costs that totally relate to college, and uh, I need more money. My future happiness is at stake, I mean, my grades are at stake!"

Ep. 2 shock trooper looks great !
Any update on the helmets (ep2 especially) ?

C6/DW Design E2 Pilot update.
We are currently moving forward with the E2 Clone Pilot/Chest Box kit.
Things are just taking a bit longer than I first guessed. Attached are the photos

The hoses in the photo are split in the back and are not going to work.
If someone has a good source for black corrugated hoses please contact me.
I am NOT taking orders yet and will not take any money until they are done and
ready to ship.

Took the words right from my fingers, any news Darren?

How much would a armor kit cost? I can't afford a completed set but I might with just the basic parts.

775 right up above brother...no helmet just armor and belt only way to beat that is to steal it from a scrawny clone...cant wait to get mine

Can this armor be converted to use as ARC armor?

Of course...ARC armor is Standard issue stuff with added pieces like the Kama pauldron Range Finder blasters where applicable and paint...

Those clone suits are sweet. I particularly like the ARC trooper on the site.

I suppose that the pilot does not come with the hoses, right?

Christopher
Still Training On Kamino

I believe Darren said he's still looking for a supplier for the hoses as the ones you see in the pics are split up the backside3 like cable hiders

Very interested in one of those sweet Clone Pilot buckets.... any closer to giving us an ETA?

The E2 Pilot Helmet and Chest Boxes are done and ready to ship.
There are two different options available.

E2 Pilot Helmet/Chest Box Combo “A” are $375.00 + shipping.
E2 Pilot Helmet/Chest Box Combo “B” are $275.00 + shipping.
Bonus Kits are $25.00.

The Pilot Helmet mold didn't last as long as I would have liked.
I only have 9 perfect “A” helmet kits and only 9 “B” helmet kits available.
Unfortunately this is all that I can offer.

The mold ripped on both of the ear area’s near the front.
The “B” helmets will need more work and cleanup in the ear areas.
About 10 casts later the inset chin area ripped out.
This ended my run of Pilot helmets until a new mold can be made.

These helmets may be offered again next year but unfortunately a new mold will have
to be produced. I do not have the skills to make a new mold so if/when this will happen
I do not know.

The bonus kits include the following;
Helmet items include 8 magnets, visor, padding, mesh and cogs.
Box items include 2 hoses, 6 magnets, 2 lights, mirrored tape and plastic cover for the
back of the box.

Please PM me with your choice of “A” or “B” kits and your zip code for a shipping quote.

Thanks, Darren

Hello everyone,
I apologize for not being on the forums lately. I have been working
on a 501st Clonetrooper suit for a client.
I have finished the suit and will be getting back to everyone within
a couple of day. I will also start on the tutorials for the E2 helmet and
E2 Pilot helmet and box this week.
Thanks, Darren
