Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy these as much as I did getting them today!

GREAT pics!

Man,
Seeing this once me to get clone armor now.:drool

that is one bad-bantha arc trooper!!!

That looks good, really good.

Fantastic job on the clone build Jonathan, the fit looks very clean and the paint and weathering really shine through, this has been one of the best assembly build threads I've seen happening recently.

You handled this project with the same versatility and meticulous attention I’ve come to respect over the years from you and its great knowing you and many others here are laying down the foundation for future clone builds yet to come. :cheers

Agreed, that's awsome! :D I love that pauldron! :drool

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys! I've been working on this bad boya long time and am very proud of it.;)
Andy good to hear from you man! Havn't talked to you in quite a while dude. Hope all is well.

I will echo what the others have said, that is a fine piece of work.

The pictures all look sharp, but the one with arms folded is quite impressive. It is not only an intimidating pose, but not easy to do in clone armor.

One of the Best ARC's I've seen to date Jon.

nice work !

Very nice.
Just Photoshop out the rouge loose strap.:thumbsup

Very, very pro. Nice DC-15 Did you build it yourself?

Thanks Guys! I'm glad you dig it as much as I do.

C6, thanks dude. Thats my favorite pose from this photo shoot!:)

Yeah, I left all the images Raw. The only thing we did was put a Blue Gell over
one of the Flash housings to get the blue-ish background on the Black backdrop.
That strap needed some attention!LOL I have a version with it photoshopped out,
but there is nothing like showing the raw images!

MY DC-15 is a Sci-Fire "2nd"! I found nothing wrong with it at all!:)

Right on! Looks hot! Good job bud!

Is that a rubber belt? What kind of paint did you use for it?

:supriseWOW!!:suprise:thumbsup:thumbsup

:suprise:suprise:suprise Really GREAT rig overall!!! Clone armor is a difficult build, and you wear it very well. I agree with the arms folded pose. Not only is it intimidating as heck, but really difficult to do in a clone. Beautiful shots!Nice job with the paint and weathering :thumbsup! Just overall outstanding! :cheers

Looks great, really great!

That looks fantastic. Right off the assembly line!

Have to say that really does look fantastic! Well done!

That is a mean looking set man. Nice work!

wow nelly

NICE!!!!!

absolutly amazing great job.

Very nice! :thumbsup:)

Blows me away that you can actually cross your arms. Definately would not want to run into you at 2:00am in a dark alley. Totally sinister.

Im really diggin the blue more and more ner vod.

SHOW OFF!

Looks freakin fantastic Jon! beautiful work! be proud!

more exclamation points!!!!!!! LOL

I gotta join in the applause - that is seriously good and I wanna do one now. Can you tell me where you got the pauldron from, or did you make it yourself?

WOW, this makes me seriously want to put an ARC on my list of 'costumes to do before I die'. It's a long list, but always looking for something to move to the top of the list.

VERY well done!

Fantastic suit and pictures! I love the blue ARC!

Wow, thanks guys! This sounds really wierd but this costume made me wish I could've kept my ROTJ Fett. I usually spend alot of time researching and making sure things are as close as possible with each suit I do, but with this clone and my old Fett I went beyond my normal nerdiness!LOL:)

Thanks Mrmandalore! You can get this pauldron over on the CT.net from a guy that goes by the name General Fidelis!;) Awesome product and another great aritsan!;)

Nice work on the armour, was wondering if you would be able to give me some help in getting some armour for myself. Im 5'11 and am new to this. i want to get an ARC trooper same as yours but with green instead of blue if i can, it's not an issue just a preferance. i can modify and paint but i don't have the ability to make it all from scratch.

Main questions,
1, can this be bought in full, if so where and how much?
2, i am weary of the quality, i ordered one from star fortress and it had cracks in it{lucky i had insurance and they returned all except the shipping}
3, is it able to be given the ok through the 501? i know some don't get the ok.
4, what details of my size are needed and to who do they go?
5, have i missed anything?

Could you help me out with this?

Cheers,
Fez

I recommend you get over to the clonetroopers.net forum , and look around there , with a SF armor you'll have trouble getting approved in the 501st.

freaken legendary!!!!

Incredible work! Just amazing, great job bro!

I think I want to make an arc now instead of an RC...

nice costume :)

Dude that is amazing.
