I'm new to TDH and need some help

Well as i said im new to this forum and i need help with some navigating.Im a 405th member and i have an ODST suit WIP.I dont know what the people here use to build their armor but im familiar with pepakura,cardboard,and stuff like that.If anyone could point me in the right direction to get started or if there are any stickies i should read please either PM me with a link or reply here.Um i think thats it so thanks and bye for now.

Depends on what you want to make Boba, Clone, Jango, Custom Mando?

If its a boba or custom mando you should start with the WOF templates for the helmet. That'll get you started

go to the template section gets wizards templates and two 13 gallon trash cans from wal-mart.

i see that there are a lot of casted pieces around here,so do people usually buy kits to make their armor or what.Im thinking of making a my armor the same as Jangos but with my own color scheme,and if i plan on making my own armor whats the best,cheapest,way to do it.I dont have access to buying online,but i have experience with armor making as i said before.
thanks again
