Ironclad Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I am buying a sandtrooper costume (Unfortunately I don't have enough time or experience to build one myself). I searched for a long time to find one that had a history of 501st accepted costumes and I found a website called RS propmakers. I am planning on purchasing the costume from here https://www.rspropmasters.com/store/sandtrooper/sandtrooper-suits/sandtrooper-fully-finished-commission/ I would like to know if this costume is up to SWAT standards or at least police officer or just standard membership. Also if I would like to know if I need to modify it at all too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthStevius Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hi Adam, RS Props are a very reliable group to get a commissioned costume from. Many of us on here have (including myself). However, regardless where you buy, there is no guarantee it is approvable out of the box. Approval is all about how a costume fits your specific body shape. The RS kit will be pretty close, if not spot on for you. But there's no guarantee. Their Sandy comes with a very light weathering, so should be good enough for standard approval, but likely to need some additional weathering for Police Officer (which there are plenty of tips and trick available on this site). For SWAT, you will definitely need to do more weathering as you need to be screen accurate to a specific character (of your choice). The other piece from RS you are likely to need to alter will be the blue milk containers on the back-pack. Again, there is more detail on this site, but their shade of blue isn't quite right for Police Officer status. All that said, I personally can highly recommend their kit and customer service. If you go ahead with them, start a build thread on here, get some photo's up of yourself in the kit, and we can give you some guidance on what, if anything, may need changing for approval. Good Luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I have moved the topic over here as the SWAT section is reserved for applications. Should you really decide to go for SWAT, you are welcome to start a new topic in the SWAT-Hurtlocker section and ask question there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
