Hello everyone! I'm a new trooper and new to cosplay/building costumes. I'm looking for information on how to build my Imperial Snowtrooper costume and where to find parts and pieces.
A little about me, I'm 26 originally from Michigan and moved to Indiana about two years ago for work. Any help or suggestions would be apprecaited! Thanks everyone!

Hello Dan, welcome and good luck on your journey.
I guess you need to decide which type of snow trooper/scout you old like to build, then resource your components. Depending on what type material you want, ABS/HIPS will point you to the vendors. ABS is nice, no painting needed other than weathering, but HIPS is a bit less expensive and easily available...but.... Does require painting.
Look at RS Propmasters for ABS, they can move pretty quickly on the TS.
Hottoysmax on here can get the HIPS pretty quick I believe .
Mon-Cal can do ABS but you will wait about 12 months.
I'm sure there are other vendors, these are just the first ones that came to mind.
I think TrooperMaster on here is close to being able to produce the TS.
Good luck , have fun....
