    I used this one here and I modified the top section for the Merr Sonn, also I used a brown material at first then found better pictures showing a burgundy colour so I changed to that one. My first holster photo below, will post the new colour one when I get back to the computer.

    Post from 501st legion forum: https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=106862&p=1352596#p1352596
     
    Halloo!
     
    It has been five years since our last drive for donations to pay for Legion hosting costs. 
     
    Over the past five years, we have shifted our servers to the AWS (Amazon Web Services) architecture, utilizing Cloudfront CDN, RDS databasing, Route53 DNS, and AWS Firewall security, as well as regular backups and the storage thereof. We adopted a Google GSuite account to provide a more efficient email solution that also allows us to utilize an API to allow for opt-out, expanded our domain registration account with both Amazon and GoDaddy. And not least, we have taken on six detachments (FISD, IOC, MEPD, BHG, SLD and soon-to-be SP) to be hosted under the Legion account. We push an average of 650G of traffic a month between the main site, Databank, the forums, and the hosted detachment sites.
     
    Our last drive in 2015 raised funds to cover the Legion's hosting bills for the period of February 2015 through August 2020, and it was a drive for only 501st.com.
     
    It is time for us to pass the bucket again - combining the drives for the Legion and six hosted detachments.
     
    Our first goal is just to keep the lights on for one year for 501st.com and the six detachments, no contract, paid month to month. Our second goal would allow us to lock in a contract with some price savings for three years, while our third (stretch) goal would allow us to go beyond that as well as explore other services and/or enfolding more detachments (if they choose) under the AWS account.
     
    Please make sure you are logged into the forums, and then take a moment to visit the donation page, and make a small contribution to help fund the site: https://www.501st.com/donate/
     
    There you will be able to make a donation and see how we are progressing at meeting the goals for this drive. If anyone has any questions - feel free to post here, or to email us at lwm@501st.com.
     
    Thanks You!

    I started on one for fun, but to be honest, I kind of lost interest and put it on the backburner. lol. 
    Most of what I made was from scratch, but I made the helmet using a snowtrooper helmet as the base. 
    Here's a few pics of me wearing my rough-draft of it at DragonCon.
