Problem is, a lot of the links on the first post are now dead.

I'll have to go back and find new ones. The easiest way is to do a Google search for "black chelsea boot".

Those would work nicely. I wish the toes weren't square, but hell, I'd buy 'em. Nice find.

oh yeah, could anyone tell me if this gun would be acceptable to the 501st? i would take out the bottom magazine, and drill holes through the barrel if it is (it is a cheap airsoft rifle i really like).....Posted Image

I highly doubt that gun would be accepted. Its a G36 right? Too recognisable.

I've taken a minigun on a troop (not 501st one tho, as I'm not 501st qualified yet ... Sadly Kal Skirata won't get the 501st rubber stamp)
But then the minigun is seen in Star wars as the Merr-Sonn z-6 rotary blaster, so it's canon (if you'll excuse the pun)

You may want to take those side ear pieces and gently 'motivate' them into place with a heat gun or some warm water (not boiling). Be careful not to warp them - you just want to mould them into place. Worse comes to worst, you can bondo fill in the gaps, but that would be my last choice.

And the gun you chose would not be 501st accepted. Easiest solution is to get one of those cheap Hasbro E-11s and repaint. Personally, I carry either an E-11 or MG-34. But the chaingun would work nicely (because it was seen in the Clone Wars cartoons).
