Note: I don't know if it is possible to shrink photos in this forum software, but it could help if we could make them 100x100px or something link that. Otherwise, feel free to remove images, as this will get too huge with them.
I think it would be a good thing to have a list of useful parts, tools, add-ons, and other accessories that would help folks with their costume builds.
It is important that we list things that we have personally used and can vouch for, or we need to give disclaimers if we have not personally purchased the items.
This list can grow as we add ideas, links and vendors.
And as always, buyer-beware, and the 501st does not endorse vendors and all of that... but let's share what works for us so we can help others in their builds.
