Been a Stormtrooper Commander for awhile now and it's time to start my new build. Love the look of the GM and again they are so unique to other clones that I had to build one. Placed an order for my first GM parts from IOA hoping to start my build soon. Hoping to get to know everyone here on this great forum and get some pointers on my road to becoming a GM. Thank you, Dan TK-3967 Some pics of my TKC.    |

Welcome Dan!.
Yeah man, your TK looks wonderful!. I really love TKs, even in all their variations.
Good luck with your build. Let us know what you need. We all have different approaches to our GM costumes (there are casters, builders, assemblers, scratch builders) so you'll probably find the answers you need.
Welcome again and enjoy the 53rd!.

Not familiar with all the greeblies I may need, all the ammo pouches, buckles that are all required.. If I'm correct you also need standard clone armor parts for the build. What parts would I need, and is it possible just to get those parts separately?
Dan

Not sure if you want to continue this subject in this thread or prefer to open a new one more specific.
Anyway, yes, there are some parts common to other clones. The arms from the bicep down are the same as all the clones (biceps, elbows, forearms and hand armor). They are the same, except for the color, of course. The shin armor, knee armor and boots are the same as the Kashyyyk trooper, again, except for the colors.
Regarding the pouches, if you refer to those ones in the belt, they are exclusive for the GM. They are supposed to be canvas/fabric pouches, or at least soft pouches. The ones hanging from the backpack too. The other ammo boxes/clips (the ones on the chest plate and the bicep) we have been discussing that a few days ago, but they are probably the same as the other clones that have ammo boxes in their chests and biceps, since they all use the same weapon. I point this because there are better references of this in other clones than for the GM. Actually the difficulty of the GM build lays in part on that: the lack of good references. This guys are only a few seconds on the screen, in a snowy and ashy environment, and the still images available are no better neither, so this make it very difficult to get good references for the build.
Regarding the greeblies, they are specific to the GM too. Two similar pieces for the belt buckle, probably metal. The three greeblies in the chest plate: the disc, the oval, and the other one above of them. Then there are the knee armor greeblies and the shin armor greeblies.
I believe you can get all this parts from the suppliers. RKD is building the backpack pouches right now. I think Fettgear makes his in canvas but I'm not sure if he is marketing them now. I'm not sure if SteelBlitz has the backpack pouches, I believe he does since he provides backpacks. He also provides the belt, greeblies, and belt pouches too. And I'm not sure if I'm forgetting someone who provides this things too. I apologize to them for that.

I forgot that the left shoulder (shoulders are asymmetrical in the GM) is similar (if not the same) to the Kashyyyk Trooper too.
