Those boots are among the most expensive ways to do it, but they'll work. Decent boots, I just think it's highway robbery what they charge for them, compared to their regular jack boots.
Good pants. But check your local base members to see which pants are most popular. Propper makes nearly the same pants (at about the same price), but the two grays are a little different. Both are approvable, but it looks best when most local RFTs actually match, so see which is more popular locally, and go with that one.
That helmet should be fine.
Phil's shirt and vest are great.
Check DarmansProps on Etsy for belt and holster.
Check Philo's Props on Etsy for the belt boxes. I believe he also does the belt and holsters now, but I haven't seen them in person. Bobby (Darman) has been supplying the 501st and RL quality leather goods for years.
DH17 depends on how much you want to pay, and luck. If you can find the Nerf SH17 "rebel blaster" on Etsy, it's a fantastic option and a very easy conversion... mostly cut off the pull and the dart holder, and then spray paint it black and silver. (note that two I see on eBay right now claim good condition yet both are missing the clear cap that should be at the tip of the scope) Otherwise Darth Hair makes a very nice rubber one (great for trooping), although the cost is considerably higher. And Field Marshall just released a stunning all metal kit, for an equally stunning price. _________________

Hello! I'm working on my fleet trooper costume also!
I was able to find one of the nerf DH17s on ebay for about $45 after shipping. Think I searched "nerf dh17" or popssibly "nerf blaster". There were a couple available when I bought mine a couple weeks ago.
If you have access to a 3d printer, there's a couple different versions of it for free on the thingiverse. I had originally planned to print mine, but our 3D printer is being difficult lately and I don't feel like fighting it right now.
One of the available printer files: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2006422/files |

Completely agree on the books Chuck posted. Ive worn them for years with most of my costumes. Just cut the lower strap off. _________________ Once I was Dewka, but now I'm just G'nott sH'urr
