Here's a nice tutorial by OSCS concerning the bucket build. This may help you:

Here is a link to some helpful resources as well concerning clones:

The best advice is to get the little things taken care of first while you save up for your armor. The shoes, undersuit, and gloves are things you can be looking for to acquire and they don't cost you an arm and a leg. They're the pieces you're going to need anyhow to complete your build.

One suggestion I will make. With the OSCS or Clone six with the neck ring, if you didn't buy them, hollow out the aerators and drill a small hole in the helmet before you install them. (Use a paddle bit with your drill) Doing this AND adding fans will make the helmet much cooler!!!!!!!! Trust me on this one!!!!!!!
