Every troop

Welcome to FISD, Victor! You have found the right place for information and help to start building your own Stormtrooper armour. Have you thought about the type of Stormtrooper you'd like to build? There is many variations.

Hello and welcome aboard, some information for you to get you started

I’m new to this world. I want to build my own stormtrooper armor but I don’t know where to start

Only difference I find between painted and non painted is the after care, I have soft pouches for all my armor so they don't get chipped or scratched in transport. The occasional crack can happen with painted and non painted but sometimes the painted can chip which is a little harder to fix. There is also some of the details which need work, forearms, yoke to back and abdomen, all need either filling with automotive filler then painted or filled with ABS paste sanded and compound polish. All the first runs of the ANOVOS FOTK's where painted as they also needed joining in quite a few places. Some have built their DN suits with ABS paste and I've seen a few fully painted, there are really pros and cons for both so it's entirely up to each individual how they want to build and finish.

Hey guys! Quick question. DN just started their May 4 sale, which is 10% off, plus free shipping. Im also able to apply my other 10% off code from the email list, giving me 20% off, which is crazy, so I think I'm pulling the trigger tonight. From what I can tell, the standard ABS they provide is plenty glossy, especially with a proper polish. I have seen, however, some really wonderful glossy automotive finishes, and am wondering what you all would recommend? I am fairly experienced when it comes to using automotive paints. I have a HVLP setup, and have been painting Mando armor for a number of years now. What I'm really wondering however is if it is worth the time and energy needed to paint it, or if the standard ABS is fine? Really, which is more screen accurate? Any guidance is appreciated!

I’ve been putting some thought into it and poking around other detachments. The only other trooper which caught my eye over the past several years has been the Death trooper. Since I still have the same build as I did twenty years ago, 5”10 150lbs, a lot of the newer suits are build around larger folks and it shows in the chest plate. Ideally if I built an RO or DT it would have to be build around something lineage rather than completely new sculpt. I think this might be possible if I piece together parts from a couple kits. I put together a spread sheet of the cost including hardware, gaskets, boots, gloves and helmet. Price it to around the upper end of my budget but I believe if I put considerable amount of work into my next armor I will be happier with the outcome. Thanks for the advice and thorough responses I appreciate it.

Handy thing that with the nylon plates, and yeah that one was a little rounder than I would've liked, so I'll be sure to mark them out for later ones. Speaking of cover strips are the strips for the legs thicker or are they the same width as the arm strips?
