Ah where does the time go? So here it is almost Halloween 2023 and my AM kit is still sitting in storage waiting for assembly. While I found building Vader straight forward, I couldn't get my head wrapped around all the concepts and parts without getting overwhelmed. Even working to overcome that by focusing just on one part at time, I was/am hesitant to cut into the ABS and make an unrecoverable mistake. So after several valiant attempts to get moving, it has been packed back up for quite a while. Fast foward to now, with a new 3D printer that has a build volume of 420 x 420 x 500mm (16.5 x 16.5 x 19.7 inches) I used the referenced files to print my 2023 Halloween costume! It has been great to be able to hold 'completed' sections of the armor and understand how it is constructed versus holding the 2 halves of the AM kit together and trying to imagine what it would look like. I will update this thread with some of the final prep work with the suit getting ready for Halloween and trick or treat night of course, but here is a black series helmet with the printed armor. I have been working on the velcro strapping and getting the sniper knee and thigh ammo pack e6000'd in time. I know the strapping is not up to the trooping level of snaps or original equipment, but this is all for one evening of fun so I am alright with it.

This has come highly recommended https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FCy55sf3r1f3%2F%3Figshid%3DMzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D%26fbclid%3DIwAR26GaE0RZdebPHI05yC0fntTWBZ6PjfqyiJ19YgZ8ifVcpZ3j1zImBIsR8&h=AT03gKYamd-tYfOUpDJ-FkfbXXLzxDL8jyf7F63gWhpy-n5AeNH-pCPVk00JUIC8y4o0CFJ91uKnRczem4JXNb-_62VIN_M2ZDRgI2zaWCS1LPzf0SR22GOfMkTrltlXWo-j-Q

I can contribute to this one. Notice on mine there is both the padding and the "V" clips to straighten it all out. Not hard to do and I was terrified to do any mods to the armor but I'm happy I did as it fits much better. Bart

It's really a personal choice, ANH Stunt is the more seen version being the first Stormtroopers in Star Wars but some like the dark teeth look of the ESB. With only a few items changed you can actually do both versions if you wish and even a Hero version of the ANH.
