Hey there, fellow Troopers! Last week I finally started my ANH Stunt build – and wow, what a ride already! Current mission status: I’m assembling a pre-loved MFX kit with freshly redone strapping right now. The helmet is an RS Stunt kit (mission accomplished ✅). I’ve quickly learned that there’s a lot more to this than just “snap it together, but my awesome Trooper mates keep me motivated to get this armor up to approvable standards. One step closer to joining the ranks of shiny white! 💪✨ This is a very early preview, all parts are holding together with tape: There are also some parts missiing on the pic, but I have them allready on my working desk. Please don't be too hard on me yet.

Thanks, Glenn. I forgot to ask if you think a near-completed helmet adds any value? Also, my main reason for selling is that I've put on weight, and more than I had expected, and not really into looking like a pudgy storm trooper. So, I'm working with my next door neighbor who is seamstress and will be coming up with an "older" Ben Kenobi set up. Should be cool. I'll send you some photos once I'm done. I'll carry a light saber but for those really aggressive negotiations, I'll have my mandolin in my robes. I've come up with a Star Wars version of the Dead's "friend of the devil", I call it "friend of the Jedi".

Yes, this is a good idea. Time for Mr. Dremel (carefully) Thank you!

You may also want to sand any rough edges were the boot is touch or it will wear through the leather. Lifting the shins up a little may solve the tightness there.

I've been quite busy with work alongside doing this mortar and starting my next costume, so that's why I haven't updated this as I went like I prefer to, but I will go over how I've gotten to this finished version of my mortar I went and made files for the feet of the bipod, though I didn't finish my "tube" print for the bipod, as I quickly realized that the screen used bipod is a lot longer than mine. The bipod used in the show is an extendable one, so is mine, but mine needs to be fully extended to be the length used in the show. If you look at references you'll notice that only the bottom part of the bipod is extended and that the upper part is collapsed. Adding the tubes onto my bipod would look extremely odd with how close it would be to the feet of it. This along with the iron sights being too big, and missing a couple greebles above the iron sights is enough for me to want to come back to this eventually with a version 2, and possibly modify this version 1 to launch stuff (obviously not for conventions and that, just for my own amusement lol). The bipod was also just attached using plenty of CA glue, I could've likely screwed it on or tried using a proper bipod holder, but I didn't think the holder looked very accurate on it, and I couldn't find exactly how it was originally attached for the show, so I just went off the placement seen in references. I will be sharing this bipod end file, as well as the file in my first post in a day or two. To attach it I used the small metal pin found on the bipod. Once you remove the original rubber ends, this pin gets exposed and it's used to hold the spring inside the metal tube, but it's also convenient enough to stick out and slide into my printed bipod ends. I also wanted to note that if you compare the 3 yellow dotted detail on my mortar to the Hot Toys references (these are also the references used for the CRL), mine is placed differently, I used this reference image below of the actual mortar for my placement of it Oh and as a fun little detail that I don't have pictures of yet, the cylinder piece on the side of the mortar matches the handle on the side of the munitions pack and can be attached to the pack. Though I haven't tried wearing it myself like this just yet because my munitions pack is already heavy enough as it is and I don't need to be adding another 5-10 pounds to it lol

Sure thing! Also added to https://photos.app.goo.gl/6RvoDEakAYWhRp3U6
