@revlimiter we need to do better No worries, I'll still manage to procrastinate building my new armor. ... you get 10 new memes in one day as an apology for the lack of activity. Sorry, Chris, the addiction is back in full force!

Hi, I'm Vasco, I'm 23 years old and I'm from Portugal. I'd like to make an ANH Hero costume. Where can I buy the armor and accessories in Europe?

Last week I was lucky enough to be in Manchester (UK) to pick up a fresh set of RS armor, then head to Edinburgh to troop with the ISG (Imperial Scottish Garrison). Both were amazing experiences that I shall cherish forever, but wouldn't have happened without the incomparable Ryan Barlow - TD/SL 19809 - from the Imperial North Western Squad (UKG), to whom I'm eternally grateful. RS Visit While there, I was introduced to another Paul, who appeared in A New Home as a stormtrooper and has been spotted on film. In his hand is an original screen used helmet. If you ever get a chance to meet him, please do. Humble, friendly, and overall great fellow. Meeting Rob of RS is always a highlight. Also pictured are Ryan & Rob (Catfood) & Rob (RS)

Nice work! I am always fascinated to see these printed costumes take shape.

Hi Vasco, welcome aboard!!

Hi Vasco, welcome to FISD!

Olá, Vasco! Bem-vindo ao FISD. Saudações da Espanha!

Hello and welcome Vasco

Hi Vasco, welcome to the FISD

Welcome Vasco, great to have you! The link that @Morgi posted is a very good source! I went with RS prop masters for my Hero, but there are many other options as you'll see!

Hello Vasco and welcome to the forum! For the armor vendors, the following thread might be of interest to you:

Good luck Angie! Looking sharp!

Gotta laugh

Good luck, Trooper!

Always great to see a Centurion app, and an ANH-Hero at that! Looking good, trooper!

I had no idea there was an entire thread dedicated to memes, and unfortunately for my wife’s sake (who is not nearly as invested in Star Wars as I am), I’ve been laughing hysterically since you shared it. I do wish Jason was still more active on the forums—I’d love to pick his brain about some of the 3D printed nuances, especially around rigging and long-term durability. I completely understand now why he’s cautioned people against going this route. It’s far more involved than I initially thought—and honestly, more humbling. That said, there’s definitely a strange sense of accomplishment with each successful print… usually followed by a brief moment of existential dread when the next one fails. I wouldn’t say I can see the finish line yet, but I know it’s somewhere within reach. Keep 'em coming! I was scrolling at the red lights during my work commute this morning, and this one hit a bit close to home: Thanks @gmrhodes13 for the laugh, this meme is honestly the most accurate representation of my entire build thread so far.

Jason was in my Garrison, I still chat with him on FB now and again. Unfortunately for all of us, he requested to be retired last year and is no longer an active Legion member.
