I haven't been taking as many photos because it's all just prime/paint/sand etc, but I've painted the calves, spats, thighs, and shoulders: I'm also fixing the last few imperfections in the chest and back: As well as priming the ab, biceps, and finally the helmet/snout: In non-painting news, I dyed the lens and it worked amazingly! I used one packet of iDye Poly, did the first dunk for 5 mins, then a second dunk for 2 mins. One of the lenses got slightly deformed because the water was a bit too hot, but it's thin enough that it can still be installed in the proper shape. (I'm sending one to @zediyeti because we are fellow tiny-TKs and our helmets are printed at 92% and 93% respectively). My grill has a burner so I was able to do it all outside and not risk getting dye all over our very white kitchen. I used these videos as guidance:

Good luck, trooper!

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos during the process so I'm not sure it'd be a very effective how-to.

STAR WARS: TROS (2019) - Set Dressing Stormtrooper Helmet Propstore https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/508/lot/197721?url=%2Fsearch%3Fkey%3Dstormtrooper%26xclosed%3D0 Estimate £2,000 - 4000 Sold Price £44,100 (26 bids) A set dressing Stormtrooper helmet from J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. When Rey (Daisy Ridley) searched the Death Star ruins for the Sith Wayfinder, original Stormtrooper helmets littered the floor. The original Stormtroopers were part of George Lucas' earliest concepts for Star Wars, which he conveyed to seminal designer Ralph McQuarrie, who memorialised them in a series of concept sketches and production paintings before the famous costumes were produced. The presence of original Stormtrooper helmets in the scene mentioned above is a subtle yet significant nod to the original films that die-hard Star Wars fans would have spotted. This helmet is made by slush casting fibreglass and resin, which involves pouring the liquid form of the material into a mould, then rotating it to form the finished shape. It was designed specifically for set dressing rather than for use by an actor. Dimensions: 30.5 cm x 31 cm x 30 cm (12" x 12.25" x 11.75")

File Name: Stormtrooper Fly Swatter Designer: @addicted2create Last Update: 14/07/2026 File: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3051236-stormtrooper-fly-swatter-star-wars-the-empire?from=search#profileId-3432563 Description: May the accuracy be with you (or not)! The only fly swatter with a built-in excuse! Miss the fly? No worries, the Empire has your back. With the Stormtrooper fly swatter and the ironic handle print "Imperial Precision", every miss becomes a cinematic inside joke. Material: PETG (highly recommended for the necessary flexibility and durability when swatting! PLA breaks too easily). Images:

RS just dropped a cool new video showing his team building TK suits in time lapse. It was so fascinating, I had to slow it down. Ngl, it's been many a year since I built a TK, and these guys just make it look easy. My hat's off to these gentlemen, masters of their craft.

Its a great film and shows the great work that goes into our tremendous armour, proud to wear it and stand together

Thank you to everyone for you help. We have now met our goal.
