Hi Troopers,
I want to create a stormtrooper display that looks like it stepped right out of a Star Wars movie (ANH).
Since I joined the whitearmor.net forum I've been reading build topics and browsing trooper galleries.
I think I might have seen & read _too_ much. Here is my problem:
I've checked many types of armor. They all look great and should be awesome on a display. But after reading the forum I figured I will always look at the display's details and think: that isn't right, this isn't accurate & that could be nicer.. etc.
How in the Emperor's name am I going to make the right choice in armor now!? I'm afraid I'll never be completely satisfied because all of the (extremely awesome) details you guys make, see & discuss
What I want for the display:
- ANH Stormtrooper,
- Stunt-helmet
- Standard/regular (movie) sized
- ABS material (so I don't have to paint, I've got no room for that )
- No weathering (or maybe a little 'usage')
There is no real answer to my next question, and it must have passed this forum like a thousand times before (I know and I'm sorry to ask you guys), but I really need expert help to give me that "I'm sure this is the armor for me"-feeling. Otherwise I'll be spending money on something that will, basically, irritate me for the rest of my life
What armor + helmet would look (all-round) best on a display?
Of all the armors I've checked I think AP, AM and TM armor are what I need. But I've some concerns:
1. I'm afraid that the helmet looks over sized.
2. Doesn't 'screen-accurate' make the display look *crooked*?
What do you guys think? Am I reading too much into the details for *just a display*? Should I just pick one a go from there?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Lennaert
