A huge thanks to gmrhodes13 for this amazing tip.

That's right. Keep it long, but Chicago screw it low.

Nic! Thanks man. Thanks for extra tip. But I'm also thinking I might even go lower on the 4 inch straps that connect to the belt since I'm short as in height. So I probably go 3 or lower.

Nice! Thanks Vern!

I think he only had minor tweaks, not something huge. Probably a typo or placement of a number. I'll be making my holster this weekend, I just wanna make sure I dont miss anything. Thanks Tray!

I believe at one point Troopermaster was going to post one. Not sure if he did or not.

I've look and look, but found older templates. Can someone direct me to the newest version? Thanks in advance. Seeker

Our team has been trying to get started on this costume for a couple years now. Slowly going. But I would definitely want one or two.

Ahh thank you.

The rest of the canister pics can be found on my flckr trooper page.

Phew! Thanks Locitus!

Got a chance to build my canister today. My Quixotic5894 clips showed up during the weekend. I'm very happy how they turned out. I went with the real canister look of RS's canister. The end clips were not that close to the end caps. I hope I can still apply for Centurion.

I don't think so. I honestly think that if it wasn't for trooping, we all probably be slightly thicker in some areas. . This hobby makes me stay thin and young or I should say young at heart. I'll be 43 this April and I'm hoping to continue to costume till I'm not able.

Starting for puts around with the helmet.

Thanks guys! Yay! approved by the master.

I was able to find some Chelsea's that were close, but not exact. Hopefully one day I'll find me one those 1095's. The one I have is a Charles Tyrwitt Chelsea boot. It had a couple of minor details I wanted fix. One, the sole was pretty beat up and I added a new sole. I also wanted replicate the look of the studio shot version. It looks like the sole's are a bit thicker looking and also very leather brown looking. It's a little tight on me, but it will do. This will be a sole fix update. I'll do a painting post later. Here's the look I was going for. The studio look - The original sole - The fixed sole. Original boot. Original beat up sole. 1/4 inch Leather hide cut out. Sanded down the sole for better gluing Making sure it matches. Adding glue to both parts then waiting ten minutes for it cure. Then firmly press. I added leather Barge glue sold at Tandy Leather Factory. Then cut out the edges. Tracing a faux line to replicate a real Goodyear Welted Shoe style. Carving out the line. Faux stitches. Before the dark dying. Added some Neatsfoot oil to protect it from cracking and weather conditions. Then I added the final dye on the edges. Final piece

Thanks Minute man. My camera is just and old point and shoot Canon. I'm just very particular on taking photos. I like to light it up correctly. Shoe update today.

Yes ad an interest on gmrhodes13 link. There will be pics soon with updated images of new versions.

While waiting on glues to dry on the boot repair. Here's a Arsenal at one of many stages of weathering. Real demilled Sterling Hyperfirm E-11 Hyperfirm SE-14R

Thanks all! Gonna post some Chelsea leather sole repair tonite.

HI everyone! After trolling for about a year now, and getting reacquainted with these amazing builds here, I finally decided to start my build thread. I'll keep this short. I've been costuming since the middle of the 1990's, I first bought my very fist Stormtrooper costume in 1995 from a Starlog magazine ad from that Marco Co. I was in cloud nine. Then a few years after that, I heard of the 50st and joined. Been there since the beginning. I never did had the chance to actually wear all white stormtrooper, I always wore a Sandtrooper and I'm really excited to finally build an all white one this time. Ala Death Star hallway look. I sold my Santrooper armor to a great guy in Germany and I really miss wearing my trooper gear. Well that time is now. I need to finish my RS Propmaster ANH trooper armor by Januray 17th. I have an event that day that only require Imperials. Here's a little picture history of my trooping through out the years. Marco trooper armor with Don post original vinyl helmet. My very first submission photo to the 501st. Armor was a butcher one with parts from all types of makers. Phantom Menace premiere 1999 2005 a picture before I sold it. You could see the rest of the set this Vintage set at my Flickr Gallery on my signature. I'm also known for this guy. This is the reason I slacked off wearing my Trooper armor. 2013 Now onto my RS trooper build These is where I'm at right now. You could see the rest of this build set at my Flickr Gallery on my signature. Thank you all Seeker .

Looks nice! You have trooper proportions.

lucky bastard. that's beautiful!

I'll buy the set just for the tools. I like that extra pieces that keep the hammering steady.

Thanks great info. Thank you very much. Hope I could find something similar here in the states.
