I finally broke out my AM armor that I bought in Nov of 2011! After watching "theissaac" muscle through his build. No pun intended. I decided I can do this and what better time than May 4th 2012!
So I put all my research to the test and started cutting and grinding and taking pictures!
My main source for this build was of course "pandatrooper" build thread. I also studied "troopermaster" builds, some not posted by him but by troopers who had him build their armor and were kind enough to take pictures of his work. I also really enjoyed watching Dave's Garage Builds videos on Youtube or "glastondebury" is his YouTube channel name. Really good stuff! Then there are bits and pieces from everyone here at FISD! I never stop learning!
My Armor came from Mighty Tank from the StarGarrison, he was a great seller and the armor came super quick and packaged really well. Thanks to TK6294 for helping me make that connection!
So why AM armor you might ask, well I got into this wanting two sets of armor a TK and a TD. So the AM is what I am going to cut my teeth on and then I hope to get a full set of TM armor once I feel more confident. I was also concerned with sizing, since I am a taller trooper. I'm leaning towards the AM being my TD and the TM being my TK but the jury is still out. That indecision may be reflected in my build.
I'm 6'2" 195lbs skinny build, basically if I have fat its all in the middle!
Ok enough chit chat, Lets build a Stormtrooper!
