I’ve been putting some thought into it and poking around other detachments. The only other trooper which caught my eye over the past several years has been the Death trooper. Since I still have the same build as I did twenty years ago, 5”10 150lbs, a lot of the newer suits are build around larger folks and it shows in the chest plate. Ideally if I built an RO or DT it would have to be build around something lineage rather than completely new sculpt. I think this might be possible if I piece together parts from a couple kits. I put together a spread sheet of the cost including hardware, gaskets, boots, gloves and helmet. Price it to around the upper end of my budget but I believe if I put considerable amount of work into my next armor I will be happier with the outcome. Thanks for the advice and thorough responses I appreciate it.

Thanks! Since my first go around was an ANH hero, I’m tempted to try a RO build but I know I would be in for quite a bit more work to get everything fitting and looking correctly. The strapping and garter is very attractive when completed though.

Yes I certainly do, however I have not decided which costume I want to build for approval.

Howdy Folks. I found some photos of myself in high school wearing my MovieFX armor. This had a three peice helmet and was made of HIPS. I saved up three paychecks and sent two money orders to Germany IIRC. That was over twenty years ago and a lot has changed, I no longer have my old armor for one. Recently I found a rotocast of a screen used Move Along helmet in my garage from the same time period, it sparked interest in me to recreate some old props that I miss. Hopefully I can contribute more to the 3D Depositary as in the past two years have successfully self taught CAM/CAD. You can find my ANH Hovi tips and soon I will have some ROTJ tips as well. Have a great day! P.S. I Think I'm going to buy a MovieFX suit again, although I love the TM suit.
