  1. My profile images is 48.0 KB (49,152 bytes) and 150 x 150 pixels if that helps. Unfortunately our forum only allows a certain amount of attachments due to our vast member base and size, we literarily do not have the space to host so many members images. Many of us use online image hosts, upload your images there then post a link to the images into your posts. Use "direct link" or link with full file extension ie: .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .gif, .png etc etc. Here is one of many free hosts available and How To Many of us were using IMGUR but unfortunately UK members can no longer access those images. Flickr is what I have been using https://www.flickr.com/ If you need help with a signature or other image information hit up @Nairy who is available to help with images

Imperial Stormtroopers wore their uniforms when they brought a large twin-barreled hover cannon to blast through the doors of the Path base in Jabiim in the Season 1 episode "Part V." One of the most anticipated new series of 2022, Obi-Wan Kenobi became the most-watched series premiere on Disney+ in its first weekend. The series was nominated for five Emmy AwardsĀ®, including for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes and Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series This costume was created by a member of the 501st Legion, a fan group dedicated to creating screen-accurate Star Wars villain costumes and whose members also portrayed many of the Stormtroopers in the series. Consisting primarily of white vacuum-formed plastic components, it includes a hand-painted helmet with a green-tinted visor; front and back chest plates; front and back abdominal plates with decorative gray and blue buttons; a pair of vacuum-formed pauldrons with a connected elastic strap; upper-arm, forearm, hand, thigh, and leg armor plates; an off-white belt with vacuum-formed dropboxes and a black holster; a removable thermal detonator; and white leather Chelsea boots. The underlayer of the costume consists of a black ribbed neck polyester dickey; a black long-sleeve polyester shirt; a black polyester/nylon belt with a plastic buckle; black polyester pants; and black gloves with silicone grip texturing. Also included is a resin foam E-11 blaster. The costume comes mounted to a mannequin for display. This costume exhibits scuffing, minor marks on several armor components, and discoloration on the boots, chipped paint on the blaster, white discoloration, adhesive residue, and loose pieces, including the Hengstler counter box. Dimensions: 33" x 18" x 72" (84 cm x 45.75 cm x 183 cm)

  10. 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")

  11. File Name: Star Wars Jedi Training Droid Designer: EssentialCrafter Last Update: 15/07/2026 File: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3055433-star-wars-jedi-training-droid?from=search#profileId-3437672 Description: Here is something a little different a Star Wars training droid from the iconic movie that I incorporated led lights in the inside that are color changing to give it the realistic look and effect, there are 2 profiles one with a larger hole to pass lights through and the other which I did where a passed the lights through one of the laser holes, I used some led light strips from amazon that were battery operated with a remote.

  12. Very nice, came out well, similar to how I've made some eyes and lenses, albeit I've just used a heat gun and brute force
  13. 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:

  14. It's all about the prep work
  15. Excellent, very smart Link added to "The various types of armor and where to find them"
  16. Looks fine to me BUT with every costume your GML is the one who will approve/reject the costume so doesn't hurt to check with them
  17. Looking good, you could damage areas if you wished to, cuts and breaks just adds to the aged look. Adding extra weathering to recesses can also give an aged appearance.
  18. Pretty much trim to your arm, I've got skinny arms so I left quite a lot of plastic there, others take it all off. Get the front of pieces to join flush and trim to suit on the rear, you can also leave some pieces stepped, but I find it more comfortable not to have rough corners to catch on you when moving. No return edge at all Stepped bicep top, angled forearm and coverstrip No return on bicep, I left some so it stays central to my arm For L3 no return at all at the front of the forearm
  19. There are some great videos on blast marks Yes you can have blood but it has to be dried, not liquid Armor may have some stains to emulate aged dry blood. Liquid / permanently wet fake blood is not accurate. Here's my L3 Centurion approved for an example. Check out some other builds and also the gallery sections, no two are the same https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/187-death-trooper-build-threads/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/17-zombie-trooper-reference/
  20. Hello and welcome, nice looking Jeep. This thread is full of helpful information. Looks like you are building Rogue One style, your large ab button plate needs flipping. Lots of great builds full of helpful information, should give you an idea on strapping
  21. Hello and welcome, lots of info and builds for the death trooper here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/187-death-trooper-build-threads/ Also gallery area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/17-zombie-trooper-reference/ I completed a build a few years ago, reached L3 Centurion which you can find here for reference purposes Look forward to seeing your progress, good luck L
