Congratulations trooper

Yes

There’s lots of build threads of others that had filled theirs . For me I used JB weld to join both sections on the side, does take 24 hrs to completely dry but it is solid, allows for some flex and is sandable. If you have any gaps or air holes you could then fill with Bondi or even ABS paste, there are so many options, just have a look through some builds. TD is there to cover the back join so you’ll have to seperate that somehow, hopefully it’s not too hard. Coming along nicely, keep it up.

Congratulations trooper

When ever in doubt about a costumes detachment you can find a detailed list here also by detachment here

Looking forward to seeing those BBB photos

As long as it meets centurion requirements, looks like screen used blasters and you spend some time getting rid of printing lines then there shouldn’t be an issue.

Mate stay off eBay, head to the getting started section, lots of info there on vetted sellers.

Helps when you have long arms and legs, although it's not ideal for the ideal Stormtrooper I do have a little more gap on my elbows and knees than most so I can bend a little more, so for me it's easy to get kitted up without help, people always look and say "how the hell do you do that". It also helps the way you unpack, I make sure helmet gloves, arms, blaster are up a bit higher, once that body section is on it is a little hard to bend down for those extra bits. I do find if I drop a glove I can still pick it up, I just have to do a half splits, it doesn't look pretty but it works . Sitting in a car I just wouldn't attempt, I'd never get out again, bet this trooper is still in there

Yes as have I, but Dave mentioned he may try painting if he could find templates. Many of us have trooperbay decals, was the only place for Dave M’s at one stage

I can sit on the edge of a bench/table or arm of a chair, being taller I just can’t fully sit in a chair. I have seen a few others sit in cars I can only imagine it would have been difficult to get in and out. If there is no change area we do car park changes, try to park away from others in secluded areas, it only takes 5 minutes to kit up these days so your not exposed for long, note it pays to turn up wearing your under suit

Just note that the angle \\\\\ of the stripes shouldn't hold you up for basic approval, it's just the ideal look, I wouldn't pick it. You should be able to get your stickers off again, I have managed too in the past, I first apply some painters tape over the middle of the tube stripes, then with a sharp blade I ease from each edge of the stripes and slowly pull away, with patience they will peel off and then you can reapply. If you do decided to paint a good tip is to apply a base coat of white, this is in case you have any bleed through in the corners of the masking tape, the white will bleed and fill any gaps then you can go over with blue, I believe trooperbay sells masking templates.

The front of the stripes are angled , if you look from the sides you have yours like this (back) \\\\\ (front) and they should ideally be like this (back) ///// (front) You can see in the images below:

I feel your pain, we all go through it, every time you hear a vehicle your heart skips a beat in anticipation it is a mail delivery, then only to find it was a vehicle going to next door Hang in there it can't be too far away

Congratulation again trooper

Or just right click on the image in Imgur, select copy, then paste directly into your post

If they weren’t seen in the movies with them then they are not canon to that version of armor.

Stick to the vetted sellers list, there’s a reason it’s there You can find it in the Getting Started section
