  3. Echo's ANH Stunt Build [RS]

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by Echo

    Officially starting this thread for my build. Its my first venture into costuming and the mixture of excitement and sheer terror has fully set in. (A feeling I'm sure most have had at first). I want the process of crafting the armor to be big part of the experience so I plan to document every part I can.

     

    The forms and designs of the Star Wars Universe have always fascinated me. While making my Trooper armor, I thought it would be good to study each component through photographs in order to become aware of the nuances of its design. I chose to get my kit from RS Propmasters due to the accuracy to the films. RS does an ok job of letting newcomers know what are comprised in their kits, but to be honest I wasn't exactly sure what I was all getting until I opened the box. I figured including some of my study into this thread would be interesting to others like me who aren't familiar with the actual raw pieces that come in a kit. There are a lot of how-to's, in-progress and final photo's but not many photo's of the kits themselves. I also think these objects are beautiful in their own right.

     

    So, I'm photographing each piece from multiple angles and essentially cataloging my kit. Don't worry I won't put every image on this thread, but enough to show my progress. I'll set up a photobucket album with all shots for those interested.

     

    Basic Information on the Armor:

    RS Propmasters

    PVC kit

    Fully Loaded Strapping Pack (Includes Helmet Pack, Strapping Pack, Replica Belt and Latex Guards with Gloves)

     

    Here are initial photo's:

    Hopefully not too annoying with all of the images. I'm just excited about the kit. I'll be editing my post as the build progresses. Thanks for your patience.

    I came home to the pleasant surprise of a Special Delivery!. My helmet and armor kit from RS Propmasters came today. It was very nice of them to send it with such care and accompanied by armed guards ; )

    Ok maybe that's how I saw it in my mind when it was delivered. Here it is in my work area.

    I look forward to savoring every aspect of my build and ultimately getting the opportunity to troop in the community.

  13. What Does Your TK ID Represent

    in Off Topic

    I really like the rotational symmetry of your number Si. I noticed it right off. Funny the Bill and Ted's reference I thought of that too when I saw it. I have a number in mind and will be sad if its taken by the time I finish my build. It's a silly thing to be worried about, I know, but I can't help it heh.
