    Thanks to both of you guys!
    I wrote a dm to @lorddavids asking him some tips.

    @T-Jay the ANH version is the one i'd like to build one day :) I'm 6' 1'' tall and 187 lbs.

    @swibowoj Yes, i'm on low budget about the stormtrooper costume. I'm saving, but i don't have a lot of earnings since i don't actually work and i'm studying full time.
    Thanks again for the tips! :)

    I've just sent a pm!

    Hi Luca, 

    About low budget, are you talking about Stormtrooper costume? 

    If its Stormtrooper maybe you can do the research here first: 

    How much does a suit of TK armor cost?  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28304-how-much-can-i-realistically-expect-to-pay-to-finish-my-stormtrooper-costume/

     

    I don't know about installment payment, but you can do the research and make a plan whatever you comfort and fit in your budget. 

    The main parts and most costly will be hard parts, the armor, You can check and contact the maker, Where do I buy armor?  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/

     

    Or you can start planning buy the softparts first.

     

    Also you can contact Italica Garrison member for more information, there is an Attache in Italy, Davide @lorddavids

    Thanks Wibowo

  7. Need help for UNREPAIRABLE Cracks

    You could rough up the back with sandpaper and apply fibreglass mat and resin, would give it some strength, I've used this on a set of clone armor I purchased which was trimmed too far and needed return edges putting back on. You just have to be careful not to use too much hardener in the resin as it can get hot while curing.

     

    Also for the belt?

  8. Need help for UNREPAIRABLE Cracks

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Hi folks,

     

    I need to repair some cracks on my 3 year old TK armor, but they seem to be unrepairable because everytime reparations get broken. These cracks are in friction areas but also visible. I've followed some tips found here:

     

    • CA glue
    • ABS paste
    • scrap ABS strips glued with CA glue or ABS paste

     

    but they seem not to work. Can you help me before they get bigger?

     

    Thank you in advance

     

    I've attached the main ones

     

    belt:

    chest plate:

    as you can see I put an ABS lump behind the chestplate as last solution, after tried with CA glue and scrap ABS strips, but has been vain..

  9. Shocktrooper strapping and overlap measures question

    in ROTJ Stormtrooper

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    I need some information about Shocktrooper:

     

    1.  Strapping system: I know the original ROTJ system based on velcro, but is it acceptable to instal an ANH system with snaps without using velcro and being eligible for level 2/3?
    2.  Overlap measures: I'm more accustomed to ANH cover strip measures; for ROTJ/Shocktrooper overlap width is the same as for ANH cover strip? I mean that biceps and forearm overlap is 15mm, thighs and front shins overlap is 20mm while behind is 25 mm
    3.  Idea for attaching the thigh ammo pack without visible rivets? Maybe glueing with E6000?
    4.  PLASTI DIP® is okay for coating?

     

    Thanks in advance :salute:

  17. Rogue One Stormtrooper CRL

    in Rogue One

    Posted

    Also of note is that according to this snippet in the new book 'STAR WARS Rogue One: The Complete Visual Guide'--

     

    "On Jehda, troopers wearing variant armor are known as sandtroopers. Filtration systems prevent dust contamination that would clog standard armor breathing ports over time. The cooling units employed on hot desert worlds are not needed on the cold moon."

     

    Does that mean those variants will belong to MEPD? Have these written materials been reference for decisions like this in the past?

     

    31677890816_e604e29802_z.jpg

    So every single stormtrooper on Jedha is a sandtrooper? Due to the same armor, what element can be used to distinguish tk from td?

    I'm quite confused...
