Hello and welcome ladies and gentleman!
Since I am preparing to build a Stormtrooper from ROTJ, I believe it is time to revive this part of the FISD
Some general things to mention before I start:
- I am now 18
- I am totally new to building costumes and this means I will require tons of help
That should be all for now. Let's start!
On 2nd February my research has begun and until now I have got nearly all the parts together: Updated 09.11
Armour and helmet:
CFO (qee)
In addition I will buy the strapping pack and the white armour trim, too, from him.
Neckseal and holster:
Darman
Gloves:
Ebay *done*
Boots:
Ebay. They will be painted white.
Under suit:
My parents print T-Shirts so I get the parts from them. *done*
Blaster:
Kai (TI 6815) (Big Thank you, Kai!) *done*
As tools I already have a lot of different blades (exacto knife included) and a (quite shucksty) dremel.
To glue the parts I will use E6000 (I will have to practise with that before I start).
Now to the parts I still need to research:
- I have now plan how to trim my armour, so I will have a look on this.
- The strapping is also a big point which needs to be discovered.
- Reference pictures should not be a real problem.
- And last but not least assembling the armour.
I hope you guys (and ladies) can support me with my tasks and I am looking forward to build this thing!
Greetings,
Felix
