Yea that would have been tight. LOL its gona be back and forth on everyones build posts I think there might be someone starting with the arms. Im too scared of starting with the limbs and the least worriesome is the helmet.

That looks pretty sick to me! Wish I had those skills.

Nice! more minds for the AM build.

If you notice the ears, it looks like they are already pre-trimmed and theres a notch at the top of them that seem to fit where the face meets the back of the helmet. I don't want to jinx myself but I think its going to be easier than we think as newbies.

Alright! Congrats.

Hey Ryan, same goes for all of us on the correcting, I think just about everyone getting an AM armor is a newbie. Good luck and share your ideas and findings, we'll all be checking each others threads. I glued the top and back pieces today. I also cut out the teeth and will be posting pics tomorrow. Let me know what you do when you get to screwing the ear area. Sweet! please share your findings and ideas, so we could all be on the same page. Hopefully you could take better pics than I could. Thanks ill try that as soon as the back piece cures. rivets sound mighty dangerous right now lol.

Ok, before I start gluing and screwing stuff, I wanted to ask some questions and to see if the helmet looks correct. everything is currenty held together with tape and magnets. So here's what the helmet looks like in all its nakedness glory my head doesnt seem to fit if I put it on regularly I have to turn it sideways, do I make a bigger opening like I show in this pic? I also noticed this on the side, would it settle in after I add the ears or do I need to trim the bottom somehow? Here is a side view Please note I will also be doing the teeth while I glue the top and back. Thanks for the help.

LMAO

Yea ive read many posts, now I just look at it and wonder where to start (Helmet). Tim and mike, it sounds good helping each other out, along with the help of FISD. Im in the "its to delicate and dont want to break it" stage. Plus we have a good amount of options with all the pieces he sent. Did you guys get a helmet?

Hey Erick, Looks like there's going to be quite a few of us on the same boat. I believe we have v2.0 so it might be a little different from these. Here's a helmet build http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/26301-ne-helmet-build/ and here's some armor builds http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/27514-cant-seem-to-find/ good luck fellow trooper.

So I got my armor , I could tell you the feeling is a mixture of the night before Christmas and Disneyland. The UPS man even teased me a bit by driving bye my house. The armor is pretty thick, I thought it was going to be super flimsy. Here's my armor pix, lots of pieces..... The BOX Helmet and 2 option shoulder pieces Pieces (I love the extras) More stuff \ Sorry so blurry (everything lined up

Hey Sean, Any updates? Me gusta your progress. Also, Ever thought of doing something like this to help fund the project? http://www.gofundme.com/

Alright, Good luck!

Michael's. They usually have coupons every week, you should be able to get them dirt cheap.

How bout in a nursery rhyme? ♫♫Thiiiiighs, shins boots and abs - boots and abs. Thiiiighs, shins boots and abs - boots and ab's! Chest and bells and arms and gloooves! Thiiiiighs, shins boots and ab's - boots and abs ♫♫ Sorry, i'm bored at work.

Anyone know where I can purchase this blaster? The only place I've seen it is Etsy but it's sold out. when I did a Google search, it so happens that the seller also popped up on the rebel legion forums. unfortunately I have tried to register to get in there for a good month or so and still not able to get in to contact her (mabe they know im a soon to be trooper....) Any other places besides ebay and amazon?

Dope!

pics or video? sounds interesting.

Aww man its looking SICK! Are you gona completeley close out the claw holes or are you going to layer them? (one layer) that way your undershirt can be the black background after weathered and blood detail. This is not me BTW lol layer example

Hey Everyone, Just thought id post a good workout that you might like. http://neilarey.com/workouts/stormtrooper-workout.html Enjoy!

WOW, especially the blaster build. One thing I havent seen anyone else do is what you did with the magnets, gona use that idea. thanks for sharing

Yea, it's difficult finding them, It's even harder finding them my size in length. Prices at REI are usually steep but its because you can return anything even after you wear them out (I'm too embarrassed to do that though) Thank you. I tried Walmart, Marshalls and Ross before anywhere else, they're my go to for best prices. At Marshalls I usually find exercise gear for $3 but these are rare in men's department. Thank you.

Hey just wanted to see if these bottoms are good to wear for trooping. Looks like a good deal. http://www.rei.com/product/817411/rei-airflyte-basic-tights-mens#descriptionTab

You should first contact the armor makers and see what the prices are before you go on low budget and Ebay. I had to save for 2 years (I have kids) before finally being able to get mine. Thats 2 years of recycling cans, saving coins, unwanted overtime at work and having to hide it from my wife.... before you know it, you will be waiting for that big brown box as I am right now. Best of luck

Its looking awesome though.
