Martin,^^^ this guy knows his stuff ^^^ so rest assured regardless of the home of the Shadow trooper, you are in good hands.

I carry much the same but I do carry several tubes of CA glue, because "Troopers helping Troopers" You just never know when a fellow member is going to need help due to a minor breakage. I also carry a few pieces of 1mm thick ABS in varying sizes 1" - 4" long and about 1/2" wide to use as backing support for any bad cracking or breaks that can occur on hopefully a rare occasion.

Welcome Jayke, and wow what a gift for a Birthday! You have some very exciting times ahead of you sir, and there will be plenty of advice and helpful tips come your way. Don't forget to create a build thread and share photos of your progress with us all. Welcome aboard.

Congratulations Andrew

I concur. RS Prop helmets are the warts and all version, considering the originals were painted you should be able to see the lumps bumps and paint runs in the pull.

Thanks for the images guys, I’m kinda getting excited with less than a month to go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not the only thing Jet troopers jump off, Sith Jet Troopers that is [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with Glen on this, you will find plenty of knowledgeable and very helpful members here with great advice. We are all about sharing information to help make your Stormtrooper dreams a reality.

One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of reference materials for this costume so it should be easier than say a game, animated or EU character.

Excellent news, there are many here with fantastic build skills and knowledge all ready to help. It’s all about Troopers helping Troopers here at FISD, look forward to seeing your first images and following your build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I get what you are saying here [emoji4] I know this is the animated series but more surprises are a foot with variants in the upcoming TroS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm still thinking on the Hard armour and the Amour & prop making. I feel it should be two separate threads one for armour the other for as it says, "Props" the two aren't necessarily the same.

Nice work Robert.

I concur

Agreed, this brush also makes painting your Vocoder so much easier. Correct colours in Humbrol are Blue Gloss14 Grey Gloss 5 Black Satin 85

Sounds reasonable to merge them.

Some dress to the left, others to the right lol it’s a great photo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
