Hey guys, I fixed a bunch of stuff up and will have pictures soon! I wore the suit to my high school today and presented it with my brother as a project and everyone loved it! It was so much fun to see everyones reactions, everyone wanted pictures, I got lots of compliments, it was a fun experience! I'll share pictures and more on that when I get around to making a thread in the trooping events section. Trooping is fun!

Awesome, thanks for the replies guys! For the thighs, I do have to change the shape a little in the back and insides, and I think I need to slim the down. There is too much extra room in there I feel. I don't actually have any strapping between the forearms, and biceps. I think I will put some in there. As for the biceps piece, I can move those down easily, so thats good. For the frown, I guess I've just never noticed, thanks for pointing that out! I am going to work on these, and I will get some pics of the progress. Thanks for the help, and I am still very open to anymore feedback! As far as the cast, the eBay post said "cast from a screen worn ANH Stormtrooper" If thats true or not, I'm not entirely sure. Either way, for the price, I am extremely impressed. I'm a senior in high school, so sadly I don't have the money for an ideal set of armor right now, but I'm content with this for the most part I'm very interested in knowing what others thought of makerofthings

I wasn't aware, I can help give a full review on him I guess. Okay cool, I'll have to look for some. The classifieds on here are probably the best place to get them I assume? Being HIPS, yes, I painted the whole thing. I think really the only noticeably different color piece is the chest plate. Its weird, I painted all the pieces with the same paint, same primer, but I did do it (I'm a northerner) during this winter in my garage in a makeshift paint booth, so I'm thinking the difference in temperatures on different days when I painted might have messed that up a little. I plan on repainting that chest plate when warm weather comes back though

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here, but I've been using white armor a lot since I bought my armor moulds back in October, and I am finally finished! (Almost) So I bought my armor from eBay (yeah I know, not wise), but the armor is made from HIPS at the same thickness as the original ANH suits, and it was cast off of an original suit the seller said (which I think I believe. I've been very impressed). All of the moulded armor only cost me $305 shipped The eBay seller's name is MakerofThings! I believe. And he is only selling separate pieces right now it looks like, so I got lucky. Anyways, I have finally "finished" but I have a few 'kinks' to get out. So here are my questions if anyone can help - Its not easy to walk, especially up stairs, is this a normal Stormtrooper thing? Or should I be able to walk easier? Leg pieces are too big maybe. - I can't figure out the calves, they just never seem to have a perfect way to put them on, theres always a gap somewhere in the back. Whats the best way to hook them together in the back? And should I just man-up and spend the $120 on real boots? - The thermal detonator..... I can't find a 2.5in dia pipe to same my life. What are you guys using? - Anything else look wrong? Disregard the calves in this photo Yeah the mic tips need to be aligned too I know haha
