Got one side a little lopsided, Ugg!

So here is my bucket, got the top glued on now lining up the mask, one thing I learned from other posts, "Never trust the dimples!".

What's the best way to get photos on this thread, I thought I was something on it, but I didn't bookmark it now I can't find it

Looking good! I'm going to use you magnet hankies, great idea. Also seeing your drilling on the helmet will help me once I start that on my AM 2.0 this weekend! Thanks for posting, keep it up.

Lenses can be flat for initial approval, but must be the bubble type for EIB and above..

But for stunt the eyes are flat right, I really like the bubble lense, so torn about that....

Looks like a blast, I saw the concert in Cleveland a few weeks ago, Ohio Garrison did an some job!

You have six teeth cut out, so it looks like you're doing a Hero build like me!  Woo!  

 

http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/album/27-helmet-frown-a-new-hope-hero/shows how the teeth look on the Hero helmets.  Check out all of the photo references at the top, and pay close attention to ANH Hero galleries if that's what you're doing.

 

If you're not worried about getting the higher certification levels, then do what you want.  A mix of hero and stunt will be fine, and just make sure what you're doing is OK for the base level (black text) in the CRL.

 

Looking forward to watching your build too!

Where is your build at, I want to take a peek and follow?

[AM 2.0 Armor Build in Ohio]

I was going to cut out all 8 teeth, I just happened to stop for the night on the 6. And my ear has 4 bumps so I was going for the level 2 stunt. Other than the physical details between stunt and hero, whats the difference between the two, I haven't seen that yet in my reading?

[Are you ever too old to Troop?]

I'm 44 and I just started AM 2.0 build! And I want to do this till I can't.

Started some cuts to the mouth, how much is too much?

[AM 2.0 Armor Build in Ohio]

Hi every one, I'm Richard and I'm starting my AM 2.0 armor build and I thought I would document here for everyone.

 

At one time I had some armor off e-bay and put it all together, but I was too over weight (298lbs at my max) and didn't have the knowledge on how to modify the armor to fit. so when I needed money I ended up selling it.

 

Last year I went down to Disney for the first time and saw the 501st on Star Wars weekend, and I thought I want to do that, and do it right. I found the 501 and this site and I think after a tune of reading, I can do this.

 

A few weeks ago I put in my order for the AM armor. I saw that  people said it was for larger people I would have a better chance with it. So I got my Big Brown Box! Cats seem to like it too. 

 

I'm now at 265lbs and I'm still working an loosing weight and its steadily coming off, yea! and it's time to start building. 

 

I figure since I'm working on the weight I would start on parts like the bucket first and work my way to the mid section.

[Hello from Massillon Ohio]

Thank you for the worm welcome!

 

The art I modeled  in Hexagon and rendered in Poser 2014, there are a lot of StormTroopers molded already and free to the public, sou you can start with those or use them as references. You can find some at http://www.scifi3d.com/list.asp?intGenreID=10&intCatID=13

 

I've signed in to the Ohio Garrison already I'm just waiting for approval this morning! I'll make a post probably tomorrow in the morning. So excited to learn and read. Since I'm a photographer too, I'll post and document everything.

[Hello from Massillon Ohio]

Greetings Troopers!

My name is Richard and I'm in Massillon Ohio. I'm a graphic artist and a live time Star wars fan.  I'm looking to get some AM armor and start Trooping soon. Today I'm off to see Weird Al in Cleveland, and the Ohio Garrison is going to be there, I was hopping to talk to some of them on joining in the future. I have some art skills that I want to share with the club and fellow Troopers.

 

At one point I had e-bay armor but sold it to pay bills, but now after seeing this site and the wealth of information on doing Trooping correctly, I'm ready to take the next step into a larger world. I know this will take time but I'm looking forward to it.
