  4. How much can I realistically expect to pay to finish my Stormtrooper costume?

    in Getting Started - Read this First!

    I am not yet a member, but am looking to make my own molds, vacuform table, and pull my own stuff as cheaply as possible. I am looking at the armor kit prices, and styrene prices.... Could anyone quote what it cost them to make their own molds, and styrene? If I do it myself I am not seeing the average 550$ for the armor and helmet. I've done enough sculpture to feel confident in this. But am currently trying to figure out budgeting before I begin. I figured I'd start with the white armor prices when made from scratch and go from there.

  5. Regular styrene?

    I see, also I've learned the thickness adds to the price. Thus I now understand why stormtrooper armor is so dang expensive, even when made yourself. I'm still researching this stuff so I can save enough money to justify the purchase. No matter how hard I try to save cash, the project seems to be way pricey. Making the molds, vacuform table, all of fit is doable for me but justifying the money. Can't do 1k on this build..... The white armor styrene would have to be found at a deal for me... Hmm, well, I will keep pondering and looking. Maybe if I can get the hook up.
