  5. Denver art museum Star Wars power of the costume

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    If you find yourself in Denver between 11/13-4/2 go to the Denver Art Museum and see the Star Wars exhibition. They have 70 costumes from 7 of the films on display.(sorry no Rogue One) It is mostly Jedi and Prequel dresses but they do have the Fett's armor (father and son) the droids, rebel pilots, and of course Stormtroopers and the First Order. Once I can figure how to use photo bucket prepare for a very large photo dump.

    what you did for the texturing on the helmet is ingenious! I hope to find the same stuff here in the US so I can attempt the same. I might use something else for the paint chips.

     

    If you cannot find that product in the US what I use to use to create a corrosion effect is when the paint or primer is still wet I would sprinkle fine salt onto the spots that I wanted the corrosion appear.

    Here is the link I found of a photo that make me think they used some fabric codpieces (or leather) please look at the trooper coming down the ramp next to the trooper wearing the chest rig, see how the codpiece has folded in on itself near the right thigh. Also the trooper behind the trooper with the chest rig who is just starting to come down the ramp has his codpiece beginning to bunch up in there the front.

  18. Mistake or new trooper

    in TFA Stormtrooper

    I was watching TFA last night when I noticed that the stormtrooper who pats down Poe has a black painted shoulder pad. It is not a pauldron because you can clearly see that it is separate part of the armor and it moves freely when he moves. Of course when he and the two other troopers are escorting Poe and you can see the troopers from behind he now has a pauldron on. I am wondering if this is a mistake or if the shoulder pad was intentionally painted black so that it allowed for better movement in the shot. (much like how some of the troopers had fabric cod pieces when they ran down the loading ramp in the beginning of the film.)

    Hello from SF California

    Hello from SF California. My name is Garrett and I am 40 years old, after meeting the Golden Gate Garrison of the 501st at Silicon comic con this last year and getting the chance to talk with the members I instantly become hooked and knew this was something I wanted to be involved in. Since then I have been doing some research on the different kinds of suits I wanted to build and after wrangling in my excitement I have decided on attempting to build a First Order Stormtrooper suit as my first suit. I have already made the plunge and did a pre-order of a ANOVOS Premier First Order helmet and I have a ABS suit on order. I do have some crafting and building background experience and I have a small workshop that I have built up with the intent of crafting cosplay suits and armor, but I do have to admit that this is new territory to me so I may be asking a good collection of novice questions so please be gentle.
