Just received a phasma kit from them without finding this post first. :'( Luckily I found the Phasma FB group and posted pictures before I did anything to it and they told me it was innacurate. All I gotta do now is trudge through their return policy BS. Sneaky Hutt-spawn changed their name.Star Fortress is now on Etsy as Warpcostumegallery and Amazon at Thor's Costumes and Hobbies. Just an FYI.

So this is a kit from Thor's costuming and hobbies off amazon. The armor pieces are very well made and exceeded my expectations, the only complaint I have is that the pictures they have up on Amazon show a couple gaskets included and I didn't receive them. I probably didn't read as far into the product description as I should have but no worries. I'm considering making my own gaskets.

So I just experienced my first big brown box day, and it is more exciting than I've read. However I didn't really read alot about it being incredibly overwhelming as well. Holy crap I have no idea what I'm doing. I have this suit of beautiful fiberglass Captain Phasma armor and I don't know where to start. Well I kind of do, first I'm going to be researching and in between researching I'll build a little paint booth in my garage. Then I'll research more and more (I'm pretty sure I'm going to be researching the entire time) I'm almost afraid to even touch the armor. Well here I go on an interesting, exciting, and most likely a little painful journey to become captain phasma.

I am a newbie and I know it's a little crazy that the first thing I want to make is Captain Phasma armor but I was wondering if worbla (thermoplastic) is 501st approved.

Where, What and Whom To Avoid When Buying

So as a total noob I read this post but not through all the replies to it then bought a Phasma kit from Thor's costumes and hobbies. Doing more research after my ordeal I found someone said Starforge is now Thor's costumes and hobbies on Amazon, while I did research and can't attest to that I can say to avoid them at all costs! After posting my armor kit I received on here and on the Phasma Facebook page many people were quick to point out inaccuracies in the armor. I decided to return it as I don't have the means to re-fabricate an entire set of fiberglass armor. They claimed it met or exceeded 501st expectations in their description on Amazon. I bought it for that purpose. Well they have since refused my return request in a series of unprofessional, rude emails that do a lot of badmouthing the 501st. Please don't buy from them. I'm gonna post the email traffic below because it is hilarious and to show how unprofessional this seller is.
(Italics are emails from me)
(Bold are emails from the seller)
