  1. Slow…very slooooooow, so that’s a hard no on the dare
  2. Yeah the downside when altering the size. I have an idea that should make it fairly ”easy” but we shall see
  3. Helmet all glued up, not pretty but does the job , also added first round of filler.
  4. Helmet partially glued, added some spacers and there’s now enough room. Still very snug but wearable.
  5. I got some work to do, man that’s alot of pieces It’s also too snug and my eye lids are actually touching the visor when I blink…well don’t blink then I’ll ad som spacers to make the helmet bigger and if it’s a miss I’ll get my friend to print at a larger scale. Had to do the TK-twist to get it on, that was a pretty fun trivia thing.
  6. Looking good and I see you followed Denuo Novo ’s version of the forearms
  7. Here’s a video to go with it
  8. Both a minor and a major update so to speak Elastic is in, I bought two shades and one was a pretty good match. Got side-tracked with another cosplay so haven’t ordered the armor yet and probably couldn’t have anyways as Imperial Surplus have had some trouble with their shop, fortunatly they seem to be getting back up, more so for them than me obviously. Anyway, this is what my ”damaged brain” randomly decided to do a few weeks back Ehh what’s that..not a Stormtrooper costume is it? No but a sort of Stormtrooper you could say A JUDGE! Helmet is cast from a screen used one so lineage yeey! and one for laughs
  9. Gloves ordered from amazon, should be in hand within a week:
  10. So….were we at? Helmet I’m going with this version of the helmet: Bought a file from etsy and a friend is printing it for me, he has a smaler printer so it’s going to be in 4 main pieces (bummer). It’s pretty good but I can see a few areas were I will try to make some changes, if you don’t see it you will have to wait untill the helmet arrives Armor Armor is going to be ordered from Imperial Surplus when they get back up and running. As far as I know they are the only ones providing the Concept Armor. Soft goods: Grey 2 piece undersuit came today and it might be a little too light of a shade but I will see if I’ll dye it darker when the grey elastic is in hand (so they match). Still looking on a few options for the gloves. Not sure if I’ll try to source/make a grey neckseal or just go with a grey balaclava (already have that in hand for my Fett). Boots I’m going with this for boots and plan on painting the soles grey:
  11. There’s a saying that ”in the end you go back to the beginning”. That is fitting for this build as it most likely will be my last Stormtrooper build. It’s based on the concept drawings by Ralph McQuarrie that started the life of the Stormtrooper. Althoug the design changed this is were it all started. I would like to dedicate this build to Dan (Cableguy). Dan’s love for the OT Stormtrooper are well known and I would hade really liked to have him with me on this one. We built our Stormtroopers (me a Hero and Dan a Stunt) at the same time and somehow got to talking via pm’s and became friends. We were also D.O’s together for a period of time. Anyway…as he loved the OT TK I’m thinking he might have enjoyed sharing this experience in building a Stormtrooper based on the first drawings of what later turned into the iconic Stormtrooper. This one is for you Dan - you are missed
  12. Standing in front seem to be the only option. Looks like it only got left bicep pieces, they must have been in a hurry
  13. I think so too. You can get helmets from others though and they look a bit different but similar to the different drewings made by Mcquarrie. So as long as the helmet looks like one of those it would be aporoved? Perhaps add those variants to the CRL? I’m going for this helmet.
  14. Question: the helmet in the CRL is different, will that present a problem for approval?
  15. Hmm….trying not to start doing the research for another costume..
  16. No it would be @Deployment Officer Team that handles the EIB and Centurion applications.
  17. Hey, I would say neither option and go with a third. The notches on the kidney plate are optional even for Centurion. Due to the way WTF armor goes together it would require alot of extra work to make it screen accurate so if I were you I would shim straight across. The WTF kidney plate is simply not tall enough. Screen used armor: Diagram in full: You might wanna wait for ”those in charge” before you decide on what you want to do, best of luck with your build
  18. Keep in mind that when wearing the gaskets they will raise the armor closer to the helmet. Looks like there still will be some clearence but perhaps not by much. Just thought I mention it for those following along Now…isn’t it time for a build update?
