  1. Newly approved member of Titan Garrison.  TK ID 53175. I am 42 years old and have been wanting to build a stormtrooper armor set for many years. When I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing armor, my family thought I had lost my mind. 6 months later here I am. Ready to troop!!! Thanks to everyone here who offered advice and help. This is an ATA ANH Stunt build. I should have chosen a less expensive hobby!! I want to do another build.... You don't know me, I can stop whenever I want. LOL I think I'm addicted.

  2. This is my ATA ANH stunt build. This is my first build of any type. I'm aware of the short "S" trim on the helmet, I've ordered a new one. Thanks in advance. I'm going for my basic approval.

  3. This is my first build. ATA kit ANH stunt. Would post in pre approval, but not ready for that as this is not 100% complete. I am still missing the boots and the holster. Hope to have both those elements in the next few weeks. I will be dying my own boots and purchasing the holster in about two weeks. Here is what I have so far. Advice, pointers and otherwise help in getting this build done, are appreciated.

    Things I noticed from my pics. Knee ammo belt not in place. 

    Right bicep too high

    Left shoulder bell too much gap.

    OK here you go! 

  4. I have my thighs and calves done but they are too long. Can I cut down the tops of the thighs? They have a bit of a return edge that will be gone of I trim the tops down. Is that bad? I will trim the calves to, but they don't have a curved edge on the bottom. No problem there. Here is the top of one of my thighs. 20180915_230751.thumb.jpeg.3549f6797b9f780a73461fdbc2cb9555.jpeg

  5. My back plate has curved corners. Is this normal? In all my refrence pics the corners are flat and it fits fine against the kidney plate. Mine does not as the corners are bent. they over lap onto the kidney plate. Can someone answer if I need to try to form these or if its normal?

    This os the gap that's left after strapping it to the kiney plate. It then wants to hang over the Kidney plate after I let go.

    Details look extremely soft (probably a recast?), ab buttons appear to be molded into the chest, looks like very thin plastic, possibly not even ABS.

     

    I mean, you can certainly buy it and make a suit, but I don't think it would hold up to trooping and IMO it doesn't look all that great.

    Perfect that's what I was thinking. It looks like they cast it off their own armor. It's styrene at about 1.5 mm thick. 

  7. And Now the finished product. No lines in the tears or traps though. I will probably finish them up during my armor build. I will post a build on that in four months when it arrives. ATA all the way for this first build project.

    And if anyone knows if there is a right and wrong amount of stripes in the tears and rear traps, that would be super helpful or where I can get some templates. Suggestions welcome as always.

  8. So here are the finished painting except for the ears. Is there a CRL for the amount of vent stripes. I have to do the tube stripes too, but not till I'm done with the ears. I want to cut the vents out for ventilation instead of painting them. Is this going to be an issue with approval in the future? Planning to do an armor build in August.
