So ANH, if you watch some of the clips they had rubber thighs. so why not make a butt plate out of latex?

I have to wait till July =(

And this is why I have a detachable Cod piece.

BWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA I'm definitely gonna have to watch for that.

Were they using recreated Armor or one of our type (AP, ANOVOS, WTF, etc.)

Should have mentioned on the side they could have saved money by using 501st for Stormtroopers. That and at least they would be accurate LMAO

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (Or copy/paste)

Might want to look at those ridges on the front of the thighs.....

Did you scuff up your magnets before gluing them? found that this is the main reason they come unglued, followed by not using enough glue

With gluing the cover strips, I have found it easier to only do one side at a time, Yes it's more time consuming but you get more control over how it goes down

....... Ok that is freaking AWESOME!!!!

So what I had to do to fix my thigh issue/Knee plate issue Get some dense foam, like packing material type Form a V in the top front of your left shin, just below where your kneecap is Place a curved piece in the bottom of the rear of your left thigh I have had 0 issues, since i did this

.........

So need some help from our "Expert Builders" The Chest piece return edge has been completely removed, (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!) The result is that the chest piece is cracking in multiple spots, and is flimsy as all hell. Anyone have an idea or how to make a new return edge from ABS Paste?

So my (Anovos) Shadowtrooper came in today, Picked it up off another member and already seeing allot of work that's going to need to go in getting this from a full size build trimmed down to my 5'5" (#arentyoualittleshortforastromtrooper) self. So without further delays. (Posting here because I can't access Spec ops forums at work =P) A Pic to start it off (Because lets face it we look at pics then read) Helm = Electronics Install Padding Chest = Re Create Return Edge out of ABS paste and ABS Fix Cracks Re-Do Shoulder Bridges Fix Cracked Shoulder Bridge Strapping Padding Electronics Polish Abs= Cut Cod Install tabs Strapping Polish Back= Polish Kidney= Trim Down Return Edge Polish Butt= Trim Polish Thighs= Size down Polish Calves= Fix Sniper Knee Size down Polish Shoulders= Trim Polish Biceps= Size Down Polish Forearms= Size down Padding Polish Gloves= Need to buy Hand Plates Boots= Need to buy Belt= Build out of leather (Why? Well why the hell not?)

Nomex gloves, Don't leave home without them =)

Where has this little Gem been Hiding? This is Awesome!!!!

Question, Have you used the same card to get Gas in the past week? If so I'd stop by the gas station and ask them to check their pumps. Reason I bring this up, was both times I've been hit, It was due to a gas pump card skimmer

Looks great!

Just dont over do it =P

Ty, from all the research that I did, my suggestion to you is that you are better to go with one of the vetted makers of armor, (Anovos, Authentic Props (AP), RS, and walts to name a few.) You will be spending about 1000 on the Plastics / Fiberglass alone (Rough estimate) and then another couple of hundred on tools and odds and ends not to mention Soft Goods (Body suit, boots, gloves) and then Extras (Electronics, Blaster etc) I am already well over 4000 in to my costumes (OT TK ANH-S, Shadowtrooper and Darth Revan) of course Im a little crazy when it comes to certain details that I pay more for (tools, my blaster, Lightsaber) I highly recommend you research every aspect of what you are looking for to get the best price and highest quality. If there is one thing I have found it "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

Check out the https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/11-for-sale-or-trade-personal-items/ Section there are usually a suit or 2 for sale.

I bought mine (Stormtrooper ANH-S) off a retiring 501st member and trimmed the kit down to fit me. My 2nd I also bought from a 501st member and will be shrinking it down (Shadowtrooper)
