WhitePatriot77

Im 6'3" 195 so we are pretty close to the same size. Thanks guys I appreciate it. I see theres LOTS of research and tons of material. Just going through stuff to get the blaster accurate was a chore of its own.

Any recommendations for vendors of ANH style Stormtrooper Armor? Im on here looking and all I see so far is who 'Not' to buy from. I will definitely continue to look. I know somone tgat might be selling their armor because tgey need the money right now being out of work for some time ,but they cannot tell me who they bought it from and I would hate to buy somthing not acceptable .

Born in 77' I grew up with Star wars. Was always impressed with the Stormtroopers. Thought they had the coolest armor and loved the E11. Went to Universal Studios in Florida when it opened up and the Starwars attraction had this boy in awe. Theyhad a stormtrooper suit with an E11 on display and I so badly wanted it. Never in my life did I want somthing so much but it was out of reach and not for sale. Now I have a son and his love for Star Wars is a bonding thing for us. He was searching You Tube and showed me videos of poeple making E11 blasters and I had to have one .I bought a Sterling pistol and a parts kit and made the necessary modifications to make it look like the original. Welded on the shroud. Welded a stock on in the closed position. Located a M38 tank scope on ebay along with repair parts for it . Fabricated a mount using instructions from this site. T tracks. Its a dream come true and the ultimate bonding experience with my son. You should have seen him light up. I couldnt have one when I was his age and being able to give him the experience was priceless. ButI have another itch. Armor. I would love to take part in the Legion .Being stuck at home during this covid gave us time for the blaster so figured why stop there. Im located in Kansas so feel free to reach out. Help is appreciated.
