Okay thanks I’ve made those changes, anything else?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I moved the biceps as far down as they go, modified the foam star in my helmet and made the eyes bigger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I see, feedback would be so much easier to take in person[emoji846]. I’m going to see a friend today who’s been an imperial officer and is making a shore trooper hopefully chatting with him with put me more at ease. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay I’m getting the feeling that the uk garrison is quiet small? I Can’t seem to find any evidence of people being located locally in bristol??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do have long forearms but it could be the glove slipping off? I’m wearing white gloves underneath? I’ve already spent time making the elbow joint closer there’s only so much a lanky boy can do? If anyone is in the uk garrison, can they explain why my armourer doesn’t respond to my posts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My current stage. Just waiting on my Blaster from sheartech. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to meet you Rich. Thank you so much for the kind words. I think ASOS are currently out of stock for big sizes. I’m always up for making friends with similar interests sounds great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I just touched base with my armourer from the uk Garrison. And he mentioned that I should buy some black or brown Chelsea boots to paint/ dye white. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, that’s cool but will they be an issue for clearance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you will find it a touch easier to bend your arms once swapped. You are right the elbows seem more covered with the forearms on the other arms I will change this[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome and reassuring Frank, I'm from Bristol in England.

Thank you Frank Well I'm not sure if I'll fit in with the 501st, I am shy at first and then I warm up to people but I don't think like be shy in the armour. In fact I was at a local comic con on Sunday and I couldn't buck up courage to speak to the guys in the 501st t-shirts at the stand. I'd like to see if I can get my armour cleared though. I have add a top down photo of my boots to my gallery. that's great to hear about the holster. I think the positioning of the buttons is too tight and raised bit under where the belt goes stop the buttons from clicking, I'm think of adding an extra something there to make it work. Does it matter how tall a stormtrooper is? in the boots and with the helmet I think i go from 6'2 to 6'4 maybe?

I'm going for A New Hope style . Hi I’m Paul, I bought a Tk stunt armour kit from RS Prop Masters and I have followed their youtube videos. I’m going for A New Hope Style stormtrooper. I’m vegan so I would like to avoid using leather. To make the blaster holster I'm exploring vinyl and fake suede. the boots I have are vinyl. There is a flaw in the boots, a right angled seam on the top of each boot makes them look different from the films. A neck seal is on its way. I'm having a little problem with the button snaps that connect the belt to the front of the suit. I know I’m slightly tall for a stormtrooper at 6’2. I am also in want of an ANH e-11 blaster. But I have Rubies Costume Star Wars Rebels, Stormtrooper Blaster as a stand in. click link for my armour
