@gmrhodes13 Thank you a ton mate! I'm going to be going over these on the weekend. If I run into any further obstacles, or need clarification I'll be sure to ask! I may start the build thread for when I start all that though I'm hoping to make an excellent Shock Trooper! I've got painters tape across my helmet ready in the patterns necessary for it, got all the paint and such I'll need for that.

Hello again, I got too hasty in excitement when I purchased the armor, and it slipped my mind about that stormtrooperstore place that everyone avoids. I saw a sale and took it (honestly I should have remembered the list of sites to use that a helpful staff put down, so entirely at fault on that) and I've spent the most part of the past few weeks thinking over what to do. I've seen some people also have bought from there and have managed to modify it for an at least decent shape to 501st standards, others resold or refunded. I've decided to keep it, it was enough of a hassle getting it by customs and all that. What I wanted to ask, would it be better to spend the money and time to modify it, or keep it as a practice to paint on and rebuy a new set of armor next year? I've seen some of the necessary modifications needed so I know some of what has to be done to get there. Thank you guys a bunch, I honestly feel terrible for falling into that little trap. Also if it's better to just start a completely new thread regarding this, I am more than happy to.

G'day! A couple years later and I finally managed to buy some armor for myself, and soon I'll get in the process of actually putting it together and painting it over! I think I have to make a build thread for my progress over it? Which I can do tomorrow, definitely really excited.

Thanks guys! This is all a real big help, and I'm glad to see so many friendly faces! For the main part I'm eyeing possible finding a T-21 replica, and if not that then the DLT-19. And the various types of armor link helps me out a lot, I had no idea what ABS or ANH meant when looking through some of the stores I had found. Thank you all again!

Gday there! My name's Cody, and been looking to join up for years now. I live in Brisbane and been looking to make a Shocktrooper Stormtrooper costume. Any pointers or stores that would be best for someone down in AUS? Hoping to try finding and completing one by next year, at the very least. Thanks!
