Paul's stuff is amazing. Tm doesnt spout or show off, he lets the armor do the talking. A true inspiration for the star wars/prop comunity. I salute you TROOPERMASTER.

welcome John

curtis..these pictures just bring a tear to my eye. Ive seen this develop from an acorn and all the effort that has gone into it. Curtis you are a stormtrooper legend. Pure class all the way. Thanks for sharing this amazing journey. cheers mate

CANT WAIT for this to start.... good luck dude

good luck dave. we will be waiting for ya. cheers mate

dude there are a couple of other garrisons ...uk based ----- Very freindly as well And theres Knites of the empire ----- again very friendly but they are closed at the moment for newbies. Hope this helps cheers

That was a brilliant success bernard. well done Just to go off topic a bit......omg that chewie is amazing!! i have never seen one as good as that. Chewies never seem to capture the look, but that guy has got it spot on. cheers for posting and well done again bernard.

sorry but i havnt done any more ....just got back from sunny wales last week...loads of sh1t to sort out at work.. still very commited. obsessed is the word. i dream stormtrooper and molds and vac-forming and helmets!!!!! am i going mad or is this just the norm for people that love star wars(badies) all these years? cheers

good point steve.. allways gotta think of others. cheers

Dave, Just out of interest is there going to be any more on the ol video front??????? ps hope the missus anf family are well cheers

I like it. You can make him look even meaner by cutting a little more of the eye socket out towards the middle. ------------- Its just an opinion. How to attache the chin straps and where did you get them /make them from??? cheers

Its a good idea to do it like this IF you are never going to sell the armor to anyone else as it might never fit them and they would be an unhappy purchaser. Just my penny's worth cheers

Nice tip paul. Thanks for sharing cheers dude

What a brilliant idea. heres a link to a forum that some members here are signed up for. It has a whole section on vac-forming Trouble is i cant seem to sign up for it?? ----- cheers

This has been a brilliant thread thanks to curtis. This is the mark that any new person should look to. Curtis your a legend. cheers for posting. :D

it would be a brill idea. i would love to see that. It would probably be a lot of work though. cheers

Tm will pipe in about this. I might be wrong but i believe it was just common grey pipe (uk)that had vac formed bit added. cheers

cheers guys, thanks for all the support. It means a hell of a lot to a humble guy. cheers

Bernard speaks many words of wisdom.

curtis hope you are ok. is there any pics of your helmet yet?? cheers matey boy

Ive been making some adjustments to the chest piece. Ive also purchased some armor pieces. The reason behind this is to get some 3d idea about some of the nuances. Pictures are good and screen grabs are vey good, but nothing beats having something tactile you can relate to. Ive learnt also that working with car filler and sanding creates a hell of a lot of dust!!! Trying on the "other pieces" makes me soo glad i'm making my own. Not in a million years would they ever fit me. There was a gap of 10 cm between the lower abdomen and the chest plate on the "other " armor Here are some comparison pictures of the latest workings. The Mold/Plug is on the left... And another angle.The Mold/Plug is on the left Anyway back to sanding. cheers

Nice job..yeah let see some armor on it. thanks for posting cheers

Thanks for posting these amazing pics. cheers

Nice idea,, iw ould post pictures if i had any.....surely someone can help out here??? cheers

Curtis....looking foreward to seeing the helmet done. Cheers
