Captain Radu Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 If you are over 6 ft tall the only thing that will fit you is an old FX, or an AM. I have heard the RT-Mod will fit as well but there is a waiting list. My big question is, why do you want to be a death trooper? Let me say that this is coming from a guy who sculpts zombies for a living. I live in Pittsburgh, about 3 blocks from Tom Savini and have as many zombie appliances that you would ever want. If you are joining the 501st, it is not a kid friendly costume. You would only want to wear this at conventions. I have seen kids cry and scream just seeing a stormtrooper let alone.

Darth Hilarious Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm absolutely sure that the HWT is a 501st approvable costume, if you do it like this: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_hwt You might also find this subforum here at FISD extremely useful: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showforum=45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 It's an AP kit. Assuming you build it correctly, it will be quite acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Good idea Joseph, glad to have you aboard the Tantive IV Boarding Party. Dont you love how that name plays off the words "onboarding" which is what we primarily do for Canadian Garrison now, and also "party" which is what we try to do all the time while trooping? Anyhow, it is a very wise decision to go with HWT. You get the best of both worlds as a ANH stunt and a trooper with a big GUN! I'd suggest you doing your ANH stunt first and source accessories over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 You can have a DLT-19 as a regular stunt. No need to go HWT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 You can have a DLT-19 as a regular stunt. No need to go HWT. I think he's being influenced with the other HWTs in the Garrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 And I'm just not very fond of HWT's I think it adds to the the old thinking that a stormtrooper can wear a pauldron (which FISD has worked since forever to stop) and at the same time confuses people who finally have learned that sandtroopers are supposed to be dirty (which is one of the main reasons why MEPD got started).
