CRISTONAMO Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone, I'd like to show you all my Stormtrooper armor Its Mostly AP armor, although the Helmet is a Handpainted MTK. The thighs, thigh ammo pack, TD, and Handplates are FX. (Which I'm looking to replace all three whit screen lineage armor if anyone can help) So my armor isn't 100% done. But i'm very happy with how it is now. The holster is from Darman, the boots are TK boots. and a TrooperBay belt. The E-11 Blaster is Hyperfirm. UPDATE: The first pic is me with now accurate thighs and rubber handguards, and an 8 foot tall wookie! Second Comic con. This one is the Albuquerque Comic con. Group pic with 501st and Ray Park aka Darth maull! I am not a member (yet) but I was able to troop with the 501st this event! My armor next to RS props armor that has an EFX helmet And last, A pic with my friend and his finished scout trooper. So what do you guys think? Other than the armor pieces i'll replace how does it look? Edited May 15, 2014 by CRISTONAMO Quote

Cantina Security[501st] Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 AP is very attractive armor. fantastic work on the build. Zeppelin Rocks... Quote
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Looking great man. And your entire setup looks like the same exact shade of white, despite having parts from all those different vendors. Did you paint the whole thing? Anyway, should be an easy pass as soon as you're of age (and I can't say I've ever seen or heard of an EFX / RS combo before... ) Edited February 27, 2014 by SolidScrafty Quote
Vader Rocks Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Looking good there trooper Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks again everyone, I trimmed enough to wear everything is a form fit, with still some wiggle room but nothing noticeable at all! Looking great man. And your entire setup looks like the same exact shade of white, despite having parts from all those different vendors. Did you paint the whole thing? Anyway, should be an easy pass as soon as you're of age (and I can't say I've ever seen or heard of an EFX / RS combo before... ) Thanks! But I did not paint any of it, I'm justlucky the helmet matches the AP parts. The FX parts are a little too cream colored and I want to replace them. He said he left the RS at home cause he didn't have any padding in it, I wish he had brought it. Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks! I just ordered some more accurate thighs and rubber handguards from trooperbay. Quote
Tehcaveman Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 Are you applying for EIB? If so have you started working on the needed mods? Quote
Cadger Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 Looking good! I think I see the shadow of Vader trying to force choke you in your pictures. Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Posted April 13, 2014 Are you applying for EIB? If so have you started working on the needed mods? Yes, and I have slowly begun making the mods. There is alot of small details I need to make before applying. I need a new Thermal Detonator that I want from TM. And I love your Hero TM!!! Looking good! I think I see the shadow of Vader trying to force choke you in your pictures. Haha yes I noticed that its the 31" Vader I got as a gift Thanks for the comments Quote

The work you've done is amazing I remember seeing it on Instagram and was going to go the same route as you but decided to just do a whole new build.. Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 Got the new thighs and Rubber handguards in: Trimmed and ready for sizing, Sized up and glued front cover strips: Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 What width are these front cover strips? They seem quite large to me. Usually they should be around 20mm. Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 What width are these front cover strips? They seem quite large to me. Usually they should be around 20mm. They are roughly 20 mm They look large possibly cause i have thin legs but for ANH most coverstrips are all approximations on the original suits some were around 22 mm Are mine close enough? Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 As i understand yours are 1 inch wide, which makes 25,4mm. Originals were closer to 20mm and as you have thin thighs i guess you could narrow them a bit if ever you find the motivation : But 25mm wide is perfectly approvable!! Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 Oops How could I not notice that!? Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 Don't get too bothered, nothing dramatic here! Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks, I'll keep them unless it really bothers me, but I think i'll be fine. I just gotta make sure not to screw up the thigh ammo pack! Quote
usaeatt2 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 It seems you're close enough, but just to be clear, it appears you're measuring with a standard tape measure, NOT metric. I assume you know this, but thought it might be worth pointing out if you don't - that could throw off a lot of measurements... Quote

Thank you for that, I just barely realized when the5thhorseman pointed out my cover strip size. I was using that tape measure because I couldn't find my ruler, thankfully I only used the measurments on my thighs. The arms are all correctly measured in mm. I'll measure the arm strips to make sure though. Quote
