CRISTONAMO Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedwelle94[TK] Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRISTONAMO Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadger Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Looking good! I think I see the shadow of Vader trying to force choke you in your pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 What width are these front cover strips? They seem quite large to me. Usually they should be around 20mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share 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?

The5thHorseman[TK] Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share 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!!

CRISTONAMO Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaeatt2 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
