Simple armor stand (PVC tubes)

Recommended Posts

Hello Troopers. I'm sure something like this has been done before, but I wanted to give it a shot and attempt it myself. I wanted to share with you my custom built PVC tube Stormtrooper armor stand, or mannequin. I built it in one day, and it cost about $100 from the hardware store. (Depending on if you have supplies and tools already).

 

Here is the finished product:

Here is what parts you start out with:

Here are the tools you need:

And here are the in process pics. No real explanation needed, it's pretty simple. Cut the longer tubes to fit your armor size, and some joints you glue, others you leave loose to move. (And REmove).

Do you think this works better than a regular store mannequin?

Because it costs the same amount of money

Sorry, no. You can probably find a used store mannequin for cheaper. I just didn't want to go looking for one, and wanted to try making this. (I also am a mechanical engineer, so building things is in my nature). The only thing you get out of this is maybe adjustable arms!

 

I really just wanted to show people how it was easy to do and could be built in one day if you had to.

---------- there are several mannequins on ebay for less than $100

 

But if you were just after the fun of making it, I understand
