spoox[501st] Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I received my FX lite last week and whoaaa it is so cool!! I am touching the armor parts, smelled them, held them together to see how it looks and I tell ya.. I can't wait to start on this project!! It will be tricky since I am female... but, I managed to do it with my Captain Rex clone so this should work too. Here is a pic of my current Rex phase 1 test fit: Some minor finished to do and waiting on the pauldron but I can say 95% finished! On to the Storm Trooper, I want to do the ANH version since my fiancee is doing his vader ANH style so we will make a good match. I still don't really know what the specifics are of the ANH besides the way the buttons look. I have the ANH CE replica helmet that I still need to mod as well. I am 5'9 and around 200 lbs but still loosing weight slowly so I should be able to do this. I will post progress pictures here since I will slowly start putting this awesome suit together. Keep checking back cuz I will need lots of advice haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry19D Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Nice work so far on the Cpt Rex clone armor. I'd love to build a set myself someday, when both time & money are more abundant than they currently are. A good place to check up on the specifics on the nuances of ANH-style armor is the Elite Standards page here on FISD. It lists everything that is particular to each film as there are a number of differences between ANH, ESB & ROTJ. You don't have to go all out to Elite if you don't want to (although I know Paul would love it if you did!), but at least the info is there. I personally like ANH armor the best.

spoox[501st] Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks everyone! I have already been doing a lot of reading on the how to's and what not to do's lol. I watched the youtube videos which are very helpfull and I feel quite confident in building this suit. I would love to go for the elite standards but I dunno yet. I figure I put the armor together first and then go for all the ANH details. It is awesome to see all the pictures in the elite forums too. I decided to start with the upper part first and leave the hardest for last. I have chunky legs so that will be a challenging part too. I definitely need some shims...or loose about 30 lbs haha.
