CableGuy[Admin] Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi everyone, It’s been many years in the making, but I finally own a life size Imperial Stormtrooper!! I’ll keep my story brief, so, in short, my brother and I always gravitated towards the Stormtroopers when playing with our Star Wars toys as children. Around the early 2000s, I spent time looking online for Stormtrooper armour, however the choices were slim at that time. Then, when I stumbled across starwarshelmets.com, I spotted a sign behind a picture of two TKs for “SDS”. Reading further, Shepperton Design Studios was (at that stage) then regarded as holy grail of TK lids - so I bought one in 2005: ANH stunt number 330. My dream of a full suit of armour then remained dormant for many years - 12 to be exact. My SDS lid had become yellow after all those years - my decision to renovate (full respray) lead me to whitearmor.net and, as they say, the rest is history. So, I’m now a cleared Imperial Stormtrooper with the UKG/501st and hoping to achieve EIB and Centurion status with my RWA armour and modified DoopyDoos E-11. Thanks to the excellent community on here, the UKG and the RWA group, I’ve had a wonderful experience armour and blaster building and thoroughly look forward to making my trooping debut for worthy causes. Best wishes, Dan It’s a pleasure to join you all. :-) Best wishes, Dan :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger[IPM] Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Congrats Dan. Been following your build on here for awhile, you should have no problems with EI and Centurion (we may well get our EIB at the same time!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
