Is shadow trooper armor just a painted TK armor?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys I'm new been lurking and asking around on different detachment forums. i originally didn't plan to do a TK for my first armor. i still might go with something else but I found a screen accurate ANH kit for a really good price.

 

I was wondering if the shadow trooper is just painted from the TK white abs or does it have its own kit with black abs? 

 

I also have a few more questions

1: can i turn the normal TK into a shadow trooper 

2: can i use the rogue one armor for a shadow trooper? 

3: I'm 5'3 or 4 (M) the armor is designed for 5'7 plus. Can i trim the armor down to fit me and not look weird, goofy/ funky.

 

Other kits I'm interested in are tie pilot, shoretrooper, staff officer and a mando (for recommendations)

Shadow trooper falls under Spec Ops https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_shadow_stormtrooper

 

You can find the CRL here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_shadow_stormtrooper

 

Yes you could paint white armor black BUT it would be some work and because it would be easily scratched would show white underneath so I wouldn't personally attempt it.

 

Rogue one armor is different version of stormtrooper. R1 CRL here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_rogue_one

 

Plenty of build threads here on the forums of white stormtroopers that are of a shorter stance than many ;) 

 

Plenty of makers supply black armor ;) 

 

Each costume has their own detachment, here is the list of 501st CRL's (costume reference library) you may find of help https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbyname

Hey Martin yes to everything Glen said. However anything on Spec-Ops detachment that is TK based they will refer you back here to FISD. I'm in the middle of building a EU magma trooper and they are there as well. So far as the short trooper there are several threads here to help you along check out cricket and Sha Sha Chu build threads. There are others those are the ones that come to mind though.

Hey Martin I have a Shadow0Ttrooper at the Specialist level. If you have any questions I'd be glad to help. 

Martin,^^^ this guy knows his stuff ^^^ so rest assured regardless of the home of the Shadow trooper, you are in good hands.
