Mad Cow Rebel Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hello everyone, I have wanted to build a stormtrooper helmet for years (I've also been a member of this forum for years and never posted) but life always got in the way. Last night I decided to just do it. I figured since it's my first go at it I'd just look for a cheap kit off ebay and I actually found a half decent looking one. I have no idea what maker it is and I realize it may be a recast (that did not occur to me when I bought it). It's just the vac formed parts so I'll need to source the rest. It looks like an ANH to me but now I think it may be an ESB? I know it's definitely not the best available but I figured before I shell out the cash for an RS props kit I'd use this as a trial run. I imagine I'll have a lot of questions for you all and if anyone has any advice for a guy new to trooper armour I'll gladly take it Here are the photos from the ebay listing, I will post more when it gets here in around 10 days from now Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Avery, Welcome to FISD. As you have said, (trial run) this is a good start point to learn the basic for a Helmet build. take your time and revew the info Glenn pointed , you may want to open a build thread , post photos and receive some feedback here.

Mad Cow Rebel Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks guys, since I'm still not sure if it's an ANH or ESB I didn't want to post a build thread in the wrong section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
