CableGuy[Admin] Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hi Paul, Welcome aboard!! Great links and advice from the guys above. The list of vendors is definitely helpful. Before you spend any hard earned cash, feel free to post here and we’ll happily give you advice. If you want to get a feel for how a stormtrooper suit is built, I’d suggest a could of different build tutorials. They’ll give you a really good idea of how to trim the plastics, gluing, snaps/poppers, elastics and strapping, all sorts. First and foremost, before you start on your build, I’d check out this website and learn more about the original screen used props: http://www.starwarshelmets.com/stormtrooper_helmets_armor_and_costumes.htmBuild tutorials - RS Prop Masters:RWA Creations:Once you’ve got a good idea of the build progress, feel free to check out my videos which go into the finer details:Best wishesDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
