Lucas Kon Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Starting on my first Stormtrooper build and I have a question that hopefully you can all help me out with. When you glue your armor to your under suit how do you wash it? Help, I don't want to wear a costume that stinks. The Empire will feed me to a sarlacc for my rancid smell. Thanks!

Lucas Kon Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 How did you attach your armor to your under suit if you didn’t glue it directly to the fabric? Do you use Velcro? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use Velcro? Thanks! This may help, all of the strapping is glued to the armor it does not get glued to your undersuit. Most use snaps and elastic but some use Velcro. Armor can get quite sweaty so I give it a wipe down with warm soapy water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k3 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yes i did something similar, some others use a sort of harness systemSent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 As mentioned, your armor pieces are held together via a strapping system and are not attached to the undersuit. The late great Daniel (TK 42911) has a fantastic video (link here) which shows the full process. As for the smelly factor, I keep a stash of sanitizing wipes in my armor bin, and I wipe down the inside of each piece before placing it back in. The undersuit can (and should) be washed after each use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
