Has anyone heard of starwarspropmaker on Etsy?

I see they're UK based and selling ANH armor but there is no mention of them when I searched it in this forum or any of the previous lists of sellers to avoid. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1785306728/star-wars-anh-spec-stormtrooper?click_key=e579f590f02230585fbaf93ca176ff68ce7fb4cd%3A1785306728&click_sum=b7ab969f&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=stormtrooper+armor+costume&ref=sr_gallery-1-9&organic_search_click=1&cns=1&content_source=9a426eb536b73c2fce2cda45c218762b23773f67%3A1785306728

Not one I've seen before but then I'm not looking on Etsy for armor, very soft details so it may be a recast of someone else's work. Pre trimmed by the looks, not always helpful for sizing, just a few things that stand out, cut belt corners too big, no sniper knee plate or shoulder straps in those photos either.

 

Although it can be a little more expensive I would advise not to purchase from and stick with the vetted sellers, cheaper isn't always better

That looks like crap.

Buying from a legitimate vendor is enough work on its own. Buying something that's from what I've seen introduces a whole new host of issues. I'd do everything you can to stick with trusted sources. When armor is this cheap it's a red flag that something isn't right

Have a look at the list Glen posted above. We're lucky to have a couple of high-quality options in the UK.  They are more expensive, but you're less likely to have problems and actually complete the build.
