There are some great threads you can follow in our build area, that's how most learn what is required to build a Stormtrooper 

 

You can find the differences between the versions here

Also info here on the different versions http://starwarshelmets.com/stormtrooper_helmets_armor_and_costumes.htm

 

A great thread full of helpful links

CRL's are here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL (costume reference library) these have the base requirements for 501st approval

 

Once you decide which version you can start a build thread, great way to get feedback and assembly tips, build areas area here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/31-costuming-and-builds-original-trilogy-and-anthology501st-approved/

 

Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions

thank you eveyone but does the 501st favor one or the other ? the ANH or ESB? i just want to know whick one i should build?

I’m not familiar with what parts come with Walt’s kit, but see what hand plates are included.

If only one set is included, build that version 😜

If both ANH and ESB hand plates are included, decide which version you prefer and build that.

Most favour ANH due to it being the first time we had seen Stromtroopers. You can however do several versions with swapping out a helmet a belt, holster etc, not that hard to do, ANH Stunt, ANH Hero and ESB, if you get a pack, pauldron and pouches you could also do a HWT.

 

I wore my ESB and I did get asked a few times which do I look angrier, why are your teeth black.

Entirely up to you which version you wish to build
