[Markalorian]

Hey all, 

 

I am new to here and I have only just joined up recently, I was hoping to get a stormtrooper costume. Does anyone know to get a full body armour for a stormtooper?? I alreayd have the helemt I just need the armour. If any of you could help me with this that would be great as I have always wanted to make a stormtrooper costume.

Hello and welcome, the Getting Started area is the place to start your research.

 

For everything else Stormtrooper 

 

Also looking through others build threads is a great way to see size and detail https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/

 

There can be a BIG difference in color between makers, also makers themselves can experience color changes from their suppliers. Always good to try catch up with local troopers so you can see in real life the coloring, many garrison's have armor workshops which can be extremely helpful.

 

Research is the key to this hobby and you have some reading in front of you

Hi Mark and welcome to the FISD. 
In case you know the manufacturer of your helmet, it might make sense to check if you can get full armor from the same source.

Otherwise you might end up with color deviation, which is not what you want.
To avoid this, you could still go for a full armor with helmet (not that much upcharge) and use your current helmet for display at home or sell it.

In the links above make sure you read the thread on who to avoid when buying your amour. This can save you a lot of heart ache later.
