Andor_FX[TK] Posted May 29 Report Posted May 29 (edited) Hello fellow troopers! I'm thrilled to share that I've just received my approval for an ANH Stunt build, featuring an MFX armor set and an RS Prop Masters helmet, a combination I'm genuinely proud of. The armor itself came to me secondhand and in rather rough shape, so the entire build was essentially a full restoration from the ground up, including a complete re-strapping. It's been a rewarding challenge. The blaster is a 3D-printed replica, and the boots are dyed Chelsea boots that turned out surprisingly well. This is actually my third costume overall, but my first armor build -and I have to say, the experience of trooping as a Stormtrooper is something else entirely compared to my previous outings as an Imperial Staff Officer. There's a very different energy to it. Before the final approval, I took the armor out for a full test-wear to make sure I could realistically handle 5–6 hours in it. Let's just say - you all know exactly what I mean when I say it's demanding. But the moment you're in full kit and catch your reflection, every bit of discomfort becomes an afterthought. The joy of wearing it simply outweighs everything else.Looking forward to trooping with my Garrison members soon. May the Empire stand! That was the starting point and how it turned out 1/2 year later First time test fit all parts holding together with white duct tape the worst moment, I glued one coverstrip The wrong way around with super glue and tried to get it off again... Pre Approved "test troop" as non registered trooper... You can find pre approval pictures an details here: Edited May 29 by Andor_FX 6
