Full Stormtrooper Armor!

[🪦 travsall ●]

Thanks a lot guys!! yeah, this is gonna be a real fun project for sure!! Off to a good start too! All the pieces I glued yesterday came out great! Little trimming on them and they\'ll be finished.
I think I have seen that Cops thing Fang, a while back though, was damn funny as I remember!
Colin, you tell her she\'s got a job, just so long as she doesn\'t shed everywhere.
Golem, no firm plans to do a full Fett right now, got the Stormtrooper, and a Scout Trooper on the go. Later on though, I\'m sure I will finish him too.
Mike, yep! I know the best place for a Scout suit, I\'m buying it from them myself, next couple pieces should be sent soon! Go here [url=\"http://www.kropserkel.com/imperial.htm\"]http://www.kropserkel.com/imperial.htm[/url] and email them for the price list. Great guy to deal with, but a little slow with orders, so just be aware of that. More then worth the wait though.

Trav! Kropserkel is based here in Toronto, and you know that lovely armour I have? well my friend Robb aka Thak blacksmith whom you can find on the links page on my site, creates 96% of all of the LOTR armour you see on the Kropserkel site. (The latex stuff he stays away from

Aren\'t you a little short for a Stormtrooper?

Lookin good Trav, i have put together a few of the fx style kits for different people, the helmet is the hardest part of it, it is a fun project looking good so far.

Looks great so far! I would be afraid I would screw it up if was doing that.

Is that right Colin? Really cool stuff! I know KS was in Toronto, but small world eh?
LOL!! Nope Aaron, if anything a littel tall at 6\'4\" or so! Just look small since the helmet is so big, and there was no padding in it at that time, new geared up pic soon!
The helmet was tough, I spent the majority of today on it. Got the sides trimed down flush, the ears screwed and riveted in place, the under trim attached, the frown painted and screened, the rank bars painted and attached, stunt (flat green) lenses cut and installed, the padding worked out, and the basic layout for the voice system planned out. Oh, and then polished it up with the Novous 2 too boot! Wanted to see it shine! I also got the upper arms pretty well done, the shoulder pauldrons attached to the biceps, then attached to the ab/butt plate suspenders, making them independant of the chest and back for better mobility, and looks. No pics tonight as I was out for the evening, but tomorrow, I\'ll take a couple before I start, then hope to have some more good progress later in the day!

Where\'s the damn jealousy smilie when you need it!

Great pick up Trav and if anyone here can do that kit justice here it\'s you. Really looking forward to seeing how this project goes :thumbsup:

Oh and I finaly grew the balls to cut the teeth out of the frown on my lid. Ripped the sticker off and painted it up then poped some mesh behind. Scared of screwing up last weekend but it all went peachy :yes:

LOL!! Got a touch of the greenies do ya Andy? :wink: Thanks a lot man, I really appreaciate that, hope I don\'t disapoint now! Good man on the vents, it just looks a lot better with that done I think, much more accurate too. But yeah, it is just a bit nerve wracking to take the dremel to those vents, one of those kinda final deals if you slip LOL! Felt the same way as I sawed my ab plate from the cod, and the back plate from the ass section, one of those take a deep breath, and cut now before you puss out LOL!!

Got one quick shot here, just the helmet as it sits now. Just need the decals in, and to get the sound system working, and I\'ll be finished with it! Add it to the completed list with the hand plates, chest/back and with the addition of the correctly painted buttons, the ab/butt section.

6\'4" eh Trav?, thought you must be tall..your head was almost touching the ceiling in yer vampire vid.

[🪦 travsall ●]

Yeah, I got a little height on me LOL! That door frame and ceiling is just the right height too, another inch lower and I\'d scrape my forehead every time.

Little more work done, few more shots taken! So, today I got the other forearm glued, both calves glued on the front, and velcro applied to the backs, the other thigh glued in the front, which will make sizing and gluing of the back easier. And, the thermal detonator/O2 tank finished. Another few days, and I\'ll have most of it wrapped up, as far as I can go without getting a couple more things in!
