An update

Long time no update. But I’ve not been slacking on the stormtrooper, though project time is less now I’m married (who’d thunk it?). Really happy with how it’s going. The arms, chest/back, hands and thighs are pretty much complete. Gluing right now are the snaps for the ab/kidney plate to fasten them together. Then I need to replace the temporary velcro on the groin/butt plates with snaps and the torso is complete. Also started the first shin.

The helmet is getting there. Lens sorted, grille behind the frown sorted, most of the interior padding is sorted though I need to finish that off. I’ve also bought a cheap voice changer and a couple of fans which are mid cable. And in the nature of this site I scratch built my aerators, which when painted up gloss black and given a metal mesh cover will do for the casual fan, which is the target audience.

And here’s the big box of bits. Lots still to do but definitely moving along. I’m also shopping for mannequins so it doesn’t have to live in a plastic crate. If anyone knows where I can get a cheap one please do let me know.

Ta for stopping by!
