Progress

It’s going fairly slowly, but that’s because I’m taking my time, I want this to work out well. I’m not going for movie-authentic and certainly not aiming to joing the 501st, but I want it to look good and ‘be’ a stormtrooper to the average geek on the street. Which includes myself.

The helmet is getting there, all screwed and glued. I’ve started painting and attached the black comms thingy at the front. Cut the trim around the edge but it’s not glued in place yet. Still need to cut the brow trim. Some padding inside, but I’m still waiting on the ebay seller to ship me my lenses. Once those arrive I’ll pad them first to make sure I can keep my glasses on when I don the helmet. Then I’ll pad the back to keep it all sturdy.

Arm assembly is under way, the shoulder is currently taped to the bicep, but bicep and forearm are strapped up. I’ve just ordered some webbing material to snap the bicep to the shoulder, then I’ll repeat with the other side.

So yeah, progress.
