Building a Stormtrooper: Introduction and Overview

This is the first in a series of tutorial videos to help those interested in building their original trilogy Stormtroopers or Sandtrooper costumes.
This tutorial series is applicable to most makes of armor, and covers the basics as well as some specific details unique to the original armor costumes.
In this first video, we discuss some important information on Stormtrooper costumes and review each component of the armor. We discuss the names used for each component and some details unique to this kit.

    thanks for making this series, I was just on the ORG Website and found your videos on there, I’m planning on joining once I make my stormtrooper costume, I’m on the heavier side so hopefully I’ll be able to find some moulds that will be able to fit me, I’m about 6’ 330 pounds right now but I love barely had any pop in a couple months so hopefully will get down to 300 in a couple more months.

    The detail and tips are very appreciated. I look forward to you releasing more of them. Hoping to catch up on projects and get my build started this winter. My BBB is patiently waiting in the corner for me. Great bunch of folks, I look forward to joining the ranks.
