The easiest way is to just entrap a couple of troopers with a weak ruse, blast them without leaving blaster marks somehow, take their armor, and hope you're not too short to fit it.

Lol, considering not one single Original Trilogy movie had a unclean armor...ROTJ, the endor scouts/stormys had dirt wear on the armor. ANH, sandtroopers and stormtroopers both had wear and damage... ESB, most stormys had wear on the armor

retrowoody70 I know it was Made from Khaki green HDPE...technically it is wear because the paint started to come off...and the endor scene showed the tanning of the armor (Which is considered wear/weathering) as sandtroopers are also shown to have a thick motor oil dirt/sand combo as a effort to make weathering. Most scout troopers have airburshed black spots on them, which is also considered wear

What you are saying is not entirely accurate. thewhitearmor.net community almost overwhelmingly disapproves of those kits and even has an entire thread dedicated to why you should not purchase one from there. Andrew Ainsworth makes a number of claims about his armor that are flat out wrong. Including about him being the original creator.

One the the most AWESOME VIDEOS EVER!

The ATR armour is made and dispatched from a shop in England just down the road from me. I often go in and see them moulding it and boxing it. The guys thee are so cool.

I've always wanted to get together a Scout Trooper armor set, and to me it seems like the easiest armor to put together, and the most comfortable armor set to wear. I might look into getting an ATA Scout Trooper armor set, if available, but in terms of time, I have no idea when I'll be financially able and experienced to purchase it all and put it together.

hellogreedo I just got a RS Prop Master armor (being bult) It is casted from the moldings from the ESB (empire strikes back) and well they can buld it for you with every thing you need you give them your measurements (arms, legs, est) but I have to say I would love to buld one one day but I hope i will remember to give you a feed back when i get it and witch it will take 6 to 8 weeks .

thanks i will look into it

If I had the money and time, I'd purchase a screen-accurate TIE Fighter pilot costume and join the 501st.

I have a quick question: I want to get on the ATA waiting list, but I don't have the $500 or so dollars yet, but will have that money in a few months. I saw the waiting list is still about 6 months. Do they charge you the fee when you first get on the list, or at the end?

7 years ago and I missed it? Experiencenced with RS prop pro builds? Looking good #LongLiveTheEmpire#

Dude, that Weird Al autograph is so awesome, must've been a joy to meet him in real life!

i would love to modify this armor into a sandtrooper outfit, sand troopers are my favorite troopers they just look so cool with their back packs and shoulderpads, also i love the dirty look of sandtroopers

Hey HelloGreedo I'm curious where you go to purchase Armor Kits I completely lack the skill required to build any of that on my own. Also I want to thank you personally, you and Sam Witwer completely re ignited the fire in me and strengthened my resolve to join the 501st. by any means necessary.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but I was wondering if you liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Star Wars and LotR are similar (being fantasy epics, trilogies, etc), so I was wondering if you liked it. Personally I love it just as much as Star Wars.

you are My favorite KZreadr.

oh, I was hoping this was going to be about the in-movie Stormtrooper kit. Composition, capabilities, helmet functions and design features like which culture it was based on and why it's even used when it is obviously hard to see out of. Oh well.

I like the gino hero helmet with the bubble lenses and ap armor

The more I watch 501st Legion videos, the more I look around for blaster builds or armor assembly, the more I want to try it. What did the Doctor say? "Every time I think it can't get more extraordinary it surprises me. It's impossible. I hate it. It's evil, it's astonishing. I want to kiss it to death." Okay, so that's going a bit extreme, but the more I see the members doing their thing and showing kit builds and all that, the more I want to try it. That, and it's a stormtrooper costume. Would be pretty cool to build and own. As terrifying as it is, I want to try it... when I have the money.

Hey HelloGreedo, what is the name of the padding you put inside your helmet, i'd die to find out what to put in mine to get it to fit!

I have the uniform, but I lack a Helmet. Wondering what middle of the road helmet is good. The black series one is to small. Any ideas. I am also making a HAN SOLO fan film.

Hey HelloGreedo, I actually just got my ATA kit in the other day and I have no idea where to start, especially with trimming. Maybe you could point me in the right direction, I've looked on FISD and I couldn't find much about actually trimming an ATA kit, unless it's not to specific to ATA armor.

I wonder if a molle rig could work. Like attaching pals thread to the armor and threading it through a jpc.

Holy shit... weird al signed your helmet, that’s awesome.

Will the ATA Armor work if I want to do the ESB Version? I know the ANH version will work because that's what you did, but do you know if you this kit will work for the ESB version?

Say I wanted to make a scout trooper helmet by the premiere of TFA, got any tips to do this that quickly?

Can you do a video on Mandolorian armor? I know my aunt made some from scratch without any websites or whatever, but I wanna see if there's any other way to make it

Hey Greedo, where'd you get your doopydoo's kit? I'm in the process of doing an E-11 PVC build, but I'm sort of realizing how difficult some parts (namely the grip, optic, and magazine) are going to be for me to make from scratch, especially with the limited tools at my disposal (cheapo rotary tool that torque stalls in SCH40 PVC, woop woop!). So it'd be really nice if I could pick up resin casts of the parts i'm not confident in my own ability to make. I don't expect it to be screen accurate or anything, but I'd like it to at least approximate the on screen guns, and I haven't been able to track down a kit yet. Thanks, if you take the time to reply. If not, it's whatevs- keep on keeping on man.

So are you in the 501st Legion? And if so, are you an active member? Great videos, by the way. :)

I don't have a local garrison, and if I do it Probaby is out of state. Is there any fully completed armor sets that I don't need to assemble?

Cool channel. Got a recommendation from KZread given my current research (built on long outstanding plans), to do a middle-of-the-road Vader outfit, primarily built around a Black Series helmet. Not 501st level quality, but waaay better than Halloween quality costumes, and better than the cosplay crap on eBay/AliExpress. This seems to be a very underserved area of the market. Not the thousands of dollars at the high end, and not the hundreds of dollars at the bottom end, but something in the middle.

What is the difference in blue or black eleven lines on the side of a Stormtrooper helmet? They are on the exterior of the internal power cells. Could it be ventilation?

How about the Anovos armor kit? I'm looking for the first order stormtrooper kit

Do you know if there are Scout Trooper, Snow Trooper, or Shadow Trooper kits?

2:23 WHAT PADS DO YOU HAVE IN THIS HELMET? They look so comfortable~

What do you think about new stormtrooper design in tFA?

Any thoughts on Anovos storm trooper armor? Thanks

What website did you buy the e-11 blaster from?

Re-watched this 4 years later... This is what pointed me in the direction of the 501st and man, when he thossed out the 7,000 member line... It's just crazy we are almost at 20,000 🤯

What if I wanted to get a set of mandalorian armor, like Jango or Boba Fett? I heard a long while back that the 501st doesn't allow custom mandalorian armor, that it has to match either Fett armor. Which to me, is weird as far as I know, Mando culture allows for the customization of the armor. If anyone knows of a link to a good forum for the Fett armor, please let me know.

greedo i have a electronic e11 will that work?

Can you give me a link to where i can buy the E-11 kit?

Where did you get your armor from?

Rubies armor is available now for just over $600. with good tools, skills and patience, you can make it look just fine for way cheaper than $1200. The only people who notice the inaccuracies are like armor experts, which outside of the 501st, are very hard to find. The picture shown was on a mannequin. I promise it looks better on a person lol. EDIT: The rubies helmet is jank though. Scrap that and get another.

For making Rubies 501st approved: -replace undersuit with skin tight undersuit -replace helmet with almost any other stormtrooper helmet. -modify shoulder bells with rotary tool, as they are too thick. -if Chest plate and ab plate have a gap, either replace the chest and ab plate (recommended) or saw ab plate in half at the belt line, replace with a wider belt and reattach. -custom heat fit and trim every piece -cover buttons on chest plate to back plate connectors. (Or use a pauldron.) -get proper boots and neck seal -E-11 holster (optional) -ensure paint is matching colors. Am I missing anything?

So can anyone answer my question, so can we modify the outside of the armor? For example, I want to make a shock trooper out of the armor, can that be approved in the 501st? Just seeing if you know.
