Introduction

Hi everyone, just touching base as a new member. I have been reading threads about sourcing costumes etc. I would like to start with a traditional Stormtrooper or Sandtrooper armour.

Due to my location in the Qld outback I would like to source ready made armour, if that's possible. I think I have seen that RSpropmasters may be suitable. I have seen a company called Original Stormtrooper as well. Can anyone provide advice on this please?

Looking forward to developing my armour and raising some money for charity.

Welcome to the forums! If you haven't already go sign up on the FISD forum at www.whitearmor.net and say hi. That's the forum for everything stormtrooper. I'm not sure if MEPD has a different board but someone will confirm that for you.

Have fun and don't be shy to ask plenty of questions

Hi and welcoe to the Redback forums.
RS Prop are good and reputable, but stay away from original Stormtrooper.
Deffinitly sign up on the FISD boards as mentioned in above posts, that is where you can find a list of vetted armour makers. Also stay away from ebay.
The 501st has a very specific set of costume references to follow.
There are more than one version of the humble Stormtrooper, as they differ slightly from each movie.
Take a look at the links below.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

You have got a lot of good info already, what a helpful bunch of people

If you are looking for a stormtrooper costume have a look over many costumes in the Costume Reference Library (CRL) there are a few to choose from:

Once you know what stormtrooper you want to do, head over to First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (FISD) to do your research and find an amrour supplier from the vetted sellers list. Get in touch with them and give them as much info as you can height, weight, leg, arm and as many other measurements etc to find the best armour for your body type and your budget. I know that there are places to purchase approvable premade kits and FISD would be your best bet to find them.
