Although I do not have the knowledge on the specific set of armor you purchased, I wanted to note that I will be following this thread to help in answering questions about the Shock Trooper costume! Happy to see a new potential Shock Trooper here on the forum!

Hello again, I got too hasty in excitement when I purchased the armor, and it slipped my mind about that stormtrooperstore place that everyone avoids. I saw a sale and took it (honestly I should have remembered the list of sites to use that a helpful staff put down, so entirely at fault on that) and I've spent the most part of the past few weeks thinking over what to do. I've seen some people also have bought from there and have managed to modify it for an at least decent shape to 501st standards, others resold or refunded. I've decided to keep it, it was enough of a hassle getting it by customs and all that. What I wanted to ask, would it be better to spend the money and time to modify it, or keep it as a practice to paint on and rebuy a new set of armor next year? I've seen some of the necessary modifications needed so I know some of what has to be done to get there. Thank you guys a bunch, I honestly feel terrible for falling into that little trap. Also if it's better to just start a completely new thread regarding this, I am more than happy to.

Congrats for your Trooper of the Month on that troop!

Time has a habbit of slipping away at times with real life. Correct satin black is best, doesn't hurt to check Vocoder should ideally be painted black using a satin finish, but gloss is acceptable. Lines should be crisp, clean, not extend beyond the ridges and symmetrical on both sides . Some references

Hi Cody, Glad you took my advice This is a massive resource, but fear not we have plenty of members and staff, all here to assist you in every way we can. Obviously if you need any local Brissy assistance hit me up, I've built/assisted many Redback members with their armour over the years. Glen has given you 2 key links that you should wade your way through, but also make sure you familurise yourself well with the Shock trooper CRL https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_shocktrooper This is the guide on how to assemble your costume to meet Legion basic approval. You will notice some Blue and Red text under the Black text sections. These are optional levels of accuracy you can build to, which will come under review here on FISD as they are driven by the detachment. For your basic approval, that will be handle by our Redback Garrison GML and the CRC (costume review committee) which I am part of as well. Ask plenty of questions, and assistance will flow. Enjoy the journey, it's a wonderful experience.
