It seems like this has been a long time coming. I started down this road 10 years ago. I initially started pricing armor and picking up some of the items I would need back in 2002. I ended up changing directions and decided to build a Boba Fett for my first build. After getting all of the parts over several years, I ended up having to sell it off a few months ago when I lost my job. I decided to finish what I started and build a stormtrooper. After doing some research here, I decided on RT-Mod. A big thanks to all of the build threads that came before me. I have seen some great builds. If this starts out a little familiar, you can thank Darth Aloha for that. I am 'borrowing' some of the elements of his thread. While waiting on the armor (Rob is going to work on it when he returns from vacation) I have worked on compiling the remaining items I needed. 1) 1" White and 1" Black Elastic - Amazon 2) 1" Heavy Duty Nylon Webbing - Amazon 3) Flexible ANH white rubber hand guards with rubber chemical gloves - Sonnenschein 4) Rubber 'S' Neck Trim - Trooperbay 5) Aluminum 1" TD Belt Clips - TK 4702 6) E-ll 'D'-Ring - Trooperbay 7) Chin Strap - Trooperbay 8) Stanley Rivet Gun - Amazon 9) Craftsman Handi-Cut - eBay - for making quick work of the webbing. 10) Bostitch Twin-Blade Utility Knife - Lowes 11) Hangar-9 Hobby Iron - Amazon 12) Split-Rivet Setting Pliers - Mac's Antique Auto Parts 13) Split Rivets - eBay 14) Chicago Screws - Amazon 15) Tandy Snaps and setting tools - Darth Aloha/eBay 16) Lexan Scissors - eBay 17) Industrial Velcro - Trooperbay 18) Aker Voice Amp - TK6294 19) Rare-Earth Magnets - Lee Valley 20) Canvas TK Belt - Trooperbay 21) Trooper Helmet Masking Templates - Trooperbay 22) Leather ANH Stunt Holster - Trooperbay 23) Imperial Fan Kits - Tk-4261 24) TK Ab Buttons - VaderDave 25) Imperian Communication System (iComm) - TK6294 26) Stanley 50 Gallon Tool Chest - Home Depot 27) Hyperfirm ANH E-11 - SciFire - The Counter has fallen off. I need to glue it back on. What's a good option for the hyperfirm? 28) Stormtrooper Boots - TKBoots 29) Nomex Flight Gloves - Smitty I've picked up a couple tubes of E-6000. I have a neckseal coming from LadySewForUs. I also have some Mic Tips on order. I will be replacing the TD also. I'm still not sure how I'm going to do the thighs. No one is currently selling garters. What options are there? Any suggestions or constructive criticisms are welcome...
