Project WST (Windsor Stormtrooper)

[Jaehyc[TK]]

In Sept I and my group of friends decided to make our own armor our only stated goal is "to make a repeatable process that results in 501st approved Stormtrooper armor".

No big deal right. lol. What this means for us is to be in 100% control of all components pertaining to a complete wearable set of armor.

 

 My Part is to make the Vacuum Former which I am 50% done just waiting for my test plastic to come in to build the frame and tweek the process I'll use.

My Buddy Craig procured a 3D Printer that we will use to make the Negative Molds

We've had 5 project meetings for this.

 

Pat is working with Pepakura to see if this will work for us.

 

 

3D Printer works well

 

Brad and Craig are working on CAD Files its a ton of work.

 

 

Our Project group is from top left Matt (He will make the hard molds from the plastic negatives) Me, Vicki, Pat, Brad, Kev (Working on Cloth Stuff) Craig and Stephane.

First attempt at vacuum forming. used a plaster cast made from a 3D printed negative of the arm piece. Were planning to try to use a 3D printed cast next.
