kurtramsey[TK] Posted April 24, 2016 Report Posted April 24, 2016 Hello Troopers. I'm sure something like this has been done before, but I wanted to give it a shot and attempt it myself. I wanted to share with you my custom built PVC tube Stormtrooper armor stand, or mannequin. I built it in one day, and it cost about $100 from the hardware store. (Depending on if you have supplies and tools already). Here is the finished product: Here is what parts you start out with: Here are the tools you need: And here are the in process pics. No real explanation needed, it's pretty simple. Cut the longer tubes to fit your armor size, and some joints you glue, others you leave loose to move. (And REmove). Who let that battle droid in here!?! I hope you enjoyed this build! TK-36921 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
zv288bot[TK] Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Great job! It even looks cool without the armor on it. 1 Quote

Imperial J[TK] Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Do you think this works better than a regular store mannequin? Because it costs the same amount of money Imerial J Quote
kurtramsey[TK] Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Do you think this works better than a regular store mannequin? Because it costs the same amount of money Imerial J Sorry, no. You can probably find a used store mannequin for cheaper. I just didn't want to go looking for one, and wanted to try making this. (I also am a mechanical engineer, so building things is in my nature). The only thing you get out of this is maybe adjustable arms! I really just wanted to show people how it was easy to do and could be built in one day if you had to. Edited April 25, 2016 by kurtramsey Quote
Imperial J[TK] Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) ---------- there are several mannequins on ebay for less than $100 But if you were just after the fun of making it, I understand Imerial J Edited April 29, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working 1 Quote
NorthernGator Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 I am making one of these! Thanks for posting! 1 Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 I love it! I don't think my wife would want a creepy naked mannequin standing around so this is a great option! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
