TK71169[501st] Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 Hello, Troopers! I am wanting to build an exact replica of ANH HERO (Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper). Although, I do not want to build from scratch, and would prefer to order where the company can already have the armor fitted to my proportions. I'd like to get the helmet, first, but where should I go for this build, you'd say? I'm seriously wanting to become a member, before this year is over. All help is very appreciated. I'm excited to make some legitimate progress. Thank you all in advance. Quote

I might be wrong but I think there is only 2 company that make ready to wear and they have years of wait time. You should buy a kit and build it yourself. You could have that done in a few months.

MakeNoiseMan[TK] Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 I second Jordan's advice! Building wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. It's more cost effective too, if budget is a factor. There are countless helpful, experienced troopers on here that will ensure you stay on the right track and that your armour comes out awesome. Just a thought! :-) 2 Quote

Digz Graavz[TK] Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 When I first started out, I was determined to just buy a ready-to-wear suit, but much research lead me to build my own. It's truly not hard and there's a ton of info available (both already posted on here, and yours to ask for). It's also a source of pride to know that you did it yourself, kind of like those Jedi scum who build their own lightsabres. What's your height/weight (if you don't mind me asking) as that can determine what sort of extra work might be required. I think it's all been addressed before so the info is out there to make the suit fit. 1 Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 If you are looking for an accurate pre-built Luke Hero suit Troopermaster is the only vendor I’d recommend. He knows his stuff. 1 Quote

I think it's all been addressed before so the info is out there to make the suit fit. Not 100% sure, but I'd say 5'7 is height, and in armor 8 or 9ish (goal). As for weight, I try to stay fit, so 140ish to 50, I'd say. As long as I can at least look like luke in armor, I'm satisfied. Quote
troopermaster Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 I can definitely help you out with an exact replica, including all the correct hardware and strapping used in Luke's armour. Here is one of my hero's I built to movie specs (not a Luke replica). 4 Quote
Hoda[Staff] Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 +1 on TM. Paul is absolutely fantastic and will get you what you need. 1 Quote
Digz Graavz[TK] Posted February 15, 2019 Report Posted February 15, 2019 5'7 should not be a problem at all. You may need to trim a bit off the bottom for length but not much. I say go for it! ANH Hero is pretty cool. 1 Quote
