Well, sitting for hours with hazardous chemicals over my face and body wasn’t very enticing! Not to mention I’d need a number of friends to help with the entire process. Up until recently, the only way I ever saw for building something like this was by doing a full-body mold. With that established, how do you go about starting something like this? I’ve found there to be a sufficient lack of cohesive tutorials on this, the most prevalent of which seeming outdated. The fastest, cheapest method is to buy a set outright, but where’s the fun in that? It’s not just about having the armor for me – I want to experience the *build* of it, see its creation through from the very beginning. So, what does this entail? Well, it’s quite overwhelming at first, to be honest. How cool is that‽ (Strangely, I think that’s the first time I’ve used an interrobang here.) I’ve never really built a costume before – just your typical stuff in grade school, nothing crazy – but I’m tackling the creation of screen-accurate stormtrooper gear. I recently began working quietly on one of my better-kept secrets: I want to build a full set of stormtrooper armor.
