Any interest in creating NZ-made sets of costume armour?

Finally found another plastic recycling place that will take ABS offcuts. I hope they will be able to pick up soon! 13 boxes off cuts and rising.......

Thanks for the reply! (should need one more post before i can pm so ill ask here)

You say this would be a "fan sculpt", i just want to check if i would have any issues getting into the 501st legion with this suit? (providing i put it together well)
Also would this include everything required? ie, the lenses for the helmet, the jumpsuit, fittings/straps, Velcro...ect?

Thanks again for the quick response.

well what I meant was the original forms are a fan sculpt and don't come from a screen used suit which some of the overseas suit are (like RS, ATA, TE I'm no expert on this). But my suits have been approved about 14 or 15 times so far so you shouldn't have any trouble if you do a nice build up. I'm on version 2 or my armour so it's a bit more accurate in places.

You'll still need a black bodysuit gloves, belt, neck seal, holster, strapping for the armour. My helmet kit comes with lense material mice tips decals etc.

hope this helps

Hey all a couple of super exciting pics. I resupplied my plastic stock; probably got a little carried away to be honest Anyway this is what 9 stormtrooper outfits look like.

Also here's the new thermal detonator based on a 68mm outside diameter pressure pipe. I've got the code for it somewhere. If anyone who has the old detonator and wants to upgrade pm I'll see what I can do.

It looks to big to me but it's based on measurements from an RS props suit so who am I to argue?

ooooh black plastic,

Lots. Wow!
I have spent this am reading this entire thread.
Would you PM all the details about cost and option please.
The past 6 months I have been trying to build from scratch a suit and so wished I could have followed this thread earlier.
I am keen on buying a suit and also continuing with my build fro fun.
I have made moulds from plaster, what did you use to seal and harden for vacuum forming, as also struggling to find info and products in NZ.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
