For those following this thread, I plan to use the strapping system described in these YouTube videos: Deathtrooper strapping system Star Wars Cosplay Velcro System

I'm not sure I'm the one to follow. I've never done this before either! I plan to follow the instructions in Lancer's build thread:

After much deliberation I decide to go with Jim Tripon's DT armor kit. I placed the order on Tuesday. It will be a big project for me to get it painted and wearable as I've never done anything like this before, but I think it will be worth it. There are plenty of thread on this forum and elsewhere with advice on how to finish the armor so I'm sure I'll be able to figure out how to do it.

Ah, didn't know about that option! Thanks for the heads-up! I will definitely look into it.

Well, I've started down the long road to a DT kit. I have purchased some Imperial Boots Killer boots and an Anovos helmet, and have soft parts on order from Dark Side Closet and just ordered a DLT-19D Blaster from Plastic Arms Dealer. I am still debating what kind of armor to get: 3d Printed vs ABS vs fiberglass. They each have their pros and cons. I really want to go with fiberglass but I'm concerned about making adjustments if some parts don't fit quite right.

Thanks for the great advice! I'll see if I can find someone local with an anovos to try on.

I looking into the various helmet options and have found these possiblities: ANOVOS Death Trooper Specialist https://www.anovos.com/products/rogue-one-a-star-wars-story-death-trooper-specialist-helmet-accessory ArmoryShop Mk3 https://www.etsy.com/listing/565608783/deathtrooper-helmet-mk3-star-wars-rogue?ref=shop_home_feat_3 PlasticArmsDealer DTx2 https://www.etsy.com/listing/487458314/dtx2-cast-resin-death-trooper-helmet?ref=shop_home_active_13 The ANOVOS looks really nice but is considerably more expensive. I can afford it, but before I pull the trigger just want to know if it really is worth the extra cost. Thanks for any advice!
