Hello! My name’s Carson Zeller, I’m 17 (will be 18 in April of 2020) and I’ve been looking into building a suit for a while now. Naturally I settled on a Death Trooper since I’m a little...obsessed...with them. I do toy photography, as you can see on my Instagram *HERE* and I mainly take pictures of Death Troopers.
I’ve seen a lot of distributors who make the suits and soft parts. As a high school I don’t have the best income, although I do work two jobs and pull in a good amount. Currently I’ve settled on a few different distributors...
First off, for the armor, I’ve found 850 Armor Works, seen *HERE* which is where I could get a finished suit and helmet, which could be measured to my body. I’m 5’10” but they can make it work. For the undersuit and boots and soft parts, I’ve found Imperial Boots, seen *HERE* which has a nice little combo deal with everything I’d need. Finally, the weapon. Obviously a good start would be the E-11D, seen *HERE* as a finished kit from Imperial Arms 3D. Obviously later down the road I could get the pistol or the long range blaster or turn my suit into a specialist. But right now, just the basics.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks! I appreciate it and look forward to joining the 501st some day soon!
