All good points. I learned that when building my Vader with measurements still causing issues even with correct numbers. When I measured my DT, I added 2cm to all measurements. Not worried about anything that is slightly too large but too small will be a headache.

Decided to build a new kit to give me an option to suit up when an event already has a Vader so here goes with my intended build. Helmet - Armory Shop Props. Ordered finished build waiting for shipment. Armor - Armory Shop Props. Ordered finished build Spec Two with pauldron and heavy harness with mags/grenades. Ordered and waiting shipment. Undersuit - Armory Shop Props. Ordered and waiting shipment. Gloves - Endors Finders. Received. Boots - Imperial Boots (Killer). Received. E-11D Blaster Rifle - Imperial Arms. Ordered finished build waiting shipment. Lower Harness - Ukswrath. Ordered and waiting shipment. Additional strapping needs addressed when receiving full build. DT chat system - Ukswrath. Received. Fan system. Already have a complete set ready for install. 5v x 5 high cfm, 3 directional on a 10k mah pack and speed control. May not need all but will use as many as I can considering Arizona heat. Everything listed has been paid and ordered. Once received then will begin assembly and make corrections as needed. My Vader is full fiberglas and decided to go with a much lighter DT build for more mobility and less strain during hot Arizona troops. Will post pics as I progress…..should be fun ?

Thank you all for the feedback. Once I get my harness, I will start looking at additional materials. I appreciate the insight on other DT builds…….pretty much the same as when I built my Vader……lots and lots of research. I already received my boots from Imperial Boots, gloves from Endors Finders and DT chat system from Ukswrath (easy stuff). I decided to go with Armory Shop Props for the armor and undersuit and Imperial Arms for the e-11d. I will start a build thread and continue to research it. Thank you again for the info.

Awesome info, thank you very much.

Hello everyone, New to this forum and am beginning a TX (Death Trooper) build. Can anyone kindly point me in a direction to purchase a strapping kit please? I have seen a few on Etsy but was curious to ask first before buying something I may, or may not, need. I already have an approved ROTS Vader and decided to build a second kit to attend events if another person already signed up as Vader and the DT looks like an awesome build. Thanks in advance ?
