The main problem will be the narrow waist circumference and the knee joints at the back. I think the hands will be doable The side closure of the breastplate will be difficult to reproduce in some cases on the stomach. What do you think ? 100% will be very difficult. Since most of the joints are hollow and you can see through them, I work with mirror foil here

Hello everyone What about the Hot Toys figure of the Dark Trooper, I compared it with the film pictures and I have to say it is very good. I measured this figure and completely converted it to size. I then built a suit of armor out of cardboard to test whether it could be worn by a human. Then I built all the deep-drawn molds. I've spent 2 years on this now. Then I developed the joints, which are fixed and movable in two levels and visually closed at the front and back. We would have to discuss whether this is ultimately enough. The only question I now have is whether it has to be 100% accurate or to what extent deviations are permissible. greating Andreas

Hallo Ja wir sind dabei, wie gesagt wir haben ein komplettes Kostüm für das Tiefziehverfahren fertig und bauen ihn jetzt gerade zusammen. Wir dann Fotos machen und diese dann hier auf der Seite Gruss Andreas Funk

Hallo oder wurde das bestreben hier clrs zu erwirken schon auf eis gelegt? was ich persönlich sehr schade finden würde, da ich das Kostüm mega geil finde und es wirklich tragbar ist. Wir haben einige lösungen der Gelenke gefunden damit es dem Film sehr nahe kommt. Auf jedenfall besser als bei dem ausgestelltem Kostüm von Disney. Gruss Andreas

It's all Vakuumformed and the details are RESIN ( there are in the moment not 100 % accorded ) greatings Andreas

Hello Here the next tests from my Vakuum forming https://imgur.com/mOmFDQt https://imgur.com/87cArAz

Hello Jo 5 boxes are made of plastic (Beskar) and 3 bags are made of leather I deep-drawn the shoes and screwed them to my boots so that they could move. We are 4 men who want to have a Darktrooper and since it is 1.90 tall, I designed shoes for all of them so that the size later fits The shoes are based on Disney's stunt suit and were also exhibited as such.

Thanks Your work looks good too. Is your armor entirely EVA or 3D printed? I don't think EVA is allowed for armor construction on the 501 st. So I measured a Hot Toys 1:6 figure and all the parts are 99% the same as on this figure. Finally I will deep draw all the parts and build them up on doll and then make them wearable for a human.

Hallo Here some Photos from my remaining molds https://imgur.com/nOiWdm2 https://imgur.com/QNfDqQY https://imgur.com/U2BVHpm https://imgur.com/dHCsrW0 https://imgur.com/IQyS0qb The next few days I will deep draw all parts, then I will send all parts as a photo again Imperial greetings from Germany

Wonderful It's progressing tomorrow I'll also send new pictures The remaining molds for deep drawing have been built and are now being fine-tuned I've already started my construction report, I just have to see it's better to create it as a PDF because it already contains many photos and reports But Dark Troopers we are on a very good way and I am sure that we will get approval Imperial greetings from Germany
