Hi everyone,
I’ve been a member and GML of the 501st FanWars Garrison Belgium for many years now (Darth Vader and Kylo Ren costumes), but I had never worn a full suit of armor until now !
I’ve decided to build a Death Trooper that I've wanted to do for a long time !
I recently got myself a BambuLab P1S printer, and so I took on the challenge of printing the full armor myself.
A new adventure begins, and I’m already feeling a thrill I hadn’t felt in years.
I’ve been working on the armor since late March, and I finally decided to share my progress here.
=========================
Progress by Parts
=========================
Helmet
Files from MCM Design
I made great progress this weekend. Still missing :
The lenses (Bulbed Lens from OPLE Props, ordered early May, shipped on June 13, still waiting, it’s dragging a bit 😬)
Ordering a rubber edge
All electronics : LEDs, fans, padding, etc
Armor
Files from MCM Design
Everything has been printed. Progress so far :
Forearms, biceps and shoulder bells: painted but not weathered yet
Currently working on the upper chest section (sanding, sanding and sanding)
Shins and thighs will wait until the undersuit arrives, it's already tight with jeans on !
Belt
I found the main belt material locally and ordered all the accessories from A&J Projects (awaiting delivery).
Soft Parts
Gloves received from Endor Finder
Boots : I had purchased Talibs back when Rogue One came out, just in case, they’ve been waiting ever since !
Undersuit ordered from Jim Tripon (awaiting delivery)
Blasters
SR-14R ordered from A&J Projects (awaiting delivery)
E-11D : printed from MCM files, fully assembled and base coat applied. Final painting still to come.
I look forward to sharing my future progress with you !
