Tomcaxx Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hello, I m a 37 year old Star Wars fan and i am totally thrilled with the black Stormtroopers. So I was looking for a black armor... but it was not so easy. I had a old fx armor and i start to adapt it to my body. Not easy for an absolut beginner. The aim is the 501 membership with a good looking and accurately black armor... Link to comment
Tomcaxx Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 First i have changed the abdome and the shoulders. A lucky chance... Bought a accurately new helmet. Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Looking really good. Looks like you are doing all the right things to start. I feel you on the FX armor, it is what I have as well. Quite a bit of reshaping. Link to comment
Tomcaxx Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Next little Project the legs. The fx legs are to straight. They must be bionic or organic... The pics shows what i mean. Right tigh Cutting... ...and forming with hot air... Before and after. Better i think... The chest armor the same work inclusive returnedges... ...and forming the sides. "Forming": With my "hot-air-gun". Verry slowly and caraful. Little step by step... Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I love the reshaping. I have always been to scared to try it without a back-up laying around. The detail add on the bicep was well down as well. Great work! Link to comment

I hope i can soon be a proud part of you all and the special ops. ...the biceps with the "fingerprint" is for the left arm...of course.. The first troop and test was on Celebration Europe 2013.
