fibby Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hello all. Star Garrison North Texas Squad recruit here. Since I'm finishing up my Kylo build I decided it was time to start a Non-Face character. At 6ft 4in the Death Trooper is a perfect fit. For my TBDs I'm listing my current top choices for sourcing. Acquired Armor - Fiberglass Death Trooper Tall Kit - Plastic Arms Dealer Helmet - Anovos - $614.99 - Entertainment Earth - That's the total price. 90 Day Returns, No Tax, No Shipping, and No $12 Handling Fee. Ended up being over $100 less than ordering direct from Anovos. Boots - Dr. Martens Jered - $59.99 - Lucky score from Amazon Gloves - Endor Finders H&K G3 20 Round Magazines - $4.97 each - Cheaper Than Dirt Ordered DLT-19 - Fieldmarshal replica “Galaxy NEW ISSUE VERSION ” - Blaster Factory TBD Undersuit - Top pick - Sheev's Emporium E-11D Accessories 1 Link to comment

fibby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Helmet Solid like you could wear it into battle. Definitely gonna need fans as it has nowhere near as much airflow as my Kylo. Link to comment
fibby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Boots These are even more comfortable than my 26 year old 10 Eyelets. Most comfortable pair of Doc's I've ever owned. Even at size 14 which is one size larger than I normally wear they fit snug with no wiggle. Most likely gonna add a 1-2 inch lift seeing as even at 6ft 4in our resident Krennic is still taller than me. Link to comment
fibby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Specialist Ammo Magazines Got these H&K G3 magazines surplus from Cheaper Than Dirt. I'll be pulling out the springs and bonding the follower to the magazine to make them inoperable. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 All this is looking great. Ya, fans are a must in that bucket. Link to comment
DarkPhoenix[TX] Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hello there, I'm considering to buy the amor kit from ArmoryShop as well. Please forgive me if this question has already been asked or if it's inappropriate, but is that kit screen accurate / approved? Link to comment

Please forgive me if this question has already been asked or if it's inappropriate, but is that kit screen accurate / approved? There are some aspects that make it not as accurate as some of the other sellers, but nothing that would prevent it from passing basic approval. Link to comment

Please forgive me if this question has already been asked or if it's inappropriate, but is that kit screen accurate / approved? My understanding was that Denis started with Tom's files and incorporated changes based on analysis of statues and stunt costumes. Below is a reply Denis of ArmoryShop made to a post in the Death Troopers (build Group) Facebook page. "Guys, I'm lucky enough to work with Disney Msk, and they allowed me to take some pics and other things with DT statues and stunt-costumes. I know - how the real DT armor looks. This knowlege I have add into Tom's files and that's my armor kit." 1 Link to comment

You could make a fortune with them now!? They were nearly impossible to find then. I was afraid the listing was going to be bad. Amazon 3rd party sellers don't often instill much confidence. If they knew what they had they wouldn't have been $59.99. 1 Link to comment
fibby Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Armor Here's a potato picture of my unpacked Plastic Arms Dealer Tall Armor Kit. Unfortunately due to life it is still in this state. I somehow managed to give my dentist the 501st bug variant which has spurred me back into action. 1 Link to comment
fibby Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Gloves Can't say enough about the quality of Endor Finders gloves. I have a pair of Kylos from them as well and both share the same great attention to detail. 1 Link to comment
