Death Trooper Kit

[Church113]

Hey guys, I’m looking to become a member of the Legion and would like to do it as a Death Trooper. I’ve never done an armor build before so I’m kinda new to all this. I’ve tried looking for kits online but I’m not having much luck and the ones that I have found look pretty cheesy. I was wondering if someone could assist me in finding a suitable kit so I can get started on this build.

I have had Jim Tripon's kit for about two years. I love it. He has a build thread in this section.

Jim's kit looks pretty good.  I spoken with him in the past, very nice guy.  Another option for a fiberglass kit is Plastic Arms Dealer (website, etsy, or Andrew McClary on FB).  Armory Shop has a 3D printed kit that they will print to a custom size (facebook or Etsy).  KB Props (facebook) has a ABS kit as does 850 Armor Works (etsy, website, and FB).  I'm sure there are others, I just can't think of them right now. 

I went with an ABS kit - and after working with it, I think I would recommend a fiberglass kit - the ABS kits just look too soft for the sharp lines seen on the deathtrooper armor, IMO.

Good luck!

I would be glad to help you out.  We carry the armor and most of the hard parts needed.  Best way to reach me is via Facebook messenger.

Is fiberglass easier to work with than ABS or are they about the same? Also do any of those providers include the helmet with the kit?

Also does height factor into my ability to be a death trooper? I know in the movie the shortest is well over 6 feet tall. But I wasn’t sure with me being a shorter guy it would make it harder for me to get armor that fits right.

Is a few Approved DT's that are "vertically challenged?"    Its not an issue if its the kit YOU want to rock!

Hell yeah! Anything can be made to work out!
