Behind the Mask #3: How to put on Stormtrooper Armour

[@royalsfan7786]

28:11 I like T-K butts and I cannot lie You other rebels can’t deny When a stormie with an itty bitty waist Shakes an O2 canister in your face You get stunned

[@ideamissing]

thank you for posting this. I just applied to join my local 501st garrison and your video gave me a lot of good information

[@L1LegoAnimations]

"...a lot of polish has gone into this over the years, so now my vision's even blurrier than it was the day I got it." So it's screen accurate in function, nice! As for the "O2 canister," all I can tell you is that it was originally intended to hold the Stormtrooper's lightsaber as the original concept of them was to be more like knights, but by the time they scrapped that idea the costumes were already made so it stuck.

[@FrancisXLord]

Been looking at the prices of this costume, you're looking £1,000 for a decent set. That means I'm only about £1,000 short of ever getting one. It is definitely the best costume in Star Wars in my opinion. I did once have a Darth Vader helmet which I gave away to an American friend who was a Star Wars nut, even more than I am. He made the full costume with it then wore it to the Ziegfeld in New York when they brought out the special edition of A New Hope. He ended up making it into the New York Times the next day for standing at the front of a 1300 seat auditorium and starting a wave. Story of my life, someone else always has the fun.

[@cringystingy8025]

nice

[@FullFrontalNerdity]

I love how you have Tom Baker's scarf around the David Tennant standup.

[@therontracy571]

Love your enthusiasm and love for Star wars , I thank you for inspiring me to want a armor set myself

[@ross-uw2ig]

Cool. Nice to see an updated version of your old video. Stormtroopers are awesome.

[@MarcelStevahn]

So fun! I will someday have my own armor and will refer to this in putting it together. Happy trooping!

[@Miratesus]

Love your haircut! reminds me of the original trilogy haircuts! very fitting!

[@YoChocoTube]

A Stormtrooper (TK) with pauldron is called a Heavy Trooper (also TK). Armor is like normal TK armor, just without a holster or the Thermal Detonator (A.K.A. O2 canister) and the armor is lightly scuffed (battle worn), but not heavily weathered like a Sandtrooper (TD) - you are canon on that!!! :) Backpack is optional. Sandtroopers don't want to hear that, but that's how it is - as shown in part IV on the death star... :)

[@Chaiitorii]

28:11 Didn't expect that dance.

Awesome tutorial love all you do, piece from Canadian Garrison

[@buffyscave9329]

Awesome video! Must of taken Luke and Han a long time to change lol, Great costume, good luck with your future projects and shows!

[@ChromeDove]

You are just adorably hysterical! I enjoyed your first video but this one was brilliant because of the narrative! I'm a fan! :)

[@EgefalikaNekros]

in order for the lances not to fog there are special membrane that is used on respirators... you should reinforce the whole armour with fiberglas and resin anf then add sponge foam in order to make more durable and it will actualy make it more wearable as it will me more stiff on your body and wont wiggle on you if some parts are still too big grind the outline a bit and finaly add a strap between the two armparst in orter to secure the lower hand part

[@adrianrosenlund-hudson8789]

I've watched several of your videos, now. Subscribed today. As a cartoon orangutan once said, I wanna be like you. Coolest Stormtrooper on KZbin 😎👍

[@wut7179]

Hello, I have a question, I am going to buy a high impact polysterene (HIPS) armor and I want to know what kind of glue I can use to avoid damaging the plastic and if I can also drill the armor with a small bit. Excuse my English regards!!

[@PropCollector71]

Really enjoyed this video. I first saw anh when it came out at the cinema (I was 6 years old) lol Always wanted armour but never have and love watching vids like this. Anyway love your enthusiasm and love of SW..keep it up :)

[@travislittle9778]

any idea where I can get lenses ace because I have a Shepperton that I'm going you start work on in 2016 and the stunt helmet as you know just has the green visor.

[@Chebab-Chebab]

Which company makes the better armour: Shepperton studios or Jedi-robe? Or, is there a better company?

[@MetalMatt2510]

i can't turn my head on mine, keep hitting the should straps :/

[@johnoldman7598]

Superb video! Female troopers rock! Thanks for showing us your awesome armor! 😉

[@munderpool]

I enjoyed your video as well as your enthusiasm. May the Empire strike back!

[@emergencynurse02]

I often wondered about these....Thanx for the video! Love the charity work you guys do!

[@jimzimbicki4000]

I can’t get enough of this content ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@tachikoma747]

You're so lucky having those shin pieces velcroed on in the back. The 41st scout clone (Kashyyyk) kit I'm building has to be seamless and slid up the leg. I've been sanding and using epoxy all day....

[@dragon_gwynn3845]

where can I get a stormtrooper costume that can anyone tell me?

[@poscidionmadalorian6271]

hey Anovos is selling a storm trooper kit that you build yourself so you can cut it to your size as you put it together and have it fit you the way you want

[@oneplumpboi5317]

+Poscidion Madalorian although anovos creates them, it's up for preorder..but to me..shepperton seems better.

[@poscidionmadalorian6271]

yea im not gonna buy a shep

[@oneplumpboi5317]

not only that, anovos doesn't ship to like 1/3 of the star wars fans :P so you're pretty screwed if your in those places...i had to go order a few kits...3 helmet kits...xD, planning to have them done by the star wars battlefront launch

[@poscidionmadalorian6271]

Nice, I wish you luck. I will not receive my kit until late November

[@them.spotted.ponies2373]

Hey Ace i am looking to get the most screen accurate most perfect stormtrooper suit there is do you have a preference i need one for an international horse competition for my costume class in witch my horse will be an AtAt and i will be a trooper “driver” thanks!

[@them.spotted.ponies2373]

+~*Them.Spotted.Ponies*~ oh sorry i wanted to mention i am tall because i have noticed your a bit shorter so you can have problems with your suit.

[@stargaming601]

Why didnt you take the Helmet on

[@liquidocelot5976]

What would happen to this set when you get the new one

[@peterhowe6450]

What is that music? I like it.

[@JohnnyCarvin]

Love this video! Great job! Keep up the great work making videos and all your cosplay endeavors!

[@generalgrievous2496]

Can you do a death trooper or a shadow trooper cosplay? I think you would look cool, also love the videos!

[@DigiMega351]

You actually do look pretty at that stage you mentioned.

[@jjcoury0297]

Are those push fasteners plastic or metal?

[@simonfarrell6585]

aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper? nice armour, helmet looks amazing! well done

[@Atomicus_]

Is it really that hot inside the armor?

[@YoChocoTube]

Yes it is; that's why a lot of cosplayers put fans in their buckets - like those small ones used in computers.

[@edokdorph9022]

when you got scuffs just say it is battle damage

[@runawayushould]

What are the other autographs?

[@subotica1974]

got to get me some pink socks for my Stormtrooper transformation, thank you Ace

[@chriscos123]

Is it odd that i find this way hotter than stripping? No? Great.

[@oneplumpboi5317]

+chriscos123 I like the way you think

[@winsys3210]

It's the exact opposite of stripping; Adding another layer of clothing or something similar over the clothes you're already wearing

[@mikec1554]

That's absurd.

[@blacksatin73]

Al Dupont make it to where there is a Velcro at your croch so you can open that and a click on button where your croch connects to you butt so you can unhook that

[@scudzilla7893]

How tall are you? I'm 5'3", and I've always wanted to be a Stormtrooper, but I worry about being too short.

[@theace1602]

arent you the new designer for the first live action clone trooper armor used in the new shows?

[@AceCosplay]

Not the designer, thats someone over at Disney/Lucasfilm. Im part of the workshop that made them

Hey Ace help me out Miss Trooper :) I am about to hit the buy button on Sds the mega combo , An buy shoes an better gloves from the Storm_trooper costumes in UK? I saw there range looked ok but its not Sds , What do you think ? I can afford the Sds no worries ;) Help PLZ respond quick

[@Raniz88]

Why are not strong magnets an option ?

[@sean3578]

I believe red stands for either chief, or sergeant, stills look really fucking good!

[@aridelorbe6318]

Where can you get one

[@YoChocoTube]

Wasn't it Brian Muir (the mold guy)? The holes in the front is called a frown - the grey color of the 'teeth' (bars) made me think it's a New Hope bucket; in tesb and rotj they were black. You can get frown mesh to make it harder to see through. Living in the UK you could see if Rob and Simon from RS Propmasters are willing to give you some advise or even a hand with you future armor; they are good sports that way - ánd they build canon armor (with Brian Muir's approval). Anyway, you have experience as a builder so I don't think you'll have any problem putting together your new armor. Fun vid! Very nice buttocks!! :) Cheers!

[@kevingreenfield8285]

Do u have a size 12 boots

[@kevingreenfield9204]

Happy Christmas and a happy new year to you.your storm trooper friend Kevin Greenfield

[@aceofspades2868]

Your right about the sand trooper thing just look at Starwars battlefront the rocket trooper isn't a sandy trooper and they have the poldren

[@amadeus6418]

is that 501st aproved?

Cant wait to build my own set of imperial armor!

[@nikegameplay334]

[@sirbrad4]

Was the Stormtrooper tired? Lol. Probably is after all those years of use Lol.

[@centurion0-199]

The real question is.... Where can to get that

[@sirbrad4]

You know you are doing cosplay correctly when all your senses have been dulled by 90%.

[@mordenstocks4728]

How muck was it

[@justicecurry3658]

Why do the empire/first order spend $ on armor when troops die in 1 hit.

[@roddy1813]

because the stormtroopers are not made to be good. they're supposed to overwhelm the enemy

[@devinagz9849]

I found this to be pretty helpful, thanks

[@bensherman2339]

guys if you are interested in the costume but want it cheap, then make your own, it takes time but it's quite easy if your patient.

How much would this armour cost?

[@heatherhorne8418]

about 2000 dollars (yes all those 0s)

what a waste of money
