Buying Star Wars Armor: The Basics!

[@brandonbaker7361]

Seeing the fun and passion of folks like you makes me wish I'd gotten into the costume scene myself.

[@sunflowerstardust]

It’s never too late! 🙂

[@caseroj6020]

I have to say your Imperial HR short videos are hilarious! Google puts them on my stream regularly and I always get a kick out of them! 🙂

[@sunflowerstardust]

Ahh thank you for taking a moment to say that!! 🥰

[@KoRntech]

Thank you this gives me a much better idea on where to start, I've met some of the 501st at the USAF Museum and Cleveland IX, amazing details and brought a smile to my son. Dolores is an absolute joy.

[@sunflowerstardust]

Awesome!! Your 501st should be able to help field questions, but feel free to reach out here, too.

[@TC-do1wx]

i am so in love with Delores ffrom HR

[@SparrowHawk183]

Great video! I built a Biker Scout helmet kit back in 2008 (in high-school lol), made by KropSerkel, and it was so much fun! The Pathfinders forums were super helpful. Wish I'd had your videos to keep me inspired during all the trimming! 😆

[@bretthoffman2128]

Can’t Wait to See YOUR Next Star Wars Costume

[@asnomking7042]

Me and my daughter love your videos

[@sunflowerstardust]

That's awesome!! Glad you guys can enjoy them together!

[@TheVeryLastHippy]

Officer Dolores, this was exceptional. Have a raise.

[@WorldPeace21]

Awwwwwwwwwwww it's nice to see that you are so passionate about this. I enjoyed this video. You should make more. I have no intention of making my own costume but I enjoy seeing people who are passionate about things. Keep up the good work.

[@captlazer5509]

Everything is better with Star Wars Stormtroopers

[@chefhawk]

Great video, having built many many stormtrooper helmets including a biker scout, it's not easy. But the feeling of doing yourself is most rewarding. Back in the day there was a limited a set of suppliers way before 3d printing. Now there is a good handful. I would always go for a maker that has provenance back to original piece if possible. In the uk there is Rs props and C.F.O (cast from original). cheers

[@shaneburry]

Thank you so much for the laughter and info! I’ve always been cosplay-curious and this definitely shed some light upon the mystery. I knew it would be a major project to create a quality costume, so the tips and resources provided in this video gave me hope that MAYBE someday I can do it too! 💙

[@gerardofollano8417]

Thanks for sharing! Great looking stormtrooper helmet.

[@jeffreyhamilton7061]

The Imperial HR videos are The Best!

[@rksnj6797]

Thank you for sharing your experience and valuable tips! Also, Thank you Dolores for making the Empire an efficient workplace!

[@-tobias-]

Your videos are awesome. I found your channel two days ago and i love how passionate you are.

[@EddieA907]

Young lady you are awesome! Keep up the great work. Love Dolores!

[@TomSmith-dq9gp]

Thanks for the Information Dolores

[@charleswinthrop5929]

Great video trooper!! I remember all the fun I had putting my armor together! As far as extras go the gang at Studio Creations are the BEST!

[@gettingpolitical]

Ma'am I do believe your not wearing your imperial issued HR uniform, that's a citation.

[@sunflowerstardust]

😂 I’m allowed to be me sometimes! I think, anyway… probably should’ve checked with HR.

[@rodpope7838]

Absolutely love your work! The force is strong with you!

[@sunflowerstardust]

Thanks for taking a moment to say so, Rod!! Appreciate you!

[@MissFanCulture]

Love your videos!

[@sunflowerstardust]

Thank you Amanda, so glad you enjoy them!!

[@MegaFortinbras]

I especially like the Imperial HR person. I used to know an HR person who might have been the model for her.

[@danogh2227]

Thanks for the information :)

[@sunflowerstardust]

You’re welcome!

[@btipton6899]

I love your posts. First saw ANH in '77 as an 8 year old lad.

[@josewilliams2504]

Thank you for all you hard work, your incredible, creative and wonderful humour. You are a special soul, and so gorgeous on top of all that. Larissa is one of my favourite names. Thanks again.

[@samantony7039]

Love your videos! I took my ages to figure out that you were Dolores from HR.😂😂😂

[@KageAkarui]

If you do character cosplays then you should do a Mara Jade cosplay.

[@devils.advocate2354]

Aluminum foil, bubble gum, duct tape, zip ties, and baling twine... secrets to some of the best costumes🤣 you should be proud of your work. ✊ to your time and effort. Funny funny lady. Side note: do you know how duct tape and the force are similar?? There’s a dark side and a light side and it binds the universe together😂💜

[@sirjames19]

Made mando armor…. It’s pretty much the same process. Great videos! I hope Dolores doesn’t cite you for your armor lol your costume looks great. I hope you add a fan in the bucket so you don’t overheat.

[@studentchen87]

Ah, how appropriate it is for the HR to go over the dress code with new hires :)

[@just_taccat]

Greetings from Carolina Garrison. First through the door!

[@clementrenaud4260]

I absolutely want to built Rex's armor !

[@kelvington4182]

I loved that you mentioned Anovos, I bought two of their Vader's one from them and one from Disney, they were great. But Anovos is deader than Elvis now.

[@shanenway3684]

I like your bike scout armor

[@nathanoutdoors7981]

Cool 😎

[@talaferrosingleton6965]

Thank you for the Help.

[@tn8584]

Brilliant. Thank you

[@bretthoffman2128]

Love YOUR VIDEOS.

[@neilcook4686]

Cheers 😊

[@ataglance556]

Dolores you are amazing and hi from Canada 🙂

[@raymondblacketer9104]

Love your videos and this video. I'm intrigued by the quick clip of dipping the armor in boiling water. Making a return edge?

[@raymondblacketer9104]

I also got my armor from Authentic Props in Montreal! Still trimming it down for my "a little short for a stormtrooper" stature.

[@UnicornGamingRX03]

If you have a damaged Storm trooper armour, you could convert it into to a night trooper.

[@itowmyhome797]

thank you

[@Mefungpoo]

The best 👍

[@WorldWarWoods]

Awesome video! If you have the time you should make more videos like these

[@TBL_stevennelson]

I feel like I would never finish it. I 3d printed a couple helmets and No I never finished them. Maybe it's much easier going this route but I don't trust myself to follow through. Great Video Maybe I'll try watching one of your shorts I don't normally watch them for any youtuber. I don't know how people make money without the ads on them.

[@frankharr9466]

Good.

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Good to know

[@MyTv-]

The helmets seems to creek a lot, would drive me mad. Looks cool though!:)

[@JetSetDiva]

Love your videos! Where can I find a good Empire technician uniform?

[@diogoforesticastro9752]

What did you think of Andor? From what I know you are a big fan of Rogue One like me, and I think you would really like that if you liked Rogue One.

[@sunflowerstardust]

Trying to withhold judgment until the end, but so far, I’m really enjoying it!!

[@SprainedPhil2116]

If you love diy and custom stuff buy a 3D printer I have about 10 Mando helmets and a full stormtrooper suit and a iron man suit 3D printing is a awesome skill to have you can make anything and it’s cheap! Goodluck to everyone

[@nerdgeekcosplay909]

Can you recommend a vendor for mandalorian armor ? I’m in 5’1 - 5’3 height range so I’m very small and well I can’t seem to find someone who sells ‘ short trooper ‘ armor

[@sunflowerstardust]

Ohh that’s a good question. For custom mandos, I know most make theirs out of Sinatra (type of plastic). You can find patterns on the Mandalorian Mercs forum. If you want something specific like Din Djarin or Bo Katan, custom 3D printed may be your best bet, where they can size it down for you. I don’t know any vendors for that unfortunately, but the Mercs will have those resources!

[@thejoker9201]

I saw the first Star wars Movie when I was about 7yrs old all during the 80s the 90s and even into the 2000s I have never met any girls or women that had anything but maybe a passing interest in Star wars they may have liked princess Leia. Or in the 80s had a crush on Harrison Ford. But nothing like today all the girls and women I knew just weren't into these type of thing's. Nothing wrong with it just different times I guess

[@ThePrintKid1]

Have you thought about going into 3d printing yourself? You can get a 3d printer for sub 200usd these days and make whole suits of armour for less than that. I personally recommend the ender 3 and the cr-10 both from creatility. Also i love your content.

[@timham450]

How about RS prop master are they a good opition for stormtrooper armor?

[@Bonzulac]

Me, personally, I thought this was a very informative video.

[@sunflowerstardust]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful.

[@ElmoUnk1953]

Have you cleared this with Dolores? 😁😁😁

[@BeardedBrickHead]

Do you have any recommendations on Jedi Costume pieces? I am in need of some boots, pants and a belt to complete my costume

[@fairozcp863]

Thanks!

[@jdavison8551]

Never mind the “Stormtrooper” items, where do you buy the “beautiful female face” masks?

[@TheJoeSwanon]

Oh my god she’s gorgeous

[@lord-of-the-unfinished-project]

Pls don't stop the hr.

[@sunflowerstardust]

I won’t! 🤩

[@salvi92]

Queen 💜🙏🏽

[@insertprofilenamehere6505]

Yeah 501st baby is da best you know other than it having to be perfect

[@sunflowerstardust]

It can be a blast! But joining is absolutely not a requirement to enjoy Star Wars armor and costuming. The standards are good for uniformity across all garrisons all over the world. Sometimes the standards aren’t communicated in the kindest way, and that can be a bummer.

[@insertprofilenamehere6505]

It's just when you do create armor and do join them there always like something that you need to fix or something like that it's just sometimes a pain

[@RL-DarkSpark]

They doin first order Stormie cosplayers dirty doe If you look for links to buy the armor the page is empty I'm still saving up to buy armor I found on a website that was recommended to me here Got the black Series helmet because it's cheaper and looks way better than some fan mades I saw

[@julimcbrayer5302]

💖💖

[@joeblough4605]

Hi Deloris, I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT !! Except the Emperor, nobody tells the Emperor...or Santa, he just wouldn't understand. -Buddy.

[@TC-do1wx]

[@brickwiregaming6838]

Why is it so expensive

[@goatelope7539]

Looking back... hr will become far more distracting lol

[@agioezio8338]

[@wolfy4383]

[@nonayerbidnet6974]

Aren't you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?---Princess Leia

[@geanozz8940]
