Great series on the best trooper armour bar none

So the parts I have that are a pure white left forearm and the hand plates and the high armour with ammo pack and the butt plate and kidney plate and I have a left shoulder bell and the biceps too

Thanks for watching!

Verry nice! Could you tell me how big the visible rivits and snaps on the outside of the Armor were? I need to upgrade my armor. In the 501st reference it says, all of them are 8mm but i think that looks a little small . Danke im voraus

Great information in your videos. Unfortunately, I found you too late, already received an "FX kit" from one of those sellers you don't recommend. (Ordered last September 2019) Oh well, Now my quest is to hopefully go through my suit and do some modifications to make it more "movie accurate". Your channel is awesome and I really love when you show the movie screenshots side by side, and explain what needs to be done to be closer to the films. I would love to see a video on how to take an "FX suit" and the modifications needed to make it more "screen accurate". Maybe you already did this, I'll keep checking out your other videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!

Thanks for the feedback. I have never gone down that root myself but I know you can make an FX kit work reasonanly well, probably even get it good enough to meet 501st entry level requirements. My best advice for you would be to visit the FISD forum at whitearmor.net and talk to people there. I remember one guy who goes by the name of Panda Trooper (he also has a KZbin channel), he did some amazing modification work to the actual parts of the FX (referred to more recently as "AM" because the mould changed hands). You don't need to go as far as changing the shape of the parts to get something half decent but there is no real limit. Good luck.

This is one of Panda Trooper's videos, showing what's possible with the FX/AM kit. Amazing work! He has a series of these videos so they'll no doubt be useful.

Hello Richie!, Thanks for the vid, is useful, btw have you seen the new molds of troopermaster?

[@RichieStormtrooper]

Sí, vi sus fotos en Facebook pero creo que él todavía no estaba satisfecho con las musleras. No estoy al tanto en realidad. De todos modos hay algunas piezas que hace TM que son para mi insuperables, pedí unas cuantas para este proyecto. Hablo de todo eso aquí: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqDQn3polrN_jLc

Do you have the measurements for where to place the buttons on the abdomen piece?

[@jclbhl]

Sorry more specific, The metal ones.

Hello there, I'm just making some alterations to my armour, I intend to use the loop and belt method to attach / hold my thigh armour, can you tell me how you've attached your loop inside your thigh armour? Thanks
