Skip to 33:57 to see me suited up fully! Hey all! This was one of the first videos we ever made. We've learned a ton since then and have actually redone this suit up video in a much better way! Feel free to check out our more recent suit up videos for a better feel of what we do and how we do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXZoZuOgdeVaJI We get RIGHT to it and don't talk about the process as much. It's much less "annoying" lol! Sorry about that! Thanks so much for checking out what we do!

[@icrazyfish2661]

Believe it or not, the awkwardness of the suit does fit into cannon, since the Kaminoans were bad at designing suits for humans, and they ended up being very uncomfortable. Although that really only applies to the first generation clone armor, I assume that the gen 2 would still be uncomfortable.

[@yankeeforcestudios5431]

Icrazyfish actually, I heard that it was very comfortable, mostly due to the black body suit.

[@icrazyfish2661]

@@yankeeforcestudios5431 Oh yeah, forgot about that. The design still got screwed up when the empire took over. "I can't see a thing in this helmet" and the classic... *"Thunk"*

[@yankeeforcestudios5431]

Icrazyfish The canon reasoning behind that is that every stormtrooper’s armor is coded/connected to their serial number, which gives them access to a wide array of vision modes/enhanced vision. This was to protect the armor and its software from robbers and whatnot. When the armor doesn’t link up with the trooper, are you’re left with is a small eyehole which is why Luke said that. As for the “thunk”, let’s just assume that guy wasn’t the smartest stormtrooper.

[@kevinneely7224]

rex's armor was a mix of gen 1 and 2. the upper body was specifically gen 1

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

@@yankeeforcestudios5431 I like to think he grabbed the wrong helmet, resulting in also haveing limited vision.

Thank you SO much for this seriously, this is such a godsend. I'm sure I'd never have ever thought about like 98% of these tips and tricks on my own, y'all are amazing. Cosplay is such a scary thing for me, but watching you suit up slowly with advice really helped ease a lot of that anxiety. It's so easy for me to see excellent cosplayers such as yourselves and feel intimidated or hopeless like I'll never achieve that, but y'all are so uplifting and it means a lot. Thank you for doing what you do.

Plastic works for the look but I would say study historical armor harnessing and actually mind your proportions. That would resolve many of the mobility issues as well as issues with proposition of the armor. You are not a clone so one size doesn't fit all.

Kev just sent my armor, it'll be here in a week - and i am SO pumped to finally start my first build. I always look for videos and tips on how people build this armor cause i don't wanna mess mine up, but this kinda video gives me more confidence that i can do it! The Velcro, the Bondo, and the glue tips are huge and seeing how you attached pieces for longevity, and to avoid cracks is important so i know ahead of time, before i start to assemble my armor pieces. Def gonna give this video another once over when i'm actually building this kit next week. Still waiting for a step-by-step guide, but this will do for now.

I am so glad you made this episode, that you hinted at during the Kevin one. I am building a realistic clone, and it is always super helpful to see how other people work around the armor (and cut corners) and talk about what didn't work. Let's see the shore trooper armor up, and even another clone, as everybody does it slightly differently, and different body types have different armor fit issues. Great episode!
