What Does Stormtrooper Armor from RS Prop Masters Look Like on a Person?

[@MarctheMagicman68]

Just wanted to say a massive thank you. After watching your unboxing video on here and taking note of the advice you gave, I ordered my armour from RS. I've now just been cleared, and am incredibly proud to say, that I have been accepted into the 501st UK Garrison. Many many thanks.

[@icestormtk445]

+Marc Jacobs - Thanks, Marc! You are incredibly generous with your words. I'm so excited for you! Welcome to the 501st! I can't wait until you have your first troop. The joy you will bring to so many kids and their parents will overwhelm you. Our motto is "Troopers helping troopers," so I'm happy that I was able to help you in some small way. For the Empire!

[@MarctheMagicman68]

IceStorm TK First troop done. Was my induction on Sunday at London MCM Comic Con. Loved every second of it and didn't want the day to end. Great bunch of people and seeing the smiles on the public's faces was just awesome. Can't wait for the next one.

Yeah, they sure do a great job making the armour fitting perfectly! I didn't even remotely though that the armour fits so good right out of the box.

[@TheOkieLife]

You should upload those videos about the snaps and snugging up the shoulder bells. 😎 If you still even have the footage. Haha.

[@monroe7403]

I'd love to know more about your mic setup and hear how it sounds.

[@Turks6868]

Thank you for making these videos about the RS Props suit. I've been on the fence on what suit to go with and have considered diving in to build my own from one of the Anovos kits but this set looks great and from the sounds of it is durable. I think my decision has been made. Thanks again!

[@mogmuffmunch]

oh man that looks so good! finally orderd mine and it will be with me mid april. can't wait to fill my dream of being in the 501st. Thanks for the video.

[@jhn146A]

Man, you look like you are about to go on a SW movie set. Flawless appearance. Great point about the shoulder bells. Your's look spot on.

[@icestormtk445]

Tony Lynam - Thanks so much! There's nothing like the great feeling of wearing accurate armor. Let me know if I can help you further.

[@SINCHIROCA07]

7 years later. I’m still trooping with my RS TK. It’s awesome. I need to adjust my shoulders because I started weightlifting and the shoulders don’t fit anymore 😂. I’ll be ordering shoulder and arms from RS soon 😊

[@danielcullen6412]

Hey, I hope to get a stormtrooper suit some day, so your videos have been helpful! Very instructive and the different camera angles help a lot

[@viewoptic]

Hello, are you able to upload the thigh resizing video and shoulder strap adjustment video? It would be truly appreciated!

[@manuelazcorracabrera]

Make more videos please!

[@owencorrigan4699]

What happened to the sound system video you planned on making?

[@juncajfilms4007]

Can you show us how to adjust the thighs

[@SINCHIROCA07]

I just ordered mine today. Im hoping I don't have to make many adjustments. Im 5'9'' (maybe 5'10'' with tennis shoes) and 150 lbs (so kinda skinny, small shoulders etc, the product of having to make weight for boxing LOL). I know you said you are 5'10 but would you say you are medium built? They haven't even sent me the size chart yet. I was considering going to a seamstress in an effort to get good measurements. kinda nervous, this stuff was not cheap. Any advise would help. thanks for the tips

[@niklassvensson8383]

Where is the changes video? Thx for this video I enjoyed it

[@Ragnarok6664]

I’m 6.3 wonder if that will be an issue, have been looking at RS props Snowtrooper & TIE pilot kit, looks excellent

[@icestormtk445]

Hey, brother! It will still fit you, but the only issue you may have is that the black undersuit will show a little bit more at your knees and elbows. The standard height of a stormtrooper is between 5'9" and 6'2", but I've seen plenty of people on 501st troops that were shorter or taller. At 6'3" you could also be an amazing Death Trooper from Rogue One or a Darth Vader who wouldn't have to use lifts in their shoes. Best of luck to you.

[@Ragnarok6664]

@@icestormtk445 cheers 👍🏻🫡

[@theworldaccordingtojim.5408]

question where did you get your helmet fan and the voice box?

[@Anakin-Skywalker.]

Hi i want to ask u a question so my question is why do u put on the helmet sideways???

[@icestormtk445]

- Great question! The helmet was originally made from a hand-sculpted clay mold, and even though it looks symmetrical when you see someone wearing it, it is VERY asymmetrical. Many call it "wonky" shaped. The opening is wider from side to side than it is front to back. Because most people's head is longer from the tip of the nose to the back of our head, we have to start with the helmet sideways, and then twist it forward once our nose is through. :-)

[@Willij92]

How much space is there from the tip of your nose to the helmet?

[@icestormtk445]

:-) At least 2cm. Unless your name is Pinocchio and you tell a lot of lies, there is plenty of room for every nose type.

[@viewoptic]

Have you observed any yellowing of the ABS armor to date since you've purchased it?

[@icestormtk445]

No yellowing, and I've had it a year and a half. For preventative measures, about every two or three troops, after I polish with Novus 1-2-3 or Meguiar's PlastX, I finish off with Blue Magic Headlight Lens Sealer. This protects your armor from UV Rays and prevents yellowing (or so it says!). So far, so good.

[@RiverWhole-yk6qd]

Im 6"4 and around 210lbs(not fat) do ye reckon i could get one that would fit or should i go with scout trooper😅

[@icestormtk445]

The nice thing about the Stormtrooper armor is that it fits most body heights above 5'9". The standard height of a Stormtrooper is between 5'9" and 6'2", but 6'4" would still work, the gaps between armor parts, however, would show more of your black undersuit than most. But that's not a deal breaker. If this armor is your dream armor, you can still do it. At 6'4", you would also make an amazing Death Trooper (the black armored ones from Rogue One the movie). Those are specifically made for individuals who are more on the tall side of the dark side. The Scout Trooper that you mentioned would also work great because there are no hard lower torso or thigh pieces of armor that would cause sizing challenges. In the end, the Stormtroopers in the Original Trilogy varied widely in height (you can always catch a glimpse of the tall one who bonks his head on the doorway because he's too tall), so invest in the armor that you are the most passionate about, and have fun making people smile and get their photo memories with you. Hope this is helpful!

[@RiverWhole-yk6qd]

@@icestormtk445 thanks so much for the details it helps clarify alot, I'll get the money together and hopefully have one soon👍

[@WizardBalls29]

nice was that helmet ABS or PVC ?

[@icestormtk445]

I went with all ABS for both the helmet and armor. Thanks!

[@jhn146A]

You said you were 5'10", how much do you weigh?

[@icestormtk445]

Tony Lynam - I'm 178 lbs.

[@massgator1]

I ordered a $800.00 stormtrooper costume from my fathers checking account and the website that I ordered it from told me it would not fit me and they would not ship it or refund my fathers money my father lost $800.00 because I wanted a stormtrooper costume so much.

[@icestormtk445]

+massgator1 - This is one of the main reasons why you should only purchase from a reputable company like RS Prop Masters. I'm sorry you lost your money. For a list of reputable armor makers, join the FISD at www.Whitearmor.net and read the names of armor makers you can trust.

[@jamesmaksweefeng7096]

is rs prop masters Re cast?

[@icestormtk445]

+James Mak - Great question. The answer is technically "no." They had to do quite a bit of work with the original screen-used armor to make their vacuum forming bucks accurate and useable. A great place to see all the technical discussions on recasters is: www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/50-recast-discussion/

[@fammartinez1060]

Can it fit on kids

[@icestormtk445]

This armor is made for people between 5’9” and 6’2”. There are some makers who have made smaller sizes for kids. You might check out Walt’s Trooper Factory on Facebook and send him a personal message. I know that he has made smaller kits for kids in the past.
