Have you ever Dreamed of owning a real StormTrooper Suit ?

Well I did for a log time.

But what do you know about the different types of Stormtrooper Armor?

Let Us see.....

StormTrooper AP Armor

This armor originated under the GF name, which originated as copies of TE's (or Gino's?) molds.

They have since been resold Now Called (AP) aka Authentic props.

This is ANH type Armor.

Directly cased off a original screen used suit,and the closest thing to owning a original at a very reasonable price. You can find this type of armor on the net and a lot of times sold on Ebay.

This Armor is made of high quality .080 gauge white gloss ABS plastic .

I found that this Kit includes all hardware, attachments, decals, illustrated instructions etc...

This armor is not mass produced but is very good quality, One draw back is that it takes more time to construct it comes untrimmed. Just Take your time and it will look Fantastic.....

This is not like the FX armor and it is more screen accurate. The shape of the armor parts, well see for your self.

Can you tell ? Look at the Helmet close, and then look at the FX Helmet close.( For the comparison on this go to My Photo Album)

The FX helmet is 15% larger that's one thing. See if you know what to look for.....

I have this Armor and is a Very Nice Set of Armor. Very Nice Indeed.

Compared it to the Armor & helmet made By Shepperton Design Studios go here : SDS Helmets & Armor

As you will see......

I found that these high quality armors are made to order to the highest quality standards and not mass produced and hard to find.

The original actors were 5'10'' and 155 lbs on average, and as a result, the suits generally fit small Between 5'6"-6'1" and 130-185lbs

Left sided Leather Holster - To make me look more screen accurate I have this one, For more info email me.

(This is not Like the Hard Leather Holster used with the FX Kit )

Screen Accurate Rubber Gloves - A must to complete your authentic looking ANH Stormtrooper costume. Yes in the Movies they used Black Rubber gloves, 'WOW' That blew me away too.

StormTrooper / Sandtrooper Canvas Utility Belt

Belts are made from thick natural canvas that is very durable and lightweight and ideal for trooping and they are available in plain or white canvas. Also avaliable in black for stealth troopers. He usually make these about 51 inches long to suit upto a 36 waist which includes about 8 inches of overlap roughly the width of your thermal detonator where they close at the back, but can make them any length to suit your needs. They are just over 3 inches wide making the canvas belt slightly thinner than the armour belt which is how the movie version was.

You just need to attatch your armour belt and holster by your prefered method and you are ready for duty. You will receive a plain belt as seen in the pictures below.

Information on How To Below

Belt/Holster Spring Clip (Click Here)

To attach the Thermal Detonator, I bought a set of 7/8" x 3" holster clips from the Tandy Leather Factory called Belt/Holster Spring Clip part #1240-00

I drilled a hole through them to bolt the clips to the Thermal Detonator (above the hole that are already drilled into the clips) And make the outer hole that is not against the detonator big so you will be able to put a bolt or screw through it to tighten it down.

The holes that are already drilled into the clips I used to secure the detonator to the belt with rivets.

Make sure you line up the clips (level) before you drill into the Detonator

It helps to turn the bent portion of the clip against the Detonator in fact it will rest on that .

Note: Do not put clips too close to the end around 1 & 1/2" from both ends worked for me.

Also good to get the 3" leather to make the belt it is a found on http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/.

Natural Cowhide Stripes 3" X 50" Part #4578-00

You can get the White leather dye and Super Sheen from the site.

Or you can ruff the finished side of the leather with a (Med) sandpaper and use Krylon Ultra White Satin Spray Paint #3517 and then a sealer.

This is what I used. Looks very Good.

This is The Best Movie Accurate Armor Around !

All the stormtrooper in ANH were stunt except Luke and Han which were hero. The main difference is the helmet, the hero comes with bubble tinted lenses and 6 holes cut out on frown, the stunt has green flat lens and 8 holes cut out on frown, the full body armor is exactly the same.
