I am looking for the armour for the right arm of a Stormtrooper. Does anyone know where I can get some spare parts?

Also a blaster?

Thanks

Hiya Stormtrooper!

Welcome to the forum.

For the Arm, like Jeanette (the lady at the TIE Pilot Booth said), best is to ask Tim, the local 501st Garrison/Outpost Leader as he may know where to get parts only. I'll remind her to refer you to Tim soon.

For Blaster, for now, quickest alternative is the Hasbro one from Simply Toys (Get a ST Member to get it for you from the main store). The good thing is, it's not that heavy and durable enough to drop several time. Or you can wait a while first to see if any other stores or someone can help get it directly for you when they drop by US etc.

And you are one lucky fellow to have that Don Post Armor!

I still remember me back in 1996 drooling over the one they put up at the Taka SW Christmas and goes into the hands of the Brunei Royalty.

Thanks for all the tips!

I made it down to Far East today and managed to get the blaster! Now I can calculate the dimensions of the right arm and get it reconstructed. Hopefully once I have the armour plating I can bring my Stormtrooper back to its glory days!

I believe the CO of our 501st Legion outpost had contacted you... Hope that we'll be able to help you complete your statue...

My Stormtrooper is made from fibre glass. The quality is fantastic and its a real shame that the arm is missing. You can see a picture of a completed mannequin at http://www.starwarshelmets.com/

Hi JediJean,

I'm now getting quotes on repairing the missing arm on my Stormtrooper. Hopefully I'll have it completed soon. I can't wait!

Please let me know if you guys are up to anything.... kinda sad the exhibition is now over....
Cheers!

Thanks Donleow. Sadly my Stormtrooper is a mannequin so I am unable to remove the armour, however let me know what you guys are up too.

I'm currently in the process of converting the Hasbro blaster to a more authentic looking blaster.

Next project.... reconstructing the arm!

Have you been given a source for the armour?

Stormtrooper · Post by **Stormtrooper** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 9:52 am

Yes, thank you. I have found a manufacturer who may be able to sculpture the armour into the arm so I am now getting quotes. I'm probably going to get it made from soft wood, in three pieces so I can adjust the position of the arm such that it lines up with the rifle.

.... I've discovered that reconstructing is much more difficult than repairing!
