Over the weekend, I decided that I needed a shorter mannequin to wear my retired Sandtrooper armor and well, I went out and bought another. Female this time, and damm close to my height [yes, I'm short!. :)

Her name's Jesse and here she is, in one of my fav poses.

Pete [the original 7ft tall mannequin] will now be the basis of my Predator Display. :) All my armor and nowhere to put it... :D

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Stay safe,

Tim.

How much it cost? How much you have to spend on this? Are you a working class or still a student? :wink:

Understand your enthusiasm. I'm sure you'll get all the help here but first of all maybe you would like to tell us more about yourself no?

Nah, no one it too old for Star Wars.....unless you are doing Lil' Ani or Jedi Younglings :shock:

Most of us got into it in our very late teen or after we start working (and have wife, kids, house, car etc etc :lol: ).

Hi atx2. Sorry, I just came across this thread by chance. The guys were asking your age and if you were working because we have a lot of SW fans here who are still students and thus find it difficult to cough up the dough to own a movie accurate suit.

I'll say if you're serious, set aside approx $2.5k for a complate sandtrooper suit. Manniquins vary in cost, so hard to say. If you want a fully poseable one, they sell the life-size art dummies at Art Friend - those go for about $500-$600 I think...but thats high end. Everything poseable, including fingers!

If you're keen to get started, you can contact either myself, Paul or Tim from the 501st Legion and we could help you source whatever you need.

Cheers.
