Edit: Stormtrooper Armour Help

dr34m · Post by **dr34m** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 8:31 pm

As suggested by one of our forum member who's aspiring to be a Stormtrooper one day too, I will post updates and make this a semi guide haha.

Got the glove from Westmall army surplus shop for $7.90

and 6 3/4" Buckles at 95 cents each

After that went up to Westmall Tom and Stephanie and found a plain black kids suspender for $10.90

Take a train 3 stops to Yew Tee and the shopping center there (new one) B1 have homefix. Got the industrial 2" black velcro at around $5 per feet. Got 8 feet of it, around $40.

They have the white 1" at around $3 per metre (I need 5m of this?) and GOOP (I don't see the sports and outdoor one though) but I've ran outta cash so I'll come back for this two items soon

p.s Thanks Ron for letting me disturb you haha

yay 30%

Yeah getting soon, it's like US$115 with shipping, thats like S$170

ouch

By the way, they are standard US Size? My sneakers say I'm a 10.5 so just follow or from past experience, do I need something smaller or bigger?

One question, how do I know what size for neckseal I need to order? Just measure my neck with a measuring tape and thats the size? Do I have to get bigger or what? =/

Hmm..I'm not sure.. It'll be better if you order size 11 shoes.. Safer choice.
Yeah, its really expensive..

I know nothing 'bout measuring neckseals. .

Oh, can choose cheaper one ar? I go take a look heh

Can any of you guys confirm the boot size? I just saw a Ebay auction guy say he usually wear 10.5 (like me..) but he can fit in a size 8 boots

I war size 10.5 for the army running shoe just to note

10.5 is fine. i'm also 10.5.

Aww, the $15 is for US Local postage, cheapest international is still $45. Total SGD: $170+

No rush I guess, can suit up armor before getting boots. Thanks for letting me know, 10.5 it is then

Yah, bloody hell! Shipping went up! Anyway, CABoots are the best! They usually come within 2 weeks. Anyway, the armor will come a bit later so no worries. I'm glad the new batch of stormtroopers are coming in just in time for the Singapore Toy Games and Comic Convention in Aug!

what do you guys think of this neckseal? If it's alright, think I'll go for this since the price is good

Don't worry about neckseals, we make our own. I've got everything we need.

As for stormtroopers in Spore...here's a look back on early last year when we had much fewer troopers than now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nOFW-_-Sz8

Hmm Interesting, I didn't know you could just make them

great, one less item to buy.

Got these today at AMK Hub Homefix:

$2.90 per metre so I got 5m for $14.50

and

GOOP Sport & Outdoor for $9.90

Just the boots left then
