I’m way more invested in this than I should be. I check back every day to see if you’ve managed to remove it.

Ha thanks. I’ve spent a long time looking at his face.

So this has been an ongoing project of mine for, well… more than a decade. I think I started it in 2013 or 2014. It’s undergone MANY changes, and has had years-long spans of sitting untouched. Ive been playing with it more recently, and I always get sucked back into the “good enough, no...

Upgraded the chest and belt boxes.

They seemed to have disappeared entirely in just a short amount of time. I should have pulled the trigger on a second one.

At least that looked… intentional? This black one just looks like a badly painted helmet.

Same here. I have one I purchased years ago, and a brand new one. Both have a purple tint. I wish I had gotten the whiter one. Interestingly, my Hasbro Clone Trooper and Scout Trooper helmets look much whiter next to the Storm Trooper.

Something like this. As cheap and lightweight as possible.

Can't take pictures currently, but one of posts a little ways back outlines how I did it.

Styrofoam head was one I had lying around for years, still available at Michaels.

Thanks! The left arm is just a metal bar, so I very carefully bent and twisted it. For the lightsaber, I used a chrome sink tube cut to a shape that fits over the (ground down) existing saber. I used as many lightweight parts from toy and 3D printed sabers as I could. It’s far from accurate, but...

I’ve done more work on this guy. Today I steamed the bodysuit to get rid of the wrinkles that were driving me crazy, and stuffed the arms and legs with extra foam to fill them out more. The lightsaber has gotten some major upgrades as well. I made vinyl decals the serve at the ports on the MPP...

I can confirm - the 25% shows for me in my Target Circle account, good till Nov 16.

I’ve seen people use the Black Series helmet on this no problem. Personally, I’d go with the one with the extended neck. As for lowering the arm… the saber holding arm has a lot of electronics. I’m not sure there’s a way to lower it without major modifications.
