Short clip showing a Stormtrooper at the 1978 Nec Toy Fair. Presume its a screen used one? https://www.macearchive.org/films/atv-today-17011978-toy-fair-nec

Anyone?

Hi all, I've had a set of AP stormtrooper for years, and I only ever made the helmet and started on the forearms. I would like to sell the armour only (keeping the helmet). Its complete with instructions etc and in near mint condition. Can someone please give me a rough value for this before...

Ok so having taken a break from this for...years...i started building again, only to find Photobucket has removed all the links or some of the photos don't work. Luckily I've saved most of Glenns photos, and so put together a WORD document with his build info in. This makes it so much easier...

Nice work, hows this coming along?

Damn photobucket....all the photos have gone! Any chance of getting this back somehow?

Well I got a band today (in the UK). Looks and fits nicely. Not perfect as its got a texture, and is stuck together at one point. Noticed the screen used one has a profile (unlike the poster version).

thanks for the replies guys, this is a great help! Sorry if i've PM'ed people i didnt get an email to say these posts had been made...so sorry for the nagging!

So how have you attached the shield to the helmet itself? Mines quite loose. If you turn the helmet upside down it will fall off. Any suggestions?

I've started mine at last! Trimmed and sanded it. So how have people attached the shield to the helmet itself? Mines quite loose. If you turn the helmet upside down it will fall off. Any suggestions? My shield is also a little wide at the sides, can you heat this stuff up and re-shape?

I've been looking at the extra picture of the Rogue helmets on set, and noticed a couple of things. The torch has slipped so is inline with the bottom edge of the helmet. Marked with an arrow below. The torch appears to be held in place with just a bent piece of wire. This wire sits behind the...

Good eye. Looks blue to me. I've also been told there were cast in light grey (poly plastiflex).

Been told the originals were cast from poly plastiflex which would explain deformaties and squashing in pictures.

This is looking very nice. Need to get started on mine! What colour did you use in the end? Montana Gold Petrol?

Maybe VD picture was taken before filming. Once helmet used during filming perhaps the bands didnt stay still so metal clip added to secure it.
