My first build: Foam Phase I Clone Trooper

[FlightlessLad]

Hey all I've been a member/lurker on this site for a while now, but I could never build anything due to living in a college dorm and having virtually no work area. However I decided to have a go at prop-building as soon as break began. I apologize for the simplicity of the chest piece, since I'm new I was having a bit of a tough time figuring how to work everything out while still keeping the build on a relatively tight budget (college student everyone's heard the stereotypes before).

Good start. Just keep at it and don't give up. With time and hard work, you'll be able to make what you desire!
Good luck!

Day 3 of the build, and I'm actually pretty happy with how it's starting to turn out.

Also don't be afraid to tell me what you guys think!

 

[FlightlessLad]

Thank you very much, I've always wanted to try building and it's just as much fun as I thought it would be!

I think this is turning out pretty good! I made a suit of clone armor for my little brother last year, but it ended up kind of rushed. What approach are you taking for the helmet?

The Helmet is just going to be a modded Hasbro clone helmet and so far the only thing done on that is a fixed visor. All in all, not 501st, but passable enough to have fun.

Hey all it's been a while since I last updated, but I took a little vacation from the project. Anyways here's how it's looking now. Feels good to actually see the whole body together.

Lookin' good, friend. Where'd you get the foam? I've never tried working with it before. Looks like something I'd like to give a try.

I never actually uploaded the finished product, and I finally got to wear the suit out to a convention last weekend so here you go!

On a side note: I ended up making boots for the suit, but forgot them back in Tampa.

Great work!!

Looks like you painted a Hasbro voice changer helmet. I've been asking around on here about what that process was like. Did you sand the helmet down and refinish it?

 

[TLurker]

Great job!!! Looks pretty damn good to me!

Thank you for posting this thread! I always went back and forth to your post for inspiration. It was an extremely helpful starting point for my Purge Trooper foam build.
