My Stormtrooper mannequin - WIP

[ob1al]

First pics of my new stormtrooper mannequin - it's still very much a work in progress:

This is built using the £20 'cheap and easy' PVC mannequin I posted in the tutorial section on TPZ. It needs more padding and I need to make some posable hands so he can hold his E11.

More pics as I progress.

Looking good From where is the armor and helmet, which make?

Is that a JB ESB? Looks extra nice.

Looks good Al.

Did you use the same amnnequin for your Vader?

 

[ob1al]

No, for the Vader I bought a 6ft 2" fiberglass mannequin and modified it.

It stands at approx 6' 8" now.

Very Nice, they both look great. I always wanted to be able to display armor that way but don't have the room.

PM sent Chris - it was actually from a seller on eBay UK.

I'm really digging what I'm seeing so far. That's going to look awesome next to Darth.

 

[ob1al]

Thanks.

Here's another shot I played around with and made B&W, just for fun:

 

[stonky]

Looks good.

Is there a reason why the chest armor is sitting higher than the shoulder bells?

Thanks - yeah, the shoulders on the mannequin I made still need to be padded out more.
