So I've decided to tackle two costumes in one. My plan is to build an Episode 7 stormtooper first, then through modifications, turn it into Captain Phasma. I began by downloading the pep files for the Trooper from www.alientechstudio.com. I began with the helmet. The files appear to be very accurate, though lacking some of the fine details. I'll handle that later.
A couple of things I've learned in this process so far; I prefer working in cardstock over foam and I love Loctite superglue. Couple of details, loctite siperglue comes in two variants; Gel Control and Super Gel Control. Gel control sets in 5-10sec and is awesome for short connections that you want to bond quickly. Ultra Gel control sets in 20-25 sec and is better for longer runs that may require a bit of alignment.
In all the build is progressing well.
