Watch part 1 of our build here: • Building a Star Wars S...
Earlier this year, we teamed up with effects artist Frank Ippolito to build a Shadow Stormtrooper costume using a new kit from Anovos. We showed you how to use air tools to cut and grind the armor pieces to fit your body. In the second part of our build, we start putting those pieces together to assemble the armor in time for Dragon*Con!
Find our more about the Anovos Shadowtrooper kit here: www.anovos.com/...

Frank is really good on camera. Great voice, and generally comes across as a genuinely nice person.

@aaronmac4115 9 лет назад

You obviously didn't watch him on the tv show "face off" Frank is the biggest douche ever.

@AniEos 9 лет назад

+Aaron Mac In defense to Frank, I think most everyone on those shows are meant to act like douche bags. Its a competition and It's what get's ratings.

@trippin916 8 лет назад

+Aaron Mac key word "TV" show...

@Cursivealpha 6 лет назад

He came back for another season and had changed significantly into what you see on Tested. He addressed it right at the beginning of Season 5, so go back and watch that.

@ideamissing 9 лет назад

thank you for posting this. i'm just assembling my gear for a 501st application and watching this is pretty much how i've been spending my last couple of weeks

@redross666 9 лет назад

the best part about these vids and the podcasts is watching Norm's eyes dart nervously around when he's not speaking, like he's not sure where to look.

1/8 ballnose endmill in a pencil grinder would be a dream. Bit of a learning curve, but it finishes/deburrs heavenly.

@AniEos 9 лет назад

I know I am most likely gonna get hater comments below, but in Bender's response, "Bite my shinny metal @$$" I am such a geek. As soon as you guys started to remove the protective plastic, I got all emotional. Goosebumps everywhere. 😲😍😍

Good thing is that you can always pause the video or go back, right? Or there is the thumbnail (it's not showing the whole body, but... I guess you need to wait for part 3): i.ytimg.com/vi/beaHxW5o-uw/maxresdefault.jpg

@iamtheAwesomo3000 9 лет назад

I feel like that kit is way too expensive for having to do that much clean up.

@anthonyg6313 9 лет назад

+DarkJedi3000 Its for hobbyists who are also star wars enthusiasts. The clean up is just part of the hobby.

@micglou 9 лет назад

+Ray Purchase Could be, but for vacuum formed pieces of plastic it is still waaaay too expensive. The material costs for all those pieces is 25 bucks at the most.

@naycnay 9 лет назад

+micglou Aye, but it'd be all the R&D, manufacturing, licensing and general infrastructure required for such a niche product. Its not like they'll sell 100,000's of these things.

@micglou 9 лет назад

naycnay I'm sorry, but that's just bull... even if they only sold a few of them. In small amounts it doesn't take big infrastructure etc... just a couple of workers and a couple of models and vacuum formers. And because it's licensed they must've had access to 3D models etc, but they still deliver a very rough product... The profit margin on these are huge without a doubt, even taking in account every aspect... or the licensing on it is just ridiculously high and that still counts as profit only not for the manufacturer. 1700 dollars is far from a reasonable price... it's pure theft by whoever cashes in on those (looking at you Disney!)

@galivanting 9 лет назад

+DarkJedi3000 then kits are not for you. because this is exactly what someone ordering a kit over the assembled version is expecting and wanting.

@MrPhillyCheesecake 8 лет назад

Frank makes that armor look nice!

@thesighbored 8 лет назад

I guess you guys should have attached the back hand piece directly to the glove for a better finish.

@GunsNRoosendael 7 лет назад

an hour of building kit and 10 seconds of showing only the front when worn? :/ damn

Would like to see a white body suit under the black armor. Think that may look pretty cool.

@TheLysander1 9 лет назад

Lining the inside with thin foam would make it pretty comfortable and look more legitimate

@TwinklesTheChinchilla 8 лет назад

@davidandfriends4715 8 лет назад

black pop rivets after using the cement would be a good idea with the straps, the cement can dry rot after awhile

@ianthomas4440 6 лет назад

Lowe the costume (and the Thriller t-shirt)!

@thesaturdaytechchannelwith553 7 лет назад

I like the Star Wars storm trooper amour (and especially, the Shadow Trooper amour) as in Star Wars it's self, the real Storm Trooper amour is made out of plastic (be it that the plastic may have added high, head resistance to counteract the damaging effects from the laser beams that come from blasters). So if you buy this kit, your not buying something that's 'suppose' to look like Storm trooper or Shadow a Trooper amour instead, your actually assembling real Stormtrooper/Shadow trooper amour if you think about it :D

@RoaringEgg 9 лет назад

When is part 3?!?!?? I want to have everything ready when the movie comes out

@Daehawk 9 лет назад

So much talent in this show. Really awesome guys and thanks for video taping it all. Haha I still say tape. Im old. Have you considered changing the area at the knee and instead simply wearing a kind of small mini knee pad there?

@yutubero 9 лет назад

Nice video very useful

@VivianGlozmansPartner 8 лет назад

i really think shadow troopers....they are the best

@DoomReginDoom9090 9 лет назад

You can make pretty dang strong ABS cement with scrap ABS and acetone you can find the blend online its is better since you can make the glue in the color that you are gluing. But if you cant get pure acetone don't try it

@manuelazcorracabrera 6 лет назад

What about part 3???? Come on guys!! 😫

@bryanserrano2200 9 лет назад

you guy should make predator🐯

@allluckyseven 9 лет назад

Haha! Frank, you're awesome. Say, what do you think of using hot glue with the PVC or ABS armor? I'm guessing that it's pretty elastic so it could work better than other glues. Also be cleaner and dry faster (more 'cooling down' rather than 'dry', but you know what I mean).

@Forbes780 9 лет назад

his right leg knee area was a bit of a fail.

@A1Retro42 9 лет назад

Cry about,it

@coldnorwegian4716 9 лет назад

+Francesco Gavardi If you're planning on doing this, maybe you should get a man to use the power tools for you. That way, you don't have to be afraid of getting a booboo on your fingers.

@Gerald5000 9 лет назад

+Francesco Gavardi Not really. They're air powered. As soon as you let it go, it stops. You barely flinch or twitch your thumb and they stop working.

@jordanjamison97 9 лет назад

Your drill at 17:00 reminded me of Led Zeppline

@Doan84 9 лет назад

12:54 why would you do that? part of what made SW so special in it's time was the wear on the equipment.

@27dcx 9 лет назад

+Doan08 Because any wear on these would look just like worn, scuffed cheap plastic. If you wanted a "worn" look you'd have to do a ton of airbrushing, just scuffing up the plastic would look terrible.

@MrDrProfStewart 9 лет назад

+Doan08 I think they're referring to accidental scratches from drilling or cutting if your hand slips or if you make a mistake somehow. Such scratches wouldn't be accurate to the "battle-worn" look the movies wanted, and they gave you a way to fix those mistakes.

@DavidBreauxJr 9 лет назад

Do you guys have any recommendations for transporting the parts without scratching or damaging them..?

@toooldfortwowheels2048 5 лет назад

Went to the Anovos site and we disappointed to see these are now almost $1000 for a kit. I know this was a few years ago but really, that's a little more than inflation.

@Testiculon 9 лет назад

It kinda looks like they're putting together a sado maso armor.

@zack9912000 9 лет назад

Plastic looks way too thin for 700 bucks. No thanks

@timhaddox 8 лет назад

+zack9912000 Consider the helmet cost 250. So the rest of the armor is 450 for the kit. And the plastic looks thin but its actually quite sturdy

@omarhaggag1422 6 лет назад

@coolidge123 8 лет назад

@switchblade 8 лет назад

its been almost 1 year my dudes

@spacecorgi3074 9 лет назад

This isn't a slight at Frank or Norm in any way because they did the best they could with what they got, however final result from this product is nowhere near what it costs to buy. The concept is great, but considering how much it costs, how much effort and work has to go into it, and what the final result is when you get there, I'm afraid this is a bit of a disappointment.

@loud479 6 лет назад

then why not get the completed suit from anovos

@MasterSn0w 8 лет назад

I would give anything for one of these if they have clones as well

@Gungrave84 8 лет назад

Can someone tell me what the purple armor on left side of Frank is? It looks so familiar, but I can`t for the life of me not remember where I have seen it before!
