Stormtrooper Armor - The what, when, where, and how of screen accurate Stormtrooper Armor 

Thanks very much, HelloGreedo! This was very helpful.

The easiest way is to just entrap a couple of troopers with a weak ruse, blast them without leaving blaster marks somehow, take their armor, and hope you're not too short to fit it.

HelloGreedo, you have a listenable voice. You ought to be a professional voice-actor.

I always liked the episode 3 clone armor the best, they had personality, and had a lot of wear and tear that made them look like real battle armor. That's just my opinion but I always thought the clone trooper designs were some of the better things about the prequels

I'd be fine with just the helmet.

I love how much content we've been getting. Great job as always HelloGreedo!

Excellent overview and a great introduction for newbies looking to get into our obsession! I myself have CAP and a Scootch bucket -- I also ordered my Anovos kit when they started taking pre-orders back in April or May. Thanks again for posting the overview and keep up the good work!

I'm gonna be about 6'8 when I'm done growing and I think it would be really cool to have an authentic Chewbacca costume. The problem is they look so hard to make and the retail ones look like a joke.

This helps a lot. I was thinking of joining the 501st around when I turn 18 and now I know where to look to get started

Verry nice introduction and so true I saw it before my own armor And it stil holds up I have an anovos TK and waited half a year before building just because i did not have the courage to start but then i called out and got help from a 501st member in my area. Been troopin for 2 years now

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Already half way through the wait for ANH hero stormtrooper armor

WhiteArmor - "This webpage is not available" hmmmm

The ATR armour is made and dispatched from a shop in England just down the road from me. I often go in and see them moulding it and boxing it. The guys thee are so cool.

Thank you so much for this info

Best video ever on Stormtroopers armor. Best information as well! Thanks Hello Greedo!

Great as always! Just the video I needed!

About time you made this video! It would be cool if you got a new set and did videos where you walk us through the assembly step by step.

thanks i will look into it

That's really cool of u to help get others going so they to can have armor just like u

YES! I have been waiting for this video since I subscribed about a year ago! Thank you!

This was so helpful greedo thank you

This video was the bomb. Thanks HG.

One the the most AWESOME VIDEOS EVER!

hellogreedo I just got a RS Prop Master armor (being bult) It is casted from the moldings from the ESB (empire strikes back) and well they can buld it for you with every thing you need you give them your measurements (arms, legs, est) but I have to say I would love to buld one one day but I hope i will remember to give you a feed back when i get it and witch it will take 6 to 8 weeks .

Thank you so much for making this vid I met some garrison excelsior members at my last comic con and they gave my helmet some compliments and gave me a card to their website but i didn't really know what to do. Now I do! Thanks Greedo (:

Thanks I always like your videos

i would love to modify this armor into a sandtrooper outfit, sand troopers are my favorite troopers they just look so cool with their back packs and shoulderpads, also i love the dirty look of sandtroopers

I love your videos HelloGreedo I have been a subscriber for a while now but not on this account. I am always exited whenever you upload, you make quality videos. You are awesome. :)

thanks for the video :)

I've always wanted to get together a Scout Trooper armor set, and to me it seems like the easiest armor to put together, and the most comfortable armor set to wear. I might look into getting an ATA Scout Trooper armor set, if available, but in terms of time, I have no idea when I'll be financially able and experienced to purchase it all and put it together.

7 years ago and I missed it? Experiencenced with RS prop pro builds? Looking good #LongLiveTheEmpire#

*sigh* Did you crash White armor?

Anovos has some really great Star Wars costumes

If I had the money and time, I'd purchase a screen-accurate TIE Fighter pilot costume and join the 501st.

Good stuff Greedo!!

oh, I was hoping this was going to be about the in-movie Stormtrooper kit. Composition, capabilities, helmet functions and design features like which culture it was based on and why it's even used when it is obviously hard to see out of. Oh well.

I like the gino hero helmet with the bubble lenses and ap armor

If it's made of ABS, just get lots of white LEGOs, a blowtorch, and a mould.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but I was wondering if you liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Star Wars and LotR are similar (being fantasy epics, trilogies, etc), so I was wondering if you liked it. Personally I love it just as much as Star Wars.

Dude, that Weird Al autograph is so awesome, must've been a joy to meet him in real life!

Hey HelloGreedo I'm curious where you go to purchase Armor Kits I completely lack the skill required to build any of that on my own. Also I want to thank you personally, you and Sam Witwer completely re ignited the fire in me and strengthened my resolve to join the 501st. by any means necessary.

I wonder if a molle rig could work. Like attaching pals thread to the armor and threading it through a jpc.

Just bought the shirt you're wearing in this video. Super stoked! I have a quick question: I want to get on the ATA waiting list, but I don't have the $500 or so dollars yet, but will have that money in a few months. I saw the waiting list is still about 6 months. Do they charge you the fee when you first get on the list, or at the end?

this helps me even though i want a time pilot costume

I wish there was finally some place/site where you could write your measurements and they would send you finished kit on your size. I would happily pay extra for that. One day I hope ….

you are My favorite RU-vidr.

The more I watch 501st Legion videos, the more I look around for blaster builds or armor assembly, the more I want to try it. What did the Doctor say? "Every time I think it can't get more extraordinary it surprises me. It's impossible. I hate it. It's evil, it's astonishing. I want to kiss it to death." Okay, so that's going a bit extreme, but the more I see the members doing their thing and showing kit builds and all that, the more I want to try it. That, and it's a stormtrooper costume. Would be pretty cool to build and own. As terrifying as it is, I want to try it... when I have the money.

Cool channel. Got a recommendation from RU-vid given my current research (built on long outstanding plans), to do a middle-of-the-road Vader outfit, primarily built around a Black Series helmet. Not 501st level quality, but waaay better than Halloween quality costumes, and better than the cosplay crap on eBay/AliExpress. This seems to be a very underserved area of the market. Not the thousands of dollars at the high end, and not the hundreds of dollars at the bottom end, but something in the middle.

+HelloGreedo not 1 dislike! you got some awesome fans dude!

Hey Greedo, Can you make more videos like this? I've been personally been trying to find a high quality Wookiee costumes.

nice one greedo!

Re-watched this 4 years later... This is what pointed me in the direction of the 501st and man, when he thossed out the 7,000 member line... It's just crazy we are almost at 20,000 🤯

Greedo i love you n your videos

I've always wanted the AT AT driver armour or snowtrooper. What other armour/costume are you guys wanting/thinking of having?

Why is is so convoluted and hard to get an already put together screen accurate armor? I understand the fun in putting stuff together but why can’t anyone have their armor already built before arrival

Holy shit... weird al signed your helmet, that’s awesome.

As a fellow member of the 501st I can say to all who are uneasy about buying whitearmor, white armors where I got my set aswell. (Still being built) sincerly DZ-20200 of the imperial sands garrison

Can you do a video on Mandolorian armor? I know my aunt made some from scratch without any websites or whatever, but I wanna see if there's any other way to make it

Im guessing there wont be an armor kit for that new metallic storm trooper in episode 7 for quite awhile

Looks nearly impossible to sit down in without breaking

I have the uniform, but I lack a Helmet. Wondering what middle of the road helmet is good. The black series one is to small. Any ideas. I am also making a HAN SOLO fan film.

Hey my kit I ordered is coming soon on oct 16 it’s oct 10, got any advice on how to put it together because there is a comicon event in my area soon so I’d like it together before so I can wear it there. Again if any advice on putting it together please let me know

Back when kids could still have armor parties. I miss pre covid times.

What if I wanted to get a set of mandalorian armor, like Jango or Boba Fett? I heard a long while back that the 501st doesn't allow custom mandalorian armor, that it has to match either Fett armor. Which to me, is weird as far as I know, Mando culture allows for the customization of the armor. If anyone knows of a link to a good forum for the Fett armor, please let me know.

Hello my name is Kevin Greenfield and I'm a massive starwars fan and I love storm troopers

Say I wanted to make a scout trooper helmet by the premiere of TFA, got any tips to do this that quickly?

What is the difference in blue or black eleven lines on the side of a Stormtrooper helmet? They are on the exterior of the internal power cells. Could it be ventilation?

hellogreedo, i have a question, I was just looking for a storm trooper helmet and came across anovos, would you recommend?

2:23 WHAT PADS DO YOU HAVE IN THIS HELMET? They look so comfortable~

How about the Anovos armor kit? I'm looking for the first order stormtrooper kit

Hey HelloGreedo, I actually just got my ATA kit in the other day and I have no idea where to start, especially with trimming. Maybe you could point me in the right direction, I've looked on FISD and I couldn't find much about actually trimming an ATA kit, unless it's not to specific to ATA armor.

What is the type of material used to make these time of suits?

Hey HelloGreedo, what is the name of the padding you put inside your helmet, i'd die to find out what to put in mine to get it to fit!

Any thoughts on Anovos storm trooper armor? Thanks

So what website do you go to to get the armor kit? Where do you buy it?

What do you think about new stormtrooper design in tFA?

Im not 18 yet(not for a couple years) and i want to join the 501st as soon as possible. Should i already star to buy/ build my armour?

Those stormtrooper boots are stunning...

Would you ever build a Clonetrooper and or Shadowtrooper set

How's the mobility in that stuff? Do the shoulder cops block you from raising your arms?

what exactly did you put in the inside of your helmet?

Where can I get an ATA kit?

So can anyone answer my question, so can we modify the outside of the armor? For example, I want to make a shock trooper out of the armor, can that be approved in the 501st? Just seeing if you know.

What about other storm trooper outfits like the sand and scout troopers

So are you in the 501st Legion? And if so, are you an active member? Great videos, by the way. :)

Hello Greedo, could you do a video on a 501st approved Vader armour? Please?

greedo i have a electronic e11 will that work?

Interesting, I'd like to make a imperial officer uniform someday, or a rebel fleet tooper uniform. Rebel uniforms are easy to make and the helmet/blaster are the only hard things to make.

Hey Greedo, where'd you get your doopydoo's kit? I'm in the process of doing an E-11 PVC build, but I'm sort of realizing how difficult some parts (namely the grip, optic, and magazine) are going to be for me to make from scratch, especially with the limited tools at my disposal (cheapo rotary tool that torque stalls in SCH40 PVC, woop woop!). So it'd be really nice if I could pick up resin casts of the parts i'm not confident in my own ability to make. I don't expect it to be screen accurate or anything, but I'd like it to at least approximate the on screen guns, and I haven't been able to track down a kit yet. Thanks, if you take the time to reply. If not, it's whatevs- keep on keeping on man.

I don't have a local garrison, and if I do it Probaby is out of state. Is there any fully completed armor sets that I don't need to assemble?

+HelloGreedo will you be playing as a rodian in Star Wars Battlefront when you're playing on the side of The Rebellion?

hey hellogreedo can i get a link to where to get the blaster that is all i need if you replied then you are just awesome.

Also how do you sign up to white armor?

i want it!

Do you know if there are Scout Trooper, Snow Trooper, or Shadow Trooper kits?

Someone should start a Buy One - Give One charity option with their Stormtrooper armor. That way all the kids in Ethiopia can get their 'empire on' on days off.

Can you give me a link to where i can buy the E-11 kit?

@hellogreedo what if I want to do a tie pilot . how much would a helmet cost me ? if your armor is 500 for the kit It seems 300 bucks for just the helmet is over priced

does the helmet come with the kit

What is your opinion on the Anovos armor?
