Right then, my first ever blog and my first ever post. I decided to try and live out a childhood dream (kinda) I was always pretty 'into' my Star Wars, I remember watching the movies every christmas, and one of my favourite characters being the Stormtroopers.
Having recently had a baby, money was tight, so I went the ebay route in hunting out a bargin, and finally settled on the 'kit' above.
Foolishly, as it turned out, it wasnt a 'real' fan-made kit at all, rather a fibreglass 'soft', quite poorly molded kit, and require(s)(d) an immense amount of work on it to make it half way decent.
I therefore set about (with a borrowed Dremel or 2) cutting parts out and trimming sections, but more on that later. As you can see from the pictures above, I had, and still have my work cut out for me!
I'll post the next set later to show how I cut out the frown, and eyes :D !
Hello I have this very same kit. I'm having huge problem trying to get this right. Nothing lines up properly. How did you get on with this and could you post more pics of your build please? Thanks Ben.
