Well it has been the LONGEST year of my life, trying sooo hard to finish up the stormtrooper armor. Who knew it would take this long! It is ridiculous almost. If I was a complete stranger and knew absolutely nothing about making armor, I would wonder what in the world could possibly take so long! However, since I am the one who is handsculpting each piece…I understand more. Although I never in a million years thought that I would still be working on it 12 months later.
So the helmet is done and it looks pretty great. I have been resculpting the butt plate this last week and then I have to fine tune the ab plate. I have been doing test pulls and I will not be happy until all the armor is absolutely 100% screen accurate and perfect. Although perfection is something we all strive for in the fan based armor arena, who knows if we really achieve it. All I can do is base success upon fan reactions. So hopefully with fingers crossed, everyone will love this set of armor as much as I hope to…when I am finished. Which will hopefully be very, very, very SOON!
I hear you on the time requirement; I am sculpting a GM back pack and it’’s taking way longer than I expected. Symmetry issues are constant–dunno how you get your sculpts so perfect. Again, looking forward to the new armor.

I hear that the armor that you make is very wonderful. I also am looking forward to the release of a new work.

Trying to get perfect symmetry is very difficult. I just try to get it close and then I resculpt it over and over until it looks as good as it’’s going to get!
