Make Your Own Vacuum-Formed Storm Trooper Armor

toybuilder writes: "Do you want to make it to the next Star Wars opening dressed as a Star Wars character? How about a custom-fit Storm Trooper outfit? This page shows you how to make body casts, prepare the molds, and vacuum-form melted plastic to make your very own armor. Very impressive." Also, very obsessive -- this project is not for the faint of heart or shy of time. (Start now to be ready for the next prequel, or maybe the DVD release of episode IV.) Please note that this stuff requires more disclaimers than will fit on this page, and adds new meaning to the phrase "get plastered." Danger Will Robinson Danger.

Is this armor effective?

Oh, it is made of plastic, so it should be at least as effective as the armor that the storm troopers wear.

One blaster shot to the chest. Down.

While their armor may not have effective protection against blasters, at least it didn't limit their vision or hearing.

Oh, that's right....nevermind.
