I have always wanted a large scale stormtrooper for my collection having never seen anything bigger than the Screamin one i thought what the heck i will have a go at sculpting one :ohbaby I have not sculpted anything for about 10 years now and i am not very good but needs must.
Here is the work i have done so far its all very rough and i have not added any real detail yet i need to know from Trooper experts if anything stands out as being wrong or out of proportion its certainly not as easy as i thought it would be and i have not even started on a helmet yet !
Be kind but honest please :)

looking good so far , if its 1:3 in size why not see if you can get hold of one of Too much Garlics SFS trooper casts,they look great and should fit this very well,

I do have one coming but i still plan on having a go at sculpting a head so its all mine but it should still be the correct scale for the SFS cast :)

Cool project! :thumbsup

The armor looks great and the helmet looks great, however the combination of the two looks somewhat out of proportion imho. The helmet looks a tad too small for the armor (or the other way around)

Again, great project and looking forward to seeing more of it. :thumbsup

:cheers

i think its proportional looking at how they sit on the real thing it isnt as tall as some versions of the helmet?
