Stormtrooper to Sandtrooper Armor Conversion  03/25/2014

One of our customers accquired a second-hand suit of Stormtrooper armor and wanted to convert it to a Sandtrooper. Here at Stormtrooper Store, we were only too happy to help....

First we helped Patrick complete his original suit with all of the accessories; Bodysuit, Gloves, Neckseal, Boots, Balaclava and Holster.

The original armour. Parts had become discoloured.

We were able to provide replacement Sandtrooper armour parts and strapping for the ab, hands and knee, as well as the all-important shoulder pauldron. Patrick also needed some extensions to his calves.

Shiny new armour, ready for weathering.

There are several subtle differences between Sandtrooper and Stormtrooper armor. As well as the dirty trooper look, the helmet decals needed removing and repainting....

Before and after of the helmet

Here is the weathered armour so far. There are still a few tweaks to be made, and some additions such as the canvas shoulder straps and ammo pouches to be added.

Move along, move along....

The StormtrooperStore says: Many thanks to Trooper Patman for sharing his story. Good luck with the rest of your build and we hope you find those droids....
