A rough idea needs to be refined
Last night an idea came to me on how to make a custom stormtrooper by using Doc MEGO'S repro Lancelott chest armor and taking the leg and arm plastic armor pieces off the Tinman and repainting them white, Like i said a rough idea any suggestions to refine it a little?

Maybe pick up some CTVT Knights to use their armor as fodder. Cheaper than Docs, not as good either, but if your going to cut it up anyway..."Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came." -
Hopefully this inspires
The photo does nt do credit to my cause but. This was a model made in unknown scale some years back. as you can see its dang near scale. I also know of statue type models of some of the other charactors of Star Wars as I have a Han Solo somewhere in my models todo pile. I think it is 1/9 scale too. HMMM!!!. Anyway I hope this gives ya a thought on some raw matterial for your customs. Maybe they can be picked up on ebay or at a yard sale. (I always find models half built there.) But a hobby store on or off line would probably really put the screws to ya.

I used craft foam for my custom stormtrooper armor, chest, arms and belt. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.Comment

Hmmmm....
Someone chopped down a Stormtrooper PVC statuette and it worked pretty good. The BEST way would be to do exactly what you're thinking, but carve all new parts from scratch and vaccumn-form the armour.
Which I'd LOVE to do.... but vaccumn-forming is one of them skill sets that currently escapes me. I knew a guy who did it back at the U. (15 years or so back.) He used to steal the ads from the inside of the bus to use for sheet plastic.
