I’m kind of a Star Wars geek, and what better to celebrate Halloween then creating my own modified storm trooper outfit! I built this Homemade Heavy Storm Trooper Halloween Costume with cardboard, duct tape, electrical tape, white spray paint and a whole lot of time and love.
I used reference images from all 6 Star Wars movies to help develop the suit. Creating the Helmet was the most fun and challenging. The eye pieces were made from cutting a pair of tinted safety glasses in half and reversing them to fit into the eye slots. I added a visor and some cool little ear slots that don’t exist on the original storm trooper, and I gave each piece a little more detail including beefing up the lower leg and boot armor to make it more of a heavy look to it.
The gun was made from an old Corvette muffler with a Nerf popgun handle a vacuum hose, some plumbing tubes, and black duct tape.
The suit took about 3 weeks of intense labor and two fully sleepless nights to finish before dawning it on Halloween. But if you ask me it was absolutely worth it. GO STAR WARS!
Mate, this costume is amazing! I’d love to know how you did it. Any tips??
I am a complete Star Wars fan this year I am going to be a Sith lord, either way great job!
Man this is by far the most awesome storm trooper costume of all time. I would love to see a hi-res pic. Great job. I might try and pull it off for next year. If you have a hi-res, you could email it to elnino7@gmail.com. Thanks!
