I would suggest a visit to www.501st.com. Some have made their own armor here. Another option is to visit the costuming and props section of these forums .

 

e-mail sent, and welcome to a bigger world!

 

And please take off the Caps Lock next time. In message board terms, it's considered yelling.

Making your own armor is not something that most people can do, it involves a lot of work. Not only do you need a vacuumform machine, but you have to sculpt your own molds, too.

It's also not good to ask about unlicensed costume stuff on public boards like this. It's not even allowed in the Costumes and Props forum. I like your enthusiasm, but show a bit more self restraint.

 

No restraint needed.
