Starwars larp

These look like the same kind of thing, for $80 US:

They’re made with molded foam, which I guess is the next step on from what I was suggesting (shaped foam). In terms of matching the movies the armour is okay, but not great. Would be fine for a bunch of cannon fodder.

For US $899:

For £995 (armour) + £295 (helmet), from the guy who claims to have made the originals:

sdsprops.com/battlestunt-intro.htm (helmet)
sdsprops.com/armour-intro.html (armour, but not shoes)

that’s a pretty good deal

Yeah they’re not bad. Wonder what the back looks like? It’s a little weird that the thigh pieces don’t go up higher, but that could perhaps be fixed up. The shoulders also don’t go high enough, but they might just be able to be pinned higher. And pieces could be added to come down from the sides of the belt, like in the closer replicas:

That suit was probably made for someone a bit shorter than the gimp that’s modelling it, so leprechauns like you, me and Derek might be better suited

hmmm, leprechaun stormtroopers…

It looks to me like the foam storm armour isn’t well strapped, I think with a little careful remodelling it could work quite well. Especially in light of the more authentic suits costing considerably more. Still to play a storm trooper is to die… its just what they do!

Nice to see the ad for this on the back of Immersion.

I like the emphasis on the available factions, presented in the positive light they might see themselves with - even the Empire.

I am aiming to get a section of diatribe dedicated to starwars larp and am trying to arrange somwhere to host the NZ rules once I have had them looked over by a few friends.

I’ll be happy to host any such material.

You can also upload pictures and other files directly to Diatribe now, although I haven’t seen anyone do it…

i think we should avoid star wars, bad publicity if you ask me.

Don’t you mean “Star Trek” ? :wink:

Hey! You could put me down right now for interested in a Star Trek LARP. Well, if its based around the Next Generation/Deep Space Nine/Voyager period. I’m not sure I’d be so into an Original Series LARP…

This topic is about STARWARS - you know lightsabres, princesses and rugged space smugglers.

Not to be confused with STAR TREK - you know, warp factor 9, warp factor 9.1, warp factor 9.5…
