Paul has retired his original Stormtrooper suit after years of service and replaced it with newly built suit. Congratulations on an exceptional build

For those that aren't aware Paul has tracked his Stormtrooper build via his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@downunderstormtrooper
Which is a great source for those looking at building a Stromtrooper suit.

Approved character: Stormtrooper (ANH Stunt)
Why you chose:  I think stormtroopers are some of the coolest looking characters in the Star Wars universe. My nephew was getting married with a Star Wars themed wedding on May 4th (of course) so I decided to go whole hog and blow his mind. I rocked up and trooped his wedding. They were not expecting that at all
Something about me:  I lived in Nicaragua for a couple of years and speak Spanish. ¡Si querés hablar conmigo dale pues!
Now that you have completed this costume, what is your dream Star Wars costume: Vader, but I'm not sure if I'll get around to it with so many great Vaders already in the garrison. I have another far more serious CRL in progress currently for costume #2.

Something about me:  After closing my workshop 15 years ago and having the need to continue fabricating stuff, as a life long Star Wars fan, i felt the need to build an R2-It all started from there.

Now that you have completed this costume, what is your dream Star Wars costume: NFI…… they’re all good
