Stormtrooper Armor
This is one of the main reasons why I choose to wear armor from the moment I step out the house instead of changing at my destination - takes ages to put together!
My armor is fastened securely in place with flat screws instead of velcro which tends to leave sticky yukky stuff all over the place. The screws mean that it takes ages to put together again but also means that its sturdy.
Took this photo when I was at Microsoft - had an event and for some reason I stuck it in a carry-on before leaving the house. But it was a good experience as it was from this day onwards that I decided to wear-from-house.
And for those who have not seen it - how I put on the armor.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

How much time do you need to take to put them on and take them off?

That's a lot of parts. Do you label them to know what goes where, or have you been donning and playing with it for so long that you instinctively know?

Most of the parts are now permanently fixed with the screws - screws have a dab of super glue too. Still need to figure out what goes where if I take it apart.

Why not try magnetic lock attachment with minimal velcro on the side?

Man, looks like a pain to put together, understandable why you'd want to do it at home. Seriously, someone needs to invent a robot or something a-la Ironman to speed up assembly. Goodsmile got any factory robots they don't need?

Impressive number of parts.. Plus they're self modded.

interesting. looking at the pic, there's pro and con to this system. pro is it's compact and able to fit into that black bag u have on the table, thus ease of carrying it around. con is as u mentioned takes ages to wear it.
for me, all parts are assembled and put inside a 29" suitcase. we usually suit up at the destination itself. the only problem i find is that it's a pain to push the heavy loaded suitcase around. >.<

All my associates who work for the Empire only change at the destination. otherwise they'll get pull over by police or getting mock in the train transit.
Anything interesting... that's what I do.

Hmm, where did you buy your Stormtrooper suit from, Danny? Ive seen some sets on ebay and they look about the same. I was wanting to get a set but I dont trust ebay too much.
a 'creative' type
didn't realise there was so much involved in wearing the armour, like the backwards/forwards dress up sequence.
...is it just me or did anyone happen to notice a image flash up - along the lines of "all your bases belong to us" or something like that?

Can you even put that thing on without help from someone? Certain parts look like they would be hard to put on on your own.

Hi, Danny! I subscribed to your RSS and mainly read your posts through Google Reader. And some posts are doubling there! That's fatigues... Have you any ideas why so happens?

"My armor is fastened securely in place with flat screws"
Didn't know that... I guess if you have to use screws then it is understandable if it takes a lot of time to put on:)

Loved the flying armour in the vid.
How long have you had this Storm Trooper armour?

you wear your armor from house?? That means that the screws adds some flexibility..
