Is anyone here a member of the 501st legion (stormtroopers)?
Discussion
mk garrison - have own website www.mkgarrison.co.uk - mick is great guy and may be able to help you
or dorset troopers might be able to help you - they are affiliated to MK group
but not many will lend kit out due to cost of original equipment

There's something rather incronguous about the word "Dorset" when used in conjunction with Storm Troopers
Reminds me of some standup (Bill Bailey maybe?) taking the piss out of David Prowse's West Country accent "You arrr parrrt o' the rebel alloiance, an' a trayyyor".
ETA - well, the proves you can't phonetically type West Country

Aha, it was Bill Bailey - shockingly bad video of it, but still :

Thanks Rogue_420, I'd be willing to negotiate some kind of deposit or something as I'm fully aware of the expense (in time as well as money) that goes in to this kit. I'll check the website when I get home later and see what can be done. You can buy a real noddy sset of foam armour os something for about £50, but as I've always wanted to go to a party as a Stormtrooper and the up coming party is Sci-Fi themed I'd like to do it properly.or dorset troopers might be able to help you - they are affiliated to MK group

There were a couple of Stormtroopers at fairford airshow and their kit was amazing, right down to a decent voice box unit.
Again, thanks for the pointer.

That price is the problem, 'tis a bit excessive for one evening!
I'll live near the Portsmouth, by the way. I won't be sitting down in it at all, as in general the parties I go to at this mates house are fairly full and invariably we are all stood up all evening.

i can get trooper gear for cost price if your interested.
or i do a good emperor prosthetic on my site for your sci-fi party.....
Thanks bigTree, but even at cost price I think it would be too expensive for one evening, do you hire such stuff though?or i do a good emperor prosthetic on my site for your sci-fi party.....
It's a Stormtrooper (or variant of) I'd prefer to go as.

That would be the Star Wars version, the guys that do loads of charity work dressed as stormtrooper's etc. Or failing that does anyone on here have decent Stormtrooper armour or know where it can be hired from?
Is this you per chance?Not sure if this would be good enough quality...
