Lifesize Strormtrooper

The Stormtrooper was created utilizing the following materials.

Mannequin - Fully adjustable male mannequin (www.zingdisplay.com)

Costume - Collector Supreme Edition, Star Wars, Stormtrooper Costume (Amazon)

Gloves - Rubie's Star Wars Darth Vader Gloves, Black, Adult (Amazon)

Elvis Shoes - (Amazon)

Ribbed Neckseal - (www.triktoys.com)

Helmet - FX Star Wars a New Hope Stormtrooper Helmet (Amazon)
The Helmet that came with the costume was not very good

Main Controller - BooBox Flex Max (FrightProps.com)

DMX to RC Interface - SVR08M 8 channel controller board (nothlightdmx.com)

Remote Control - Wireless Trigger (2-Relay) (FrightProps.com)

I installed a lazy susan bearing where the mannequin would go. I did not use the mannequin head. A rod connected to a servo is used to turn the mannequin head. The fingers were cut from the mannequin hands and servos are used to emulate the Stormtrooper typing. The controller had 2 built in servo channels but I had some issues with them so I bought a DMX to RC converter board. The controller also has a fully programmable DMX output and with the DMC to RC board I was able to obtain additional servo channels.
