TS - Snowtrooper
 
501st Legion Blizzard Force: http://www.blizzardforce.com.

 Helmet and Hard Armour
There are no licensed manufacturers of Snowtrooper armour, however, the fan made ones usually include all armour parts. Ebay may be a good place to start, but watch out for cheap deals, they are usually not worth the money spent.
Ask around the Blizzard Force forum for info.

 

 

 

Soft Parts
The jacket, trousers and pouches cannot be purchased anywhere, you're going to have to make those yourself.

The jacket is made of thick fleece, the pants are made of heavy duty cotton fabric and so are the pouches.


 


 

Gloves
The original gloves used for the movie were Wells Lamont off white gardening gloves.
It is extremely hard to find any of these anywhere, but look around, you may get lucky,
we did! Otherwise any off-white gardening gloves will do.
 
 

Boots
The boots used in the movie are Canadian Army winter boots, called Mukluks. These are very expensive, but can be found at some surplus stores on the internet.
 
 
 
 
 

 

Blaster
The Snowtrooper blaster is the standard Imperial issue Blastech E-11 blaster. A Hasbro toy version with resin modifications and a coat of black paint should do the trick. If you don't mind spending lots of money and carry a lot of weight at events, get the Master Replicas A New Hope blaster.
