This was about $70 of materials (if you count all the different glues and scissors I bought) and about 5 nights of work. I tried to go for a screen accurate clone trooper - we have dozens scattered around the house and neither boy is without one in their hand for long. But you know the clone troopers in the movies were always fully CGI - there was never a real clone suit ever created. So it turns out they cheat a lot around the waist and thighs - no human being could actually move or turn in that suit. So I kinda reverted to the original stormtrooper in those places because at least those were real actors with real plastic who still wanted to bear children someday.
