Here are some additional pics of the cast original ANH armor, including closeups of the helmet:

There, the joys of flexible arms and fingers! This is also how my Marmit trooper is posed.
The blaster is the best replica Stormtrooper E-11 blaster I've seen. It is virtually identical to the one pictured in the Star Wars Chronicles. For more pics of the blaster, see link further below.

Trooper abs! (made of ABS too! :D)

Close-ups of the Stormtrooper E-11 blaster:

This blaster was made by "propfan", out of resin, metal and plastic parts. There are many different versions of the stormtrooper blaster, with slight variations in details in each of them. This one matches up exactly with the one shown in the Star Wars Chronicles. It's heavy too! This is by far the best replica blaster I've ever seen.

And this is the armor I had previously, which is the type worn by 95% of the fan troopers out there. As you can see, it's very nice in its own right, but not totally accurate. You can see comparison pictures at the bottom of this page.

I forgot to paint one of the ridges (on the 'ear') black.
