At last it gives me great pleasure to start off this thread that features the Avatar Image that I've been using over a year. In a few days time, to be EXACT on Saturday, October 6 I'll be appearing exactly like the Snowtrooper Commander who received the Go-Ahead from General Veers in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK to deploy the 501st Legion's Blizzard Force Snowtroopers during the climatic Battle of Hoth..
The costume prop of the Snowtrooper Commander or Snowcommander in short, is distinctively different from the regular Snowtrooper Infantryman, as seen here with Lord Vader himself during the Blizzard Force's efficient invasion of the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base
Regular Snowtrooper Infantryman seen manning the E-WEB Laser Cannon in a vain attempt to shoot down the escaping Millenium Falcon..
Perfect fit of the White ABS Plastic Helmet and Chest Armor on yours truly ;D

Side View showing the SUPERB Details and Shape of the Snowtrooper Commander Helmet
Machine Aluminium Greeblies to be attached to the Left and Right sides of the Snowtrooper Commander Helmet
Snowtrooper Commander Chest Armor - molded in White ABS Plastic - complete with details (Imperial Officer Rank Badge have not been attached yet )
Actual Snowtrooper Commander Chest Armor prop details
Detailed and accurate Snowtrooper Commander Back Armor plate
Shoulder Connector Pieces for Torso Armor and Abdomen Armor with "Metallic Disc" Greeblie - just like the Real McCoy! ;D

Nice armour Peter. I look forward to seeing the photos of you trooping in it. Thank you for the compliments TK 8829.
I will definitely be getting lots of photos taken as Roy has assured me that there will be professional photographers assigned to take individual shots of each of the participating 501st member in the upcoming event in Taiwan.

Cool armour, must have cost a lot. Now I realize the difference, the snow commander's helmet face cover looks pretty hard like a mold, while the regular snowtrooper face cover looks like a softer plastic cloth.

You're right Jadenlee, here's what a regular snowtrooper's face covering look like:
Personally I prefer the soft version, I think it looks more 'functional' in snowstorms and such.
Yes it can be terribly expensive if you were to buy a new kit and build it yourself, but there're always good deals around from people selling their existing costume. The pic above come from an active eBay auction by a member of the RPF, and he's put a BIN price of only US$500.

Cool armor, Peter! At last your long dream of trooping around in a Snowtrooper commander uniform is true! The circle is complete. Except that M'sia has no snow.
