What is the general consensus about the "Supreme Edition Storm Trooper?" What are your opinions of ABS vs. HIPS?

I have seen this armor approved but only after LOTS of mods, tweaks, replacement parts etc...I think it would be easier to start with fanmade armor that's a little more accurate.

ABS=Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
HIPS=High Impact Polystyrene
ABS will stand the test of time as it's a very durable plastic. HIPS can pull finer details than ABS, but HIPS has a tendency to tear and wears down quickly the more you wear it. Although many great suits have been built with both types of plastics. I would highly recommend to those who plan on doing heavy trooping to invest in ABS rather than HIPS. I hope that answers your question, mate.
