I am one of the lucky ones who received their product (an FOTK undersuit), and while I will say the quality of the craftsmanship is quite good... if he spent as much time working on product orders as he does posting on socials, he'd be in a lot better position with the community. I can't currently recommend either.

I ordered a cpt enoch suit from sheev about 2 years ago, still nothing 😮‍💨

One other misc quality of life change. This whole time I've kept the ab piece whole because I can actually slip in and out of it. However, for ease of putting it on and off, I did finally decide to split it, and just add some elastic across the split. This way it should hold together, but as I'm taking it on and off, it will give me a little bit of extra room. Tonight I also starting painted the chest piece with acetone-thinned Bondo spot filler in preparation of final surface prep: I am using the method shown in this excellent video from my garrison mate, Colin:

thank you, Tony! I know I have a long way to go with the painting and then of course submission but I honestly never thought I'd get this far. I thought it was just one of those costumes that wasn't meant for someone my size. I appreciate all your cheerleading and advice over the past 8 years!

Updated. Have added a warning under Sheev's and stated gloves no longer available for Endors.

Here's an update on how I scaled my armor, including my trial and error. I might make minor modifications in the future and if you believe that I should make any changes at all, PLEASE do not be afraid to say them. For my original design, I was using a smoothed out articulated dummy to represent myself, then printed out a cosplay caliper to measure different parts of my body. I took the dummy pieces, the chest in this example, and used the caliper to measure parts of my body in diameter instead of circumference. The chest came out okay, and I think I might make some modifications in the future, but when I inserted photos of myself in order to align the dummy pieces, I figured that I could just use the photos as the way to scale the pieces because it would most likely be more convenient as the pieces were right there and I wouldn't have to try to make every dummy piece align to my body. Here is a link to the dummy in case you want to try the method for yourself: https://www.printables.com/model/1072658-dummy-smooth-v2/files I imported a human body I got from Thingiverse or something, and scaled the dummy guy to my height in my slicer before importing him into Blender. After that, I imported photos og myself from two sides and lined them up to set myself to closely the same height as the dummy. Something I must advise with this is to be careful with perspective. I tried 3D scanning myself with every app I could but I just couldn't get one to work. With the photos, the perspective might disform you and slightly alter your proportions. Double check the measurements of the armor to make sure they are correct and that they fit before printing. I finally resized all of my armor to fit my body, although I'm not sure if these measurements will be final. I made the thighs, calves, forearms, posterior & cod plates slimmer and shorter, and I'm not finalized on the abdomen and chest. These photos do not include any more adjustments I made the the chest and abdomen because I'm not entirely sure on how or what to do for them. Looking at reference photos, the two vertical rectangular indents above the center abdomen details are visible below the chestplate, so I'm not sure if I should make adjustments to have the chestplate shorter or if it's just something that won't be visible on mine due to my body. Here are some more quick renders of the regular armor compared to the armor scaled to my body: I went ahead and adjusted the abdomen and chest to be a bit slimmer in order to not give the silhouette such a blocky look as the stormtroopers in Rogue One all have taller, more slender and athletic looks. Something I was thinking about doing which I did in my last build in order to counter my shorter torso was to make the abdomen just slightly taller. In this photo, I slimmed the abdomen and chest, turning it from looking less square-ish to a bit more vertical rectangular-ish. It worked just slightly, but I think I'll need to make more modifications for a better look. After slimming the chest and abdomen, I made the chestplate shorter, but I don't think it helped. As a matter of fact, I think I made it worse by shortening it this much. I will most likely make the chestplate just slightly shorter, but I learned my lesson from my last chestplate when it didn't even overlap. My next step in this will most likely be to find a good scale to have the chestplate and abdomen, by just slightly shortening the chest and enlarging the abdomen to have the cod piece sit just slightly lower without modifying the proportions I've already given it. Since I don't want to take out of proportion too much of the armor, I think I might adjust the belt when messing with the width and depth but leave it alone when it comes to its height. Edit: I went ahead and tried what I said about shortening the chestplate by 5% and increasing the abdomen by 10% to see how it would fit, and my opinion is very iffy. 5% just feels like too much so I might tone it down to 2.5% next time. Making the abdomen 10% taller isn't great, and I think making it only 5% longer is going to be the way to go, if I choose to make the abdomen longer that is. Additionally, I don't really like the cod piece sitting too close to the thighs, and as I look at more reference photos, I think I might make the cod piece either shorter or trim some off of the top because even after scaling it down, it doesn't look that long in the photos. If anyone has any suggestions or anything to point out, please feel more than welcome to as I'm willing to accept any feedback. I'll continue to make modifications and will take some more measurements when I get the chance, so I will update the armor if I get any recommendations and when I figure out what to do for the abdomen.

Keep trooping has added an under suit that look pretty good, and Endor Finders is no longer selling RO Gloves, so we may want to update this list as well. Also we may want to reconsider list Sheev's Emporium as a trusted vendor. The complaint of his taking orders (money) and not fulling them have been multiplying.

I decided to scale the armor slightly more with some modifications until I got a look that I was happy with, which brought me to a couple more steps that I need to do. I moved the armor into an action pose in order to see what I would need to do for a good realism to comfortability ratio. With thighs this long, I don't think I'll be able to comfortably move up any tall stairs as seen with my left leg, so even though I can probably move up normal stairs like seen in my right leg, as I look at more photos I think I'll leave more of a gap between the belt and the top of the thighs. By scaling the thighs down even more, I created another problem which is that the ammo belt on the right thigh starts to look more compressed and squished down. Sayless kindly offered to help me with the adjustment as I still struggle with modeling. The calves and arms are still look good to me, and something I tried to do was scale the abdomen to fit on my printer, but no matter what I do I just can't get it to fit without completely changing its scale now. I'm not sure if I'll continue with the updated ab greeblies as Akira's work just fine and some of them don't even fit, so I'll revert back to the original ones during printing. However, Sayless showed me that the ab greeblies have a sort of taper which I'm trying to recreate by modifying some files on my own. Here are some photos of the armor in a mobile pose, and you can see that the main parts that I need to adjust are the thighs, and then I'll be ready to start printing. In case anyone was wondering as well, I did not scale the helmet, the only modifications were those made by TKModder421. I'm going to take some more measurements and will update once I finish as my PETG and TPU filament should arrive today. If anyone has any recommendations then please feel welcome to point anything out as I might not catch everything. I've been receiving help when it comes to fitting parts together and strapping the pieces together, so I'll continue looking at other build threads to see what others did and if anyone has any good recommendations for good materials or connection rivets, I'd be happy to hear them.

Updated @jmfl4sh

So awesome, thanks for all the great info. I def do not want to jump to fast into buying my kit so I appreciate the info but I can't wait to get it going. Looking forward to being a Full member in the Orange County Garrison.! PS: I did join that FB group- just waiting on approval.

Yeah avoid Sheev's. Paid for a Captain Enoch undersuit last April and nothing

My pleasure. Like you I have costumes still sitting in boxes. You're actually giving me inspiration to work on them

I know it's been a long while but I'm approved in my ANH Stunt TK! Can't wait to get out there!

Thank you for the advice very appreciated. I’ll be sure to go ahead and try Flickr.

You will get more replies if you post your images directly to your thread as it's a bit of a pain to keep going back and forth, most of us use free online image hosts, I've recently started using Flickr https://flickr.com/ upload your images there then comply and paste the links into your post. You could also post in the Pre Approval Area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/ Or start a build thread https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/

Spreading words out to the Hong Kong Garrison and The Japanese Garrison.

Thank you all for your insightful advice! Glad I'm not crazy...I do have access to the beta of Formfitter because of Kickstarter but doesn't seem it will be helpful for a while... I do acknowledge I'll likely print out parts that have been modded and then realize they don't work and trash them...just trying to mitigate the mistakes as much as possible. Okay, seems like a manual process of stitching the parts together and scaling as needed...hmmm...as mentioned, my buddy has been doing design work independently for a few decades so perhaps just sending him the files, he could put them together, I could scale them appropriately through measurements of my body, and then print out...I might be over thinking this, but that sounds like a plan... Thank you @Platinum Lex, I will scour your thread for updated files...definitely would like to minimize reprints and no reason not to get the most accurate ones, eh?! Thank you all again. love the community of support! This will be a long process...and I have a day job that keeps me busy...but hopefully this is something I can work towards for a Halloween '26 reveal...

File Name: Stormtrooper Pot Container Designer: 2G_DSGN Last Update: 12/06/2026 File: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2921751-storm-trooper-pot-container?from=search#profileId-3269465 Description: Looking for a galactic upgrade for your desk or entryway? This Star Wars-inspired container is the perfect stash for your daily essentials. Use it to keep USB cables tidy, store your guitar picks, drop your house keys at the door, or fill it with candy to welcome your guests in true Dark Side style. You don t need AMS to print it, just a few drops of superglue! If you don t have all the different colors you can print the total white profile to save time. The best part? It features a clever camera-lens style bayonet closure system. It’s super smooth, quick to use, and automatically locks into perfect alignment every single time—no crooked helmets here! Images:

Went ahead and bought Nico's helmet. I messaged TKModder for the updated helmet files (obviously I said please) so I'll just be waiting on those before printing and this time I'll try to put more updates on my build process in case someone catches an issue I didn't see myself.

Thank you all. Your kind words are appreciated more than you know. So yesterday I realized I was sick of being *almost* basic-approvable at the end of yet another month, and with a decent push I finished half a dozen strappings, put the mesh in the hovis (after a delightful "I LOST MY HOVIS WITH THE SPEAKERS INSTALLED" scare), mounted hovi mics and ears, did a handful of other nitty gritty things, and suited up for pictures. It was cloudy out so they're not as clear as they could be, but trust me it's better that way. I do NOT consider this Centurion-grade for a variety of reasons - bear that in mind when browsing! I will be replacing and refinishing several parts. And I forgot the thin elastic ties on the shoulder straps. Sigh. But for now, I do look rather like a TK... ...and then I *really* had some fun. So yeah, there's that. Plenty of work ahead, but if I can start trooping as is, I'd love to be able to.
