That is my fear, my weight. I am slowly shedding the pounds and I hope to lose at least another 10 lbs in the next month or so. I feel like I am stuck in between. Not to tall or to short. I fear getting a set and screwing it up during the build. So the less improvising I need to do the better. I can trim and, glue and even heat and bend if need be, but if I need to start improvising or making parts to fill in gaps I get a little nervous. I am spending a lot of money and want it to look great! I am starting to lean the AP route but, I'll wait and see. I am getting anxious and wanting to get started though! Thanks so much for everyones advice!

So, I guess the AP armor would be more accurate but would require more build experience and detail? It is also a couple hundred dollars more. I appreciate the advice!

I know that every new trooper wanna be like me asks but I don't want to mess this up. I am 5'10 and 200 lbs (hopefully a little less soon if P90X works!). I hear so much about the different types of armor and what fits who and so on. I was looking at the AM because it seemed to be a good mix of look and affordability. BUT, if it is going to be to big and to much of a pain to modify then maybe I should look elsewhere? I'm not the greatest guy when it comes to modifying so as little as possible the better. Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.
