So, my armor thighs are too long and they are restricting movement (beyond the normal). I am not sure how to go about fitting them, as my thighs are short and the cod is flush and can't be raised higher. I have a long torso compared to legs. I'm not entirely sure how to fix this problem. Do I trim the thighs back, if so where?

You bought the ATA ABS TK Armor! With this armor you can look just like those troopers seen in Star Wars! some assembly required I followed your recommendations and spent a nice chunk of change; I can't wait to start! By the way, I plan on selling the VT helmet finished as a clean sandtrooper so the owner can decide where they want the dirt, a pair of Mark Cheng's Stormtrooper boots, and a set of FX helmet decals but I can't post anything in the for sale section. Help would be most appreciated. I will keep everyone updated as I go along (in a different thread) readily accepting tips! Thanks!

I can't wait to get this kit! (rubs hands with glee)

Hi All! I'm planning on purchasing a set of TK armor but am worried about things not fitting right. I stand 66 inches tall, currently 188 pounds (I gained back what I lost the year before which will disappear - I've picked up ice hockey), 40 inch chest, 38 inch waist, 42 inch hips, 28 inch inseam, 26 inch thigh, and 17 inch calf; in shirts I wear a medium and pants in between a medium and large. I am torn between three makers of TK stuff: AM, ATA and VT; my hobby skills are that of a rancor. I purchased a stunt helmet kit from VT and am very pleased with their work however I don't have a steady hand and botched the frown area, therefore I must buy a new one. As far as armor kits are concerned, I would like to avoid using shims as they deter from the illusion. I would like to have as much response from people who own any or all of the mentioned armor kits to assist in my decision. I appreciate everyone's knowledge - this is a fantastic source of information! Thank you! -Nathaniel
