Hi all I've recently been working on a set of tk armour for women. It started off as a bit of a hybrid between the Gentle Giant Jes Gistang statue and my own take on what female stormtrooper might look like. Since then the project has slowly moved more toward a more tk look and less and less like a legacy era set of armour. I started a build thread over on the RPF awhile ago and have had some really useful feedback but I have been encouraged to start a thread here. Now that I'm much closer to completion I thought I would start a thread here to see what people think. Big thanks to Dday and Dionaly for their feedback to date. At this stage the suits at a 1st version/ prototype stage. There are a few bugs I want to work out in order to produce a suit that fits the female form, encourages height in the suit and it not overly bulky. For those who like to see lots of progress pics head over to the rpf http://www.therpf.com/f79/jes-gistang-inspired-female-stormtrooper-armour-206571/ Anyway without further ado here are the first pics of the prototype suits. We had a rubbish camera the first day and a good one the second So the models heights were between 5'8 and 5'11, busts between 37" and 39" waists between 28.5 and 35" and hips between 38" and 41.5". I'm sure the suit can handle shorter/ taller, wider and thinner people. It's definitely a case of custom fitting and trimming. ok NOW without further ado here's the pics: The dlt everyone was holding was a piece of junk I made in a day. It photographs well but it's pretty rough. The helmet that was used is my own sculpt. It didn't look too oversized but I think a slightly smaller helmet is going to work better The changes I am planning on making are: Raise the height of the thigh pieces a bit change the ab detail to a tk look put a bit of curvature in the backplate and improve the cog look at adding a small codpiece bit to the groin plate possibly change the butt plate to work better with the thigh pieces I'd love to hear any other feedback if anyone has any. Fire away I can cope with C & C After I've got the armour working I'm going to start work on the helmet form. Cheers oota

Really nice work kw! Can't wait to see more progress pics

Thanks very much guys looks like if I turn BBC mode on then paste the IMG tab into the post that works

Hey all sorry to bore everyone to death with yet another uploading pics thread but yeah I can't insert any images! I have followed the HOW TO thread but when I get to the 'insert image' button I get an 'image properties' pop up instead. Also I've noticed I can't copy and paste links, I'm assuming I use the 'links' button but this is not working either (sigh) Can anyone help

Hi all I have been watching this thread for some time with great interest. I can't wait to see your armour KW! I don't wish to hijack this thread but I've also been working on a set of Jes Gistang inspired stormtrooper armour. I've elected to push the armour much further over to a tk style than the statue as I essentially want to make a set of tk armour that fits the female form better than the standard. The JG statue is a great base and gave me lots of ideas about where to start. I've started a build over on the rpf: www.therpf.com/f79/jes-gistang-inspired-stormtrooper-armour-206571/#post3207658 Any c and c would be most welcome I hope that we can swap notes as we go! Cheers Oota
