[Iron Mouth/Teeth Grilling?]

Not too sure where that picture came from... But the original stormtroopers, both stunt and hero, did not have any sort of mesh or fabric behind the teeth.

[So will everyone be ditching their stormtrooper outfits?]

Are you kidding me!?! They will always be the original and even more iconic now imo.. no way in hell

[Are these gloves approvable?]

Oh no, those are terrible maybe if it is extremely cold out like you're trooping on hoth and wear them under rubber gloves that's okay xD

[How do I answer the question: "Did you make all of this?"]

You didn't make it, you assembled it... just say no, I bought it as a kit like a model, and assembled it myself.

[Are these Tights ok?]

I went to wal-mart and got a pair for 10 bucks with no seams, fit like a glove..

[Eastbay evapor...stitching is ugly]

Why not just go to Wal-Mart and get a 10.00 pair lol... all do the same thing

[Sanding ABS armor - need advice!]

For me I used some 60 to really get it even, a higher grit will make it smooth sure, but it will still be wonky as hell, so i use a 60 to get it perfectly even, then a 200 to get rid of the roughness, then use a 1000 to get it perfectly smooth, without even wet sanding all the corners of my armour were as smooth as the face of it

[Small framed which armour is a better fit?]

Hi all

 

I am in the closing stages of making my first TK armour ANH Stunt purchase and am overwhelmed by the amount of info, hence my question.

I am a 5'9" tall but weigh only 149lb.

I intend to build to Centurion straight up

I am looking at the following 

ATA but the waiting list is 7 months long (I could be dead by then) Lol, but I hope not.

RT-Mod

MTK

AP

AM, think i need to buy back plate as not accurate for centurion

 

When reading the armour guide on FISD it seems that some of the posted info is out of date so i would appreciate any sizing help.

I do see that some armour is designed with the larger trooper in mind, my height seems ok but excessive trimming for my slim build could lead to lets say, interesting looking armour

 

Thanks in advance for any input

 

Isn't that average build around the same as the actors in 1977?

Ew second one is fugly, first one looks pretty good though

[Greetings from a Boba Fett in Portland, OR]

Huh. Funny thing is -- my trooper is extremely uncomfortable to wear, so I started a Mandalorian in the hope it would be *more* comfortable 

Welcome to the FISD!

 

lmao! yes I would presume a mandalorian would be more comfortable since it's at least not 100% armour lol, Boba has quite a bit of soft spots

[Any other white leather boots besides TKboots?]

Get them from RS.. they make good stuff, you can get other white leather boots, but they by no means fall under the category of "good" haha.. either that or paint some yourself

[Correct EIB strapping method]

Yeah, I raised it myself a few months ago and it does keep getting raised unfortunately. It would be nice if the powers to be could put a little "Mandatory for level 2 & 3" statement somewhere in the CRLs.

 

That would definitely make it much clearer

[(AM, ATA, TM/c, AP) Which is best for a first-timer?]

Not AM simply because it's inaccurate.. otherwise they're all pretty much the same, depending on who you ask they might have different opinions.. the AP helmet is slightly less accurate because of the smoothed cap and back but besides that it's just price, wait times availability etc.. as a newbie you would never know the difference

[Correct EIB strapping method]

Oh I see, the wording is just a bit confusing since they're listed under optional accessories, just as their EIB and centurion requirements are. thanks for clarifying

[Correct EIB strapping method]

Am I missing something? Blasters are optional.. the CRL is for if you do have the optional blaster, what it's requirements would be.. guessing this is because of travel issues, regional restrictions etc

[anyone gotten armor from here?]

Wat, that isn't for sale..?

[My first ATA helmet build]

No the movies were gloss white ABS plastic while the helmets were a khaki coloured HDPE

[Am I considered a "bigger" trooper? ATA armor?]

That's not true, there a guy in our squad who's about your size who I think wears MTK and it looks fine. There are a ton of other armor makers, I'm sure you've searched? http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12693-which-armour-is-better-for-a-bigger-trooper-read-here/page-2?hl=%20sizing (Page 1 sticky). Steve knows his stuff, he's seen many a TK. I think I'm just in that gray area where I could wear ATA or RT-Mod, but there's a big price different. I just don't want my leg pieces looking too short/too much black with an ATA kit.

 

Oh yea I can wear it, looks fine once it's on with padding. I guess it depends a lot on how it's made too.. How about AM? It is not as pricey

[Am I considered a "bigger" trooper? ATA armor?]

5 11 ish 130, no armour fits me lol.. but this was before the armour was trimmed

[Am I considered a "bigger" trooper? ATA armor?]

You will fit in ATA. If you have a 38 in h waist, you will fit. Even if you are 39, you can still squeeze into it

 

I have a friend who is 6'0 215 lbs and he tried on my armour, theres no way in hell he was getting into it without adding at least 4" shims on either side... thats not to mention the legs and arms as well.. But I mean I guess it more or less depends on the person, he is a 38 waist

[Am I considered a "bigger" trooper? ATA armor?]

You definitely wouldn't fit in ATA without a lot of shimming

[I'm kinda going coucou...]

Did you use clamps ad let it cure overnight?

[Scared my armor won't fit me right when it comes in.]

Height won't be a problem but the sides will overlap for sure
