OK folks, thx for your inputs. I highly appreciate.

Thx Ingrid for your detailed explanations. You really saved the day. One more question: Am I allowed to shortened the top of the thigh armor parts to enhance fit ? I would carefully respect the curves so that they would look the same but I will loose the 'return edge' of the original cast. These parts are simply too long. Doesn't look good as there is currently no gap between the upper thigh and lower abdomen, can't properly move/walk... and ... they do pinch, well you know, my best part ;-) ... couldn't troop like this... Thx

I forgot to add this one: Is a helmet suspension (as helmet liner) allowed or does it need to be a foam ? Thx again for the info P.S. not sure if this is the correct thread to post these kind of questions. If not, please feel free to move into the correct place and let me know. Thx

Hi, I recently received my ANH armor but need to do some modifications to improve the fit. Indeed being athletic but not very tall (5'7") I must: - enlarge the biceps and calf shells; - shorten a bit the thigh shells; Questions: - can I use wider shims/strips to increase a bit the separation of the shells ? - can I shorten a bit the upper part of the thigh shells while keeping the original shape ? ... without loosing eligibility for approval or Centurion ? on another topic: Is the wearing of a pauldron permitted (I've read on StarWars Wiki that regular Stormtroopers also wear Pauldrons) ... I had white in mind for Sergeant. Thx for the info
