  1. I am 5'2''.

     

    I always respond with "I am Luke Skywalker, and I am here to save you Princess" as I point to them.

     

    Once they realize I am a girl, they start laughing and apologize.

     

    As far as those comments go on pictures... I always say that whoever is pictures with me is abnormally tall and I am of average height.... Yeah, that Jawa, shes actually 6ft, so of course we look the same size ;-)

  2. ^ Aaron is right. I am a similar size ^_^ I am 5'2'' and I most def have a feminine figure lol so much that my rear plate cannot contain my bottom..... seriously, I just split my thigh last weekend LOL but its repaired. Always double up reinforcement on your shims.

     

    All in all... here are a list of my modifications to make this AP armor fit my 5'2'' frame

     

    • Trimmed a small amount off the bottom of the shins.
    • Removed two or three inches off the top of the thighs while following the curvature of the armor.
    • Add tapered cover strips to the back of my thighs since I have a wider bottom than most men lol
    • Trimmed an inch off the kidney
    • Trimmed two inches (one inch on both sides) length wise from the biceps and still had to overlap them significantly
    • Trimmed an inch and half from the end of the forearm and added foam inserts.
    • Trimmed the hand plates to fit my hands exactly
    • Separated the cod from the abs, removed an inch and put it back together with abs paste and epoxy
    • Add shims to the abs to meet the kidney flush.

     

  3. You might be in luck... Someone is working on armor to fit 5ft-5.5ft.

     

    I am 5'2'' and I went with AP as it was suggested for use short TKs. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/26674-ericias-ap-anh-tk-build/

     

    My build is not nearly as detailed as Diana's [linked in previous post].
