47 and living the dream.

Welcome. I just recently finished my AM stunt. Let me know if I can help.
-
Welcome. Are you signed up on the Garrison Titan boards? We have a meet and greet in September.
-
The AM is a fanmade sculpt and has an innaccurate chest plate not suitable for EIB use. It will need to be replaced as its too sharp and too huge.
I was recently awarded EIB with my AM build. Also, I believe with the changes Troopergear has done to his molds, AM can be approved for Centurion.
-
The AM might be too big. I'm 6'2", 225 and I had to do a lot of trimming.

I just recently completed my AM build and I am very happy with it. With the support of this board, I didn't have any difficulties putting the armor together. It is definitely made for a large trooper. I'm 6'2", 225 and I did not add any shims. I had to do a lot of trimming. Be patient, he'll be in contact with you. I found his communications excellent while I waited on delivery.

Well this is the place to find your answers.

Welcome, Scott. Are you planning on building some armor?
-
This http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_commander is the CRL for the Stormtrooper Commander. And I know there is a current WIP in the build boards.
Here it is. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32449-tk-commander-build-its-become-a-ocd-thing/

I just made sure mine was as tight as I could make it (top and bottom), yet still be able to slip my hand through.
-
Where are you from in Texas? I spent at few years at Ft Hood. Love that State.
-
I trimmed off all of the return edge, top and bottom. No need to have anything digging into your shin.

Hello, Michael. You planning on building some armor?
-
You can see in this picture where elastic connects the forearm to the bicep. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/image/907-arms-1jpg/. The bicep is then attached to the shoulder armor which is then snapped to then elastic holding the chest and back plate together. Essentially you have a sleeve that you pull on.
-
So I'm working right now on the forearms. They fit nice and the wrist opening is as tight as I can possibly get it. However, when I wear the under suit and gloves and when I put my arms at my side, the forearms slip down to the end if the wrist. Should I be concerned about this and how can I fix it?

No, because they will be attached to the bicep and shoulder armor.

For the thighs. First I cut all the excess off the front of them to 10mm on each side, so a 20mm cover strip would cover them. I then held them together with blue tape, and made sure they conformed to my leg, and that I could slide them on and off. My wife then marked the center point on the top and bottom of the overlap on the back of the thigh. She made sure the marks were in the center of the back of my leg. I then connected the dots, scored, snapped and used 20mm cover strips to finish them up.

Welcome, Adam. If you're able to access build threads, you might want to look and see what other people your size are using. Being a larger trooper, I really can't comment too much on what will fit you.
-
They'll be your best bet. Just give them some time.
-
Have you made contact with your local Garrison? It looks like California Central Garrison. They may have an armor party scheduled.

Got a link?

Thank you. I'm very excited about this. I plan on getting some troops under my belt, and incorporating the changes you suggested and then submit for Centurion.

No, but I'll take a pic tomorrow. It wasn't much of a gap, but, I was getting frustrated, so, I heated up the inside and pushed it out. Seemed to work.

Here's a tutorial on adding shims. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30448-adding-kidney-shims-for-larger-troopers/

"Is it taboo to heat the cheek and push it out to close the gap between the ear and cheek?"
This is exactly what I did.

I started with biceps, then forearms. Thigh, calves, body. Saved the bucket for last.
