  3. Am I a little short to be a Stormtrooper?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    At least you guys are lucky, you get a canon quote, I get the one for Family Guy Blue Harvest: "Aren't you a little fat to be a Stormtrooper."    :huh:   

     

    But I will use Keith's line from now lol

     

    For a lot of them, it is the only line from the movie they know.

     

    Welcome to the FISD Kristie.

    We empower all trooper regardless of height, weight or gender.

    You are going to look awesome when you are finished building your armor, and that is what matters most.

    HAH! I too am a 5'5" trooper and I get this line at least three times every troop. Love hearing your guys' replies! I sometimes say "my mom says I'm just right!", but I like yours better!

     

    Our 5'9" trooper was telling me he gets that line too, I think people just say it because they want to connect with us and that's the first way they know how.

     

    Welcome and I look forward to seeing your build! :)

     

    5'6" so I hear the line often.  Just reply "aren't you a little ugly to be a wookie?"  It gets a laugh.

     

    I'm 5'5 and have friends who are Stormtroopers that are 6'. No matter what height you are, you're going to get asked that 'short for a Stormtrooper' line. And it's mostly GUYS that say it. So I quickly remind them that they're in the wrong attire to be the princess! (Because that's Princess Leia's line)

     

    Thanks for the support and words of encouragement!  :salute:  These are all excellent comebacks and I will be sure to use every single one as soon as I get to suit up.

    I make armour for your size too. Here is a photo of my son who was about 4' 10" at the time and Steve (in TM Hero) is 5' 6" for reference.

     

     

    You guys look great! :duim: I assume you're based in the UK? How can I contact you if I wish to learn more about your kit? Thanks.

    Hello fellow troopers! I'm a pediatric nurse by trade. Although I have a particular set of skills, I'm afraid none of which has anything to do with Liam Neeson or building things. 

     

    Needless to say, I'm a rookie at this and just so happen to be 4'11" and under 100 lbs. Judge me by my size, do you? I assure you I am perfectly healthy and proportional. 

     

    Anyways, I've been doing a lot of research and sent a couple of emails and no one has anything other than standard adult size or experience about obtaining armor for someone of my size. I'm a little overwhelmed with the research but NOT discouraged. Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I don't want to get a standard size armor and trim it down so much that it won't fit well or won't the meet the canon standard.

     

    Any idea where I might be able to find kids size armor to work with? I'm excited and looking forward to finally start building my very own Stormtrooper armor. PLEASE help! Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
