[Armor for the Vertically Challenged....]

Thanks everyone for your input, really appreciate it!

 

Definitely going with TM.  I sent Paul a PM, just waiting to hear back.

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated!

[Armor for the Vertically Challenged....]

I am just trying to think ahead and make sure I am starting with armor that "for me" might not need as much trimming.

 

I think what got me thinking about this is a thread the other day where Paul (troopermaster) mentioned the "desired 5'10" height" when talking about trimming armor.

I have noticed in build and submission threads how the gaps tend to close up for guys my size.

 

It is just the OCD in me but I want to try and avoid as much of that as I can

 

I am fairly certain I am going with TM armor, might just pay off for me to have Paul trim for height as he mentions in the thread above...

Hey all,

 

I have been reading build thread after build thread trying to learn as much as I can the past few weeks.

 

I know I am going with TK ANH Hero armor.  I keep coming back to TM armor but I have a question.

 

In the majority of the threads I have found regarding fitment, most seem to be focused on which vendor's armor works best for taller or larger troopers.

 

I have not seen much on which armor might be best to start out with for those of us who are a bit vertically challenged (5'8.5").

 

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome, looks GREAT!  Looking at TM ANH Hero for my first build.

 

Looking at builds like yours keeps me going until I get to the point where I can order my armor

Thanks all for the welcome, much appreciated  

 

I think I have decided on the armor, going with TM ANH Hero. 

 

Now I just have to figure out how to pay for it

Hello all,

 

I was 14 when Star Wars came out in theaters, have been a huge fan ever since.  I have been to lots of events where the 501st has been represented.  I have always thought about joining but life just always seemed to get in the way   My kids are also big Star Wars fans and my son has expressed a strong interest in joining the 501st.  He is 16 so he has a couple of years yet to work on his armor (Scout Trooper).  His enthusiasm has rekindled mine and we are going to do this together.  I have been spending quite a bit of time reading, reading and more reading.  I have not decided on which armor kit to go with but I do know that I want to go ANH Stormtrooper.

 

Looking forward to my first build, joining the 501st and trooping with y'all

 

Thanks

 

Bob
