I'm Sydney based. I'll probably try to sell this set before I consider what set to get next. Thanks for the heads up! I have a few of those but will keep them ready for when I'm ready!

Thanks for taking the time to chime in. Yes, I'm 5'7" and 160lbs so a big difference. I've looked at the guides and also the advice given in the last few days and decided against building and go as something else. I'll probably go ahead and sell this after Halloween (possibly for May the 4th next year). Thanks for all the info and assistance!

Apologies for the resolution - previous advice indicate its an AM set. Do you want to see any specific pieces in detail? I think my worry is more about 'where' I should trim. I think I'm more nervous about making a mistake I can't reverse so I've got trim paralysis if that makes sense. I'll start reading into these builds and see if I can adapt. Thank you for the links! Edit: Cricket's Where to Trim guide is really helpful! Given the short time constraint (I still have a day job), I don't think I can make it look accurate, I'll just have to make it as wearable as possible. Edit2: When I say accurate, probably no return edge, proper connections... it will probably be a mess of velcro, hot glue and duct tape for the night

Hi all, I bought a full stormtrooper armour set several years back. Long story short, it got held up in customs because of the blaster, and when it finally arrived I kind of stashed it away in storage and forgot about it. Several years later I found a reason to dig it up and I tried it on for the first time. Its huge. I look smaller than Luke in a stolen trooper suit. Jokes aside, I'm seeking advice on wheather its feasible to trim and resize this to shape in less than a week. For context i think this was made for someone 180-185cm, im 176cm. I put this on as is, with no alterations other than masking tape holding it together. A few other notes; I can't bend my legs (kneeling or raising my knees) so the thighs will have to be shortened and slimmed down. The torso and abdomen is huge, I actually dont know how to fix this. Theres a lot of foam in the helmet so ill need to take some out or replace it so its not as tall. The arms are the closest thing to ok, needs some trimming. Advice is much welcome! Edit: I am based in Australia if that helps with telling me to get certain supplies.

Thanks for the quick responses! I've located a few threads for adjustments to be made so I'm super keen on getting started (it's currently processing at customs). I'll create a build thread once I receive it. Also, I believe the black patch on the right chest piece is a bit of velcro to hold down the shoulder pauldron. Thanks everyone!

Hi all, New trooper reporting in for duty. I recently purchased an armor set and jumped the gun and didn't ask the source of the kit. I was wondering if any of you could identify it. On the outset it looks like a bit of work needs to be done on it (joins, the imperial insignia on the shoulder - don't know if its a sticker). Let me know if you know what kit it is... It's currently in transit. Also came with an eFX helmet that needs work (ears, brow, mouth, etc).
