[Does this Stormtrooper Suit make me look fat...]

your kidney/butt plate seems kinda high...

 

That's what I was thinking too. I have it just about touching my under carriage. Does it supposed to hang down a bit from there?

[Does this Stormtrooper Suit make me look fat...]

Here's a test run of fitting most of my armor:

 

 

 

I think the ab/butt piece needs to be moved down a bit, which in turn I will need to shorten the thigh webbing. I think the thighs need to be trimmed a bit more as well.

 

I have webbing between the ab crotch and butt part, but how close are they supposed to be to your naughty bits down there?

 

Obviously the parts missing are:

1. Shoulder bells (with the webbing I still need to make, will also hold up the biceps better)

2. Belt + it's accessories

3. Helmet (I have this, but needed it off to help my picture taker to operate my camera

4. Ab buttons (waiting on VaderDaves to come in the mail)

5. Knee parts

6. Neck Seal (In the process of sewing one)

 

 

How do I make the ab/cod piece a bit thinner to tuck around me? I think what I have concluded is:

 

1. Add elastic to the chest/back piece sides.

2. Have the belt on, as this should tuck some of the sides in

3. Possibly trim the ab piece a bit thinner on the sides?

 

What would you recommend?

Hi, I have gotten the Stormtrooper bug since I went to Dragon*Con, and saw how cool all the TKs looked (Everyone else looked great from 501st as well!)

Anyways, I have started my ordering phase, and looking to become a TK shortly. My ordered list, and to order list is as follows:

 

Has/Ordered:

MR CE Helmet

TK-1422's Green cut lenses

VaderDave's Ab Button set

Black undersuit

FX Kit

Gloves from Smitty

Caboots

Electronics (Purchased Wal-Mart Voice Changer, may modify it to work with helmet...unsure.)

 

Needs:

Neck Seal (Thinking of ordering Trik Toyz one or making one)

Canvas Belt (will be attempting to make my own)

Misc - glue, velcro, foam, etc.

 

That should be about it, I do realize I need a blaster, but that will come in time. Any thoughts, or maybe you have better deals?

 

Thanks!
