What Armor Type is Best for Smaller Frames?
Vader1 replied to GeekStation's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
I modified and built a set of ATA armor for a 5'1" 105lbs female friend of mine. It was not too difficult. Below is the link with some pics. Limited build info, but I will gladly offer any advice if needed. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22180-ata-armor-build-for-petit-51-female/#entry276769 -
Great looking bins!!!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

In the scene on Jakku, several stormtroopers as they were exiting the drop ship had the pistols on their legs and were carrying F-11Ds. I noticed both times I have seen the movie.

The shield looks great! I received mine yesterday. Thank you! I am putting a screw (The security type that is used on F-11D) with a washer into the back of each of the tips through the shield for added security so that they can't be knocked off.

TFA Stormtrooper Baton Build - Not Accurate

Outstanding build!!! Looks great! -
Fantastic work!!!!

So here is modded airsoft kit I am using. I added a printed DL-44 blaster muzzle and cut off the attachment for the shoulder stock. I cut off the rail part of the front grip and glued the nerf sight to it. It is not 100% accurate but it is close and it is a huge improvement over the nerf. And a great option as I do not have a F-11D yet. I am using the sight off of the nerf gun which is too small but it will work until I can get a proper replacement. I plan on added in the white part of the hand grip which will be made from worbla. I just picked up a small sheet of it Saturday. I will post a pic when that is done. I am tempted to do more aggressive mods to it to make it more accurate, but I am happy to have it to troop with for now.

Installed Dan's outstanding metal holster! Thanks Dan! I found screws in my garage that worked perfectly on my blaster pistol. It was very secure. Didn't even notice the blaster on my leg. Was worried I would feel the extra weight. FYI, the airsoft I used is gutted and it weighs 398 grams or 14 ounces. A little challenging putting it back, but I got the hang of it quickly.

WOW! Outstanding work!!! Looks great!!!

FYI, the real Glock 17 was a tough fit. If you got an Airsoft Glock 17 I am sure you can mod the front of the Glock to make it work. So, has anyone found a cheap Airsoft Glock 17 anywhere?

Glad I was able to help out. I good friend of mine with a 3D printer printed it up. It is a little long, I will shorten it up today. The sight on top is the tough part without any good reference pics. I am tempted to put the nerf sight on top, but it might be too small. The only part I think I can identify is the AR-15 front sight. I don't plan on going for 100% accuracy, because I am sure in the near future someone will put out a print file or offer a 100% accurate gun. I figured it will work until that happens and look pretty close. Considering TFA troopers were modding the Rubies E-11 in place of the F-11D. They weren't perfect, but they were passable for the time.
