[Bigger, Short ANH TK / Shadow Trooper]

We like to say here that while any kit can be made to fit any body shape (with enough work), some kits are more amendable to different body types than others. What kind of kit do you have? Any photos of both you and the kit itself?

I have an Anovos kit. Sadly, I didn't find out about the different company's until after I bought my kits

[Smoke Smelled Armor]

Just to follow up with this topic, the helmet (which was far worse than the armor) smells so much better! About 80% of the smell is now gone in there! I'm going to hit it again with some vinegar and then hit the armor with vinegar when I'm done with the build to hopefully lighten the smell some more. Thank you guys again! 

[Bigger, Short ANH TK / Shadow Trooper]

Hello from NC!
I'm trying to build my shadow trooper right now when I realized that not only do I not know what I'm doing, but I'm not fully sure where to start. I have read the tutorials on here on how to put this together, but being female, on the chuncky side and 5'1, I'm not fully sure how to go about making the armor fit me. I found a picture on where to cut the armor to make it fit my height, but how to do I make it fit my weight? 

Also, any tips on how to best go about heating the armor to reshape it? Any feedback will help!

Thanks for the responses! I will try the vinegar and baking soda and hopefully that'll help out

 

....and maybe you can buy some "activated charcoal" product, place it near your armor or inside the helmet. And place your armor in a room with good circulated fresh air. ...a question, does the armor slightly yellowing ? from the nicotine.

 Louis, thankfully this is a Shadow Trooper!

I just bought armor off another member and they are a smoker. I don't smoke and find the scent off putting. What would you all recommend to get that smoke smell off the armor? 

[Anovos Release for Q1]

I ordered my TK in August and I would just be happy if I get it and have it completed before the next SW Celebration. I've heard stories of horrible delays with Anovos. However, I have been looking at the threads too so I could hit the ground running when it comes. Ukswrath's "Go-To" is an amazing thread!

[HOWTO: Modifying Armor for Women]

Thank you for this post! I've been researching what to do for my  5 foot frame and seeing all the armor available for 5'9+ has been scaring me!
