  1. Hi guys,

     

    I have an issue that is causing me much head-scratching. I've tried searching for the answer on here but most threads are old and the images are either missing or broken (thanks photobucket).

     

    My problem is that my waistline is 32" and my RS armor is way too wide.

    I've been thinking about padding it, but don't know how this will look at the end of it all.

     

    I've tried padding the back of the kidney, which will enable me to have a good connection to the ab. But as a result, the butt section (and most likely back) is now out, so I will have to most likely pad that to match also.

    I just hope it won't look like a diaper that is way too big. :laugh1:

     

    Any skinny troopers out there that also faced and solved this issue?

     

    (Ignore BS helmet, RS one is yet to be built ;))

  2. There has been quite a few Shoretroopers that have been approved with their armor kits. Also if I remember correctly, the model for the AT-ACT Driver in the CRL is wearing their armor.

     

    But your best bet would be to visit the Pathfinders detachment and ask for opinions there.

     

    EDIT: (Didn't realize this was an old bumped thread)  :mellow:

  3. I'm currently building a RS kit and also didn't have anyone to help measure my biceps, so I did the following which is from Fragarock's build thread.

     

    "I measured the circumference around my flexed bicep, then around the taped armor piece. Subtract the difference and you know how much material to cut out. Remember to leave about 1/2" all around the inside between the plastic and your arm"

     

    Worked pretty well for me, but remember to do it with your correct under-suit on.
