Congratulations Trooper

Some calf raises will fix that Kidding aside it`s looking great Greg And I hate to do this to you but....wrist ends look a bit big...sorry (they didn`t before so it might just be me, still look good though)

Here`s to becoming the finest Trooper of them all - an Imperial Stormtrooper TM is a great choice, good luck on your build oh...and welcome princess

Haha thank you very much Dan - I really appreciate it

My advise is to try and comform the shins as much as possible to your leg (from your pic it looks good) and as tight as possible at the ankle to get that nice tapered look of the original armor and if done right (and depending on body type) you never have a problem with the shin riding over your boot or twisting for that matter. So tape it up like you have and take it through some serious walking and "running", if the shin stays in place your all set That`s beeing a Stormtrooper for ya It looks great

Thanks Greg Thank you Sir Thanks Shane Haha thank you Sean

Name: Daniel Melin TK ID: 99665 Garrison: Nordic Garrison Forum name: TheSwede Armor maker: TM (troopermaster) Helmet maker: TM (troopermaster) Blaster: E11 Imperial Warfighters Hight: 5'10 Weight: 202lbs Thank you for your consideration /TK 99665

From the looks of it you can trim more, mobility is not great but it`s a good thing to be able to put on/remove the helmet on your own and as for the black showing, most of the time you carry a blaster so with the elbows beeing bent hardly any black is showing. (RS suit for reference). Just to be sure not to trim more than you have to it`s a good thing to have the torso on with the shoulder bell and arms temporary connected (tape on inside works great) and then se how much mobility you have. Things tend to be different when strapt together compaired to just bits and pieces

That`s for the back of shins only (just to be clear) to help hide the gap/seem, in the Movie they used elastic and hooks to close the shins and as they flexed a bigger strip hides it better. So 25 is the way to go on the shins Agreed - for those furtunate TK:s that "fit the standard as per Movie" one just have to do the best with what one got And...I´ll do my best to help out as all of us do, you have got solid advise so far - Troopers helping Troopers

That`s the screen accurate way of doing it and it works great (in my opinion) just make a loop on the elastic, glue to the thigh - done But there are a other options too that also works great, only a matter of preference. I just like to do it as they did for the movie

Thanks for the Kudos Greg And...I´m a bit late to the party so the questions have been answered, however I would like to mention the arm to leg-ratio, I wouldn`t go that big on the leg ,unless you really have to, at the 25-isch mark the cover strips start to look big and it would be better to keep closer to canon size even though the arm is a bit bigger. Other than that I agree with all above

Thank you Sir Thanks Brien Thanks Dan, one can never be to sure

Wohoo! Thank you for those kind words Sir and will do

And that`s what matters - beeing happy

Looks like the thighs will fit you fine, perhaps some fine-tuning in the back but like Daryl said - don`t cut any until you are absolutely sure. How cool is this - awesome! Did you try and sneak in?

Thank you Sir

The front dosen`t need to be canon for any level of approval but keeping cover strips screen accurate (front and back) is what to strive for, however, if the builder is a bigger person it will look better if the cover strip for biceps are 18 front/back rather than having the front at 15 and the back at 21. But that`s ultimatly up to the builder

Happy BBB-day and welcome to the World of Stormtroopers

WOW - that looks awesome! Blaster AND holiday pic

FISD will get you through it

Yes Edit for clarity: thigh - back of knee

Then I suggest you start by removing some from the back of thighs (a dremmel works great) sand it smooth and yes you might have to cut and sand again but sometimes the sanding makes it less unfomfortable allowing you to keep more return than you first thought. It`s also important that the thighs are in their right position/hight before any triming for comfort starts.

Congratulations

How much return is left? And no rush, get some sleep and then try them on and post some pics and we`ll get you sorted ones your ready
