Ah good point! I hadn't thought of that. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

It's an ABS suit with resin details. I don't have an undersuit yet. Should I get one before working on the armor? Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Yeah the trimming is where I need help. I've seen some small TKs so I would imagine I could do a Rogue 1 version too. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Hello all, I have a whole HSP R1TK kit that I've recently begun work on. The first thing I want to check, before I put countless hours into this costume, is will this be worth my time? What I mean by that is I'm a small framed person, 5'8" 165 pounds, and every piece of armor will need to be trimmed to fit me. I'd hate to butcher this up and get something that isn't approvable by the time it fits me. If I can make it work, I'll need help knowing how to trim everything to fit. I'm familiar with Mando builds and done a few different types of helmets but not a TK kit before. Here, for example, is the arm piece. I know I have to trim the sides along my arm but you can see I'll need to shorten the whole piece to match the length of my arm. How much do I take off? Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Where did you get the helmet gasket from? I'll be needing some as well. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

HSP is Head Shot Props. Joe has a website and Facebook page and there is also a R1TK group under his page for those of us with his kits. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

I have their kit too so I'll be following closely. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

So HSP is making the armor now and looks like 850 is starting on the helmet.

I received my BBB from Head Shot Props over the holiday weekend. Already had my B grade helmet kit from the sale around Easter. Now I've got the armor to go with it! I laid it all out yesterday to see what I've got. This will be my first stormtrooper build and first 501st attempt. I've got experience working on a mando but this will be a whole different adventure! I plan to get: Gloves from Endor Finders Boots from Imperial Boots Undersuit from Jim Tripon (don't know of any other options, especially stateside) Hovi tips and audio system from Ukswrath I'll think about a blaster later, but do want to get one in the future. Anything I'm missing at this point? Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

I haven't ordered from them personally, but they are a reputable vendor. I'm ordering from Head Shot Props myself for the armor. They are the only stateside vendors I know of. Jim Tripon also makes the armor. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I'm curious as well. I just got a HSP helmet and will need to do this too. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

These guys also make the blaster. https://www.etsy.com/listing/467464092/e-11-r1-blaster-diy-kit-or-ready-to-use Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Does 850 make the helmet? I thought they didn't. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Are you a part of the Facebook group for the build? That's the only updates I've seen and it has been a while. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Were you able to upload the files somewhere?
