    Could *my height* be a distraction???

    Wowowowz! :o So much feedback already :) Thank you all so very much. I absolutely appreciate it! I am very thrilled to have read each and every comment on here.

     

    You know, I think I'm gonna do it. :blush: I'm about maybe 5'6 (at very least) naturally or 5'7ish (at very most), somewhere near there, but in gear, and with brief shoe mods, I'm assuming I'd be 5'8 or 9ish in the coustume.

     

    You see, I've always been the type that really gets into the cosplay / character...I suppose you could say I'm somewhat of a "method actor", in a sense. I would not go for a character, if I felt was totally out of my reach to pull off "appropriately". I'd go for a character that was possible, in my opinion, that could potentially work. And it has seemed most of the Star Wars characters were outta my reach, in regards to height :/ So, I have always felt concerned with that... I didn't want to feel odd, you know? But perhaps I'm kinda overthinking it somewhat a little too much, and might actually blend in well quite nicely. I feared the thought of having to trim armor (would prefer not do myself, so I can stay safe), and possibly not being completely happy in the final outcome on how it looks on me, after investing  a lot in. Might as well try, right? Settle it once and for all, rather than to wonder.

     

    But I've noticed there's a slight few stormtroopers that seem to appear shorter, compared to most in the films...plus Luke Skywalker was a stormtrooper...well, sorta...briefly...haha so I'd use his height as refference, too.

     

    Anyways, think this might be the forum for me. I have been on 3 others, but, jeez, this is by far the most feedback I've gotten, so far, and it is encouraging. :)

     

     

    I am, in fact, *NEW* here, but I've always been procastinating on the thought of becoming a stormtrooper... and so finally I have joined this forum...despite the procastinating thoughts that has transpired.

     

    I have been invited into my Garrison since early of 2017, and couldn't really pinpoint on a coustume. :( I'd start builds, and then reconsider...but this year...this year (2019) is the year I officially want to become a full 501st Legion member! So hopefully that will happen :smiley-sw013: I will be posting more topics, and reading here quite often. Feel free to be my friend.

     

    I am wanting to have a build that is very accurate, but also ready to go with my measurements, rather, I don't want to build from scratch, because I don't want to ruin anything, and would love to get approved ASAP. I'm thinking Stunt or Hero Stormtrooper, and currently eyeing RS prop masters. What are some alternatives, that can offer me ready to go armor? What do you recommend for someone that is like me? Thanks, again...I really do appreciate it. :D

     

     

     

     

    getting ready to go armor might bring some risks with it .

    armor vendors always ask precise measurement but its difficult to build them 100% right , the difficult part is they have your measurement but they don't have you there to get some test fits .  if they could test fit it on the customer it would be easy to build them to their right fit because they can see where they maybe need to trim some more or where they need to adjust the straps etc.

     

    don't get me wrong and I don't want to scare you !

    I have seen some very good full assembled commissions but I also seen some that needed some adjustments .

     

    I can recommend you RS propmaster and troopermaster , those are in my opinion 2 of the best ones I have seen .

     

    there are more vendors out there that do some amazing jobs , it all depends on where you are stationed for shipping .

     

    I hope this helped you a bit :)
