    At 6'1", I make a 6'5" Vader (that's pretty respectable... only 4 inches shorter than the screen version). You could get closer with lifts - I can't because I have no arches and wouldn't be able to make it through the troop (as I mention in my build thread) but others do and the general rule is to not go over three inches for safety. So do I look short? There are some pretty tall people out there so sometimes but, as for all builds, you work with what you have.

     

    I mention - tongue-in-check - for three reasons: referencing ANH, everyone that I meet tells me to do a death trooper instead, and (most importantly) I'm using an Anovos kit that is only supposed to fit up to six foot. I was told that others were able to make it work but I'm a worrier and will relax when it's done. Hoping others around here, over six foot, have had positive experiences building an Anovos kit.

     

    Which kit do you use?

    I had to make a lot of modifications to my Jedi-Robe suit with armor (and a lot of help) from the guys at WRA creations. 

    Made clearance, plan to pass the build on to my son and do it the right way next time....either get a complete suit from WRA creations or rs-prop masters.

    Good to know I have a shot at Vader ....happy to be a TK for now.

    Good luck.

    Hi, my name's Don and I'm building a TK.

     

    I have been trooping with Garrison Excelsior for going on three years as ANH Vader and acquired an Anovos TK kit. Since I am 6'1", I have little room for error with this build so I've recruited Manbehindthemask to assist (he's actually doing the brunt of the work and, for that, I am very grateful).

     

    I've always been interested in three costumes: Vader, TK, and Boba Fett. Not sure if Fett will ever be in the cards but am excited about being able to troop as the other two.

    Don, I am 6ft1 as well. 

    Does that mean I could go for a Vader build? Or would I look too short?

    how did it work for u?

  3. Greetings Troopers!

    Am a lone Trooper here in Israel.

    Just made clearance with the 501st on my ANH-Stunt armor!

    My mum took me to see ANH back in 1978. Have been a SW addict ever since! My dad would feed my habit by playing a 25min version of ANH on his 8mm projector....happy times!
