Hey there, 

I'm near Tampa as well, Dover if you are familiar with it, next to Valrico, I am just about finished with my RS kit. I am 6' and about 210lbs. I needed a shim on the kidney plate (really easy to do, I can go help with that if needed) but height wise it's not been an issue. If you have either a disproportionate leg length or torso length then you might have issues with height. I am fairly average I think in proportions and it works out well. If you know you are a bit girthier like me then you might ask them if they have any extended kidney armor pieces so you don't have to shim them, but I don't 100% know on that. 

Welcome, and good luck!

Hey.  Yeah, I am very familiar since I live in Valrico!   I was just looking over your build thread and it's looking nice!  Are you going for Centurion?  

Maybe once this whole COVID thing goes away, I'll be on my way and I can take a look at your armor.   Good luck on finishing it up as well.

Great desicion, good luck and looking forward for your BBB day photos. 

 

Cheers 

One other question I forgot to ask since I was just doing some additional research...the RS Prop Stunt, I am 6'1, are there any concerns with adjusting it to my height or are the molds built for anyone's height?

It depends on how "screen accurate" you want to be, Jose.  The originals were painted Chelsea style boots, and some like the beat-up look of them which I think adds to their charm.

 

   

 

However, I think most of us prefer the pre-dyed version from the manufacturer (like IB).

Yeah, I think I will opt for the IB since they will be less maintenance.  I am assuming the IB's are Centurion approved?

Are any of the boots out there for the ANH Stormtrooper armor, white from the factory or are they black and then painted white?

I noticed on a lot of Youtube videos from armor makers that they purchase black boots and use shoe paint.  It looks nice out of the gate but with the edges of the shin guards, the paint starts to scuff up on the front and rear side.

Great Jose, 

One question.  Have you decided which armor make are you  going for? if not, take a look to the following post about Where to find an Armor. 

 

Any other question please remember,  we are here to Help.  

Yes, i think am going to go for the Stormtrooper Stunt from RS PropMasters.   And thank you for the offer to help.  This forum is great and the people are even better!

@TheSwedeand @TKSpartan thank you so much for the replies.  I will probably go the route of self-building as I want the experience of building it out and I do have the name of a local builder that's part of the squad, that I could reach out to, if I needed the help.  Thanks again!  Now on to saving some $$$.

I would like to ask, is there any difference between ordering the RS Prop Master Kit and the Fully Commissioned, other than the fact that the fully commissioned is a bit more expensive?

I am venturing to guess, if you don't have the time to build out your own armor, the fully commissioned route is the way to go?

These are all so great looking. Would love to see more custom trunk pictures. I'm looking to eventually join the 501st and these provide some great ideas for my future build!
