Oh man I didn't even think about trying to fill the back of the thighs with an ammo belt on.... Thanks for saving me that nightmare!

Update. The thighs are still giving me problems. I need to fix the strapping because I am both built a little weird and I can't get them to stay where they need to be. (Also I have to fill the backs :-P ) The forearms are not connected to the bicep which I'm hoping will fix the slumping. Is the thigh amo box in the right place? I had the sniper knee thing connected but it was sketchy and fell off. Any suggestions on how to get a firm glue on? I'm going to shim the shins so they also stop slumping. So how am I doing? https://imgur.com/gallery/ys1vzUR Thank you again!

I just want to say thank you to everyone! I shortened straps and cut around the thighs... It already looks (and feels) better! Pictures soon.

My partner is amazing and for my 40th Birthday (COVID cancelled) I was gifted the best gift of all... A suit of stormtrooper armor. So now what? It was purchased from a coworker and was mostly cut out but I can't get it to fit correctly. It feels and looks big. I'm sooo scared to mess it up because I have waited decades to have my own suit... please help. I have looked at Youtube vids. Joined FB groups (Thanks to all in A little Short for a Trooper) But I don't know what I am Missing..... Thanks for any help offered or better search terms for the forums Stats 5' 10" 200lbs In the pic I know the thighs need to be higher but how do I fix the diaper butt? Shoulder webbing is tooooo long but they do fit I just need to shorten them. Right thigh Ammo belt (split rivets are best?) Left knee pad (split rivets or glue?) The shins and forearms actually fit well I just didn't have them on in the pic. Oh and I didn't know the biceps were connected to the forearm so I also need to add those pieces.
