@Nairy Just a question, should I immediately shoot for Level 3 approval on my first set? I’m kinda a perfectionist when it comes to these things, and I want to make my first armor perfect.

Hi! I’m looking into ANH to go along with the ANH blaster I’m ordering. i’m 5’7 and 1/4. I assume i could still be in that range, I found a pre-owned armor set on ebay that was for 5’8 (obviously it wouldn’t fit me even if it was the correct height), so you could say i’m a little short for a stormtrooper

Thank you! I will definitely try that. Long live the Empire!

Basically is there a site or seller (like on Etsy) who will take my measurements and make an armor set? Willing to spend a little but nothing over $1.7k. I've apparently seen that SDS Armor such as this are out of proportion and that if they aren't exactly to my measurements it won't be approved. Thank you all in advance, on my last post those who responded were very helpful!

I severely apologize for the formatting on this I was replying on my phone and trying to add a screenshot of the advertised stormtrooperstore.com armor

@Sly11 Thank you for the information! I was actually looking into buying an armor set from https://www.stormtrooperstore.com/, and I guess I should ask how that can be made standard for approval? Obviously it has to fit but are there any huge issues that need to be worked out or can I buy it with minimal modifications (aside from maybe replacing items that don't work with my height/build)? I *do* own a 3d printer and I thought about just measuring and printing a set for myself however I do not have a belt sander and I do not have the free time to sand and fill it by hand. Thank you in advance! this has been really helpful for me and my entry into the cosplay scene.

@gmrhodes13Thank you for the info. Honestly since the SDS isn’t already legion approved I might just go ahead and get the Blaster Factory ANH model. Those are legion standard (painting aside) correct?

I understand they're inaccurate but they have an Shepperton Design Studios E-11 blaster and they apparently ship to me. I plan on buying elsewhere for armor but the blaster is absolutely gorgeous. I was considering Blaster Factory but I like the plug design on the magazine more for the SDS, and I want to know if I'm actually gonna receive what I pay for. Thank you in advance, I'm very new to all of this, my expertise lies more in Lightsaber collecting.
