Which armor maker

[Robert[501st]]

One of my friends is looking at doing a TK, mainly because she wants to be a femtrooper too but wants to have a offical 501st costume. I am a TI so I am not too sure on the different builders of TK armor so she asked me to look around for her. She is 5'4" and skinny. Any help would be apprecheated thanks.

I would say any of the ROTJ tour suit screen lineage ones (AP, ATA, TE2, T/MC, etc.) would work. TM too, but it's higher end and I think it suits slightly taller troopers. I think Daetrin / Paul had a photo of a trooper that was really slim / short and they trimmed their kit down quite a bit to fit.

 

RT mod, AM, FX, etc could be cut down to size, but they would be even more work.

 

This thread has lots of info in terms of specific features.

Thanks!

[Femtrooper Julie[501st]]

Oh, someone say femtrooper? LOL! One of the outpost guys is about 5'4" and his armor fits very well. I am sure she can pull it off. Is she going with Ritchies for the fem-part?

Out of interest, where do you girls normally get the chest plate etc from?

[Robert[501st]]

Someone in my Garrison has a spare set of the femtrooper parts. So I will be getting those from her.

Agreed. My wife (slim 5'4") in AP (TM helmet):

TE was experimenting with a set, last I heard he is not selling them now. Ritchie's armor is the only maker I know of now. There are rumors one of the makers has something pending though.

 

Julie is using Ritchie now, and the TE set is to big for her. We'll trim it down at the outpost. It is a nice set.
