ANH AP kit build WIP


Recommended Posts

Hello Troopers! I recently purchased the AP kit from Mark, great guy to deal with, and couldn't wait to start working on the kit unfortunately I was at school when I received it so I finally got a chance to work on it a bit. I also ordered the boots from Totally Killer Boots and the blaster kit from DoopyDoos.

I completed the helmet I'm just waiting on the mic tips which didn't arrive with my order.

When I assembled the forearms, biceps, thighs, and shins I noticed that they were a bit tight on me; here's an example with one of the forearms. I don't know if the problem was from my assembly or I'm just not fit for the AP kit, I'm 6' and weigh 192 lbs. This really bummed me out, if I can't get it to fit me I can give it to my brother, the suit fits him great!

Here is a quick test fit of my brother wearing the suit, are the shoulder bells at the right height? I know the thighs look a bit loose I just need to add more velcro so they can fit him well. I'm also a bit unsure on how to tackle the belt that's why it's still not there.

Also here is a back view of him in the suit, I'm thinking the back piece is just a little too high. What do you guys think? Please note he's holding on to the kidney because the snaps weren't glued well and well it snapped off  :angry: .

6-1, 188 right now and AP fits me fine although I had to shim the sides. I also shimmed the backs of the thighs...

 

As for your forearm, did you test fit it with your undersuit on? That sometimes makes a difference in regards to having a tight fit - of course you mentioned it was tight on your bare arm, so you made need to recut and size again.

 

Shoulder bell height looks good. Yep, back plate needs to come down some.
