BaileyDG20 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Okay so first post. I've been reading a lot trying to find the best armor for myself. I've already heard some opinions on others armor and have already emailed a couple people on kits. But, I'm 5'1, (girl), and not as skinny as a lot of troopers( Though I'm not that big, mostly around the chest and thighs). Like someone I read about I don't have a lot of money, but I'm not 18 yet. So, I've got some time. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaeatt2 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi Bailey, you'll definitely want to check out Ericia's AP ANH build. She did an incredible job with a similarly sized build! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/26674-ericias-ap-anh-tk-build/?hl=+aicire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aicire Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 ^ Aaron is right. I am a similar size I am 5'2'' and I most def have a feminine figure lol so much that my rear plate cannot contain my bottom..... seriously, I just split my thigh last weekend LOL but its repaired. Always double up reinforcement on your shims. All in all... here are a list of my modifications to make this AP armor fit my 5'2'' frame Trimmed a small amount off the bottom of the shins. Removed two or three inches off the top of the thighs while following the curvature of the armor. Add tapered cover strips to the back of my thighs since I have a wider bottom than most men lol Trimmed an inch off the kidney Trimmed two inches (one inch on both sides) length wise from the biceps and still had to overlap them significantly Trimmed an inch and half from the end of the forearm and added foam inserts. Trimmed the hand plates to fit my hands exactly Separated the cod from the abs, removed an inch and put it back together with abs paste and epoxy Add shims to the abs to meet the kidney flush.
