TKDanYoung[TK] Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Let me preface this by saying, I am 6'4" and 225 lbs. I'll be the first to admit I am WAY too tall to be a Stormtrooper.... Oddly enough, I heard that 900000000 times during my first troop lol. Hey all, check it out! Completed my ANH build, and I am finishing up my bucket (wearing my MR lid in the pics). I had a couple issues with the E6000 melting my chest buttons, and my belt buttons, so I will have to pop those off and redo them after Christmas. Currently though, I am just going to rock it like this for a couple troops to figure out where I'll need to make adjustments as it. Also, I love my white pauldron, I know it's not a Sandy but it looks so cool! With the full suit on, I sit just over 6'5" anyways. I had to extend the ab plate 3" because of the height issue, and I left extra meat all around the plastic on my shoulders and arms to aid in fitment. I still need to widen my kidney belt to close the gap I have in my back a bit more, additionally, I had to lengthen the kidney plate 1.5" per side. For my first build I am extremely happy with how it turned out. Here are some build shots and my first troop! Fresh Scootch Kit! Ab plate 3" extension cut mark Starting my extension Completed painted bits Widening my thighs for my big dancers legs lol Gluing Snap Plates Lid progress (at a standstill ATM as it's too cold to redo my paint) Starting assembly and making straps! You can see the gap I have in the back on the next shot. I plan on widening my kidney belt like I did to my ab plate to accommodate my height. Almost complete! I'm mocking up my thigh placement, and I needed to paint my chest buttons (E6000 melted the chest button plate) And now! Completed shots at my first troop! Star Wars Night at Bakersfield Condors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Did you have to extend the Ab plate because you are tall? I may have to as well. Do you have any more pictures on how exactly you did that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone[TK] Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Terrific! You are as tall as Vader! Amazingly, the armor suits you very well! If it wasn't for the tiny breastplate, I would have never guessed your size ... Very well done! Edited November 26, 2014 by Bone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDanYoung[TK] Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yes I had to lengthen the ab plate 3" due to being 6'4". I'll snap some better pics Sunday when I clean the armor off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
