Millar007[TK] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi all. Just went to first meet n greet with local mountain garrison (Denver) and looking to start my research. Looking for recommendations / guidance. Seeking Stormtrooper armor for my 5' 7", 185lb frame (5' 8" on a good posture day!). <br> Any comments/direction greatly appreciated.

Tolo[TK] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hello and welcome aboard. You are in a perfect height to be a TK AP just modified his armor to accommodate the Ab and Kidney sections without adding any shims.

starsaber25[Admin] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Anybody on the vetted list and MTk would be a fine choice as well. I'm 5'8" and 190lbs and my MTK fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have one of the extended AP kits on order and will share pics when I get it but I think it would fit you by the sounds of it. I'll still need to shim, the extra 6 inches wont be enough lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still need to shim, the extra 6 inches wont be enough lol Not enough? How tall are you? I was considering getting one of the new sets after speaking with Mark but I'm 6'4" and now I'm worried and may just forgo it if I have to mod it too much.

Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I'm 6'1 and 46" at my belly button so I'll need to shim the ab and kidney. Marks always looking around here so he will most likely answer this too lol Edit:took out an inaccurate part Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Edited September 28, 2015 by Knockerbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.kennedyjr[TK] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Ok cool. I'm 6'4" and 240 lbs. More built for a Vader which I plan next year but I've always wanted to be a stormtrooper. I'm hoping that length has been added because aside from the AM 2.0 I ordered, I'd like a set of AP and Mark did tell me that he added 3" to parts but I wasn't sure if he made it longer as well. I'm hoping so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yeah its kind of nice to meet another TK around my size actually lol I'm 2 inches shorter and about 10 pounds heavier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDave[TK] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 This is what scares me too. I won't need to mod too much but I'm worried about obvious gaps between the back and kidney and chest and cod. I'm 6'2"-3" 150 lbs, build like a string bean... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I also can't read apparently because I'm 3 inches shorter lol Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazid[TK] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I am 5'8" and 185, MTK fit me without any shimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiettLives[TK] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm 5'9 and 185lbs and have an ATA kit that I love! Looooong wait time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millar007[TK] Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Ata is noting almost a year wait!<br> What us the contact info for MTK?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 If you want ATA, AP is supposedly derived from the same set. One of the older TKs would be able to verify that for sure but the cost isnt that much different but the wait is like 6-10 weeks Max for AP. <br><br> Also I Don't know MTKs contact unfortunately though.

ABS80 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Just to make it clear AP did not extend length of the legs or any other parts this would compromise the authenticity of my original molds, I just added extentions to sides of AB/Kidney plates and back of all leg parts, basically added more material in areas were shimming would be required for some.

Knockerbot[501st] Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sorry Mark, I took out the innacurate part of my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS80 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) ATA helmet is very different from a AP helmet, though both are derived from screen used helmets they are different in many ways including forming quality, many can attest that including me!

Headshots Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 So I'm curious I'm 5'6" and approx 200lbs so on the heavy side with a belly. 42 inch waist, 46 inch at belly button. Recommendations for armor for me would be what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does AP still have the two left arm and two right shin deal? Or did that get rectified? I miss my AP kit though, I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshots Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Is AP designed for bigger not taller guys like me? I had heard AM was a decent choice for the larger lad.<br><br> AP ships from Canada doesn't it? AM from the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS80 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 AP has correct left and right shins and many new updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
