Cladius Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 SO like the title says I am a bit on the skinny side but really want to troop. I know there is a general body type that is ideal for the "real" stormtrooper look but I'm definitely a little thinner. I am 5'10.5" and about 150 pounds so I am tall and lanky. Was wondering if anyone had any pictures or worked on armour for themselves being on the smaller size? Just hoping I won't have to do a ton of mods on stuff to make it look like it fits me correctly. I'm buying a set of First Order Armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cladius Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Just saw a thread below this about the same thing basically. Can't believe I missed that. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Not sure about FO armor, Sam, but I am in the same boat as you... 5'10 155, and my regular TK armor fits pretty well, (see photo). I initially thought that wearing a compression suit would highlight my lean frame, but the armor takes care of "bulking me up". With the FO armor, I believe the gaskets and such will take care of that even better.

TKRalf[TK] Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 OT TK are really small and compact. Even at 170lbs my armor is really snug. So you'll look great in it. <br> FOTK armor is a different story. Just about everybody ive met that has it equates to wearing football pads. It's very bulky and leaves little room for modification for shorter or thinner troopers. But that hasn't stopped people from trying. In due time armor makers will start making armor that can be fitted to most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit discouraging since I have been working towards building/ buying the FOTK. I'm hoping I can find a way to make a kit look good on me. If all else fails, I am also interested in the OG Snowtroopers so I would likely go with that from someone like Anovos possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
