Millar007[TK] Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi all - so I was recently 501st approved, and have my 1st troop coming up...but being able to actually walk in my kit would be a decided benefit! I know it's all down to the individual trooper, but any tips on how to trim the backs of the thighs/top of calves to allow more leg manoeverability? I can lift my foot up past a few inches. Worried about making too dramatic a cut and throwing the "look" off. Any pics of people's examples that work would be awesome. I'm 5'7" and sticky if that makes and difference.

ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Take a look at the guy on the left. Just try not to far past the upper ridge of the return edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjdesign[TK] Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I had the same question/issue... I cut "v" shapes like you'll see in the picture above. Worked like a charm! Inside thighs were my second issue. You'll see drastic trimmings on those as well. I've come to realize there is no perfect model and when in doubt, check the "photo archives" Edited April 11, 2016 by cjdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88[TK] Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is how I did mine. Trying to replicate the Tantive IV armor. It is quiet comfotable. And looks very authentic IMHO. Saludis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
