troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 As far as I know, RS uses superglue so removing the strips will be very difficult. Are the thighs too big or too narrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Troopermaster, They use all the metrials that was from the movies. They are screen acruite so what ever they used in the movie they most likly use it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the thighs too big or too narrow? They are a bit too wide. Not a lot. 3/4 - 1 inch maybe.( the gap is three/four fingers).

Alay[TK] Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Honestly they don't look awful. You might want to just put some padding inside the thighs to fill the gap rather than resizing them if it's not too too big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They felt a little wobly, but looking at the pictures they look fine. I Think I will take your advice, and just give them a tweek with some padding.

Alay[TK] Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Good place to start anyways! Do them with velcro so you can remove it if you end up needing to cut some size off them Let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I will ask them but they are the only one that has the original modings of the storm trooper Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yes they are. And did you know I supplied several missing parts of the costume and Rob sculpted some too? So not completely original screen accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Leakey Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Not all but they sure look mighty fine, if it is supper glued would that effect me getting into and advancing the 501st Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 They are a bit too wide. Not a lot. 3/4 - 1 inch maybe.( the gap is three/four fingers). You want some wiggle room in the thighs. They should be able to slide up and down your legs freely as you walk. Taking them apart would be a lot of work so as already suggested, some slight padding should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use any glue you like to assemble the armour. It's what it looks like from the outside that counts - not from the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't look as wide as they feel. And i hope i am not wrong in that opinion. ( otherwise let me know) It is my first TK, so i don't quite know how it should feel. But i will take of some centimeters in length IOT get them "under" my but piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risvang[501st] Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Latest shot from today. I took of aprox 0,5 cm from the bottom of the shins. Lager i Will try to tackle the length of the thighs. I want to get them free of the but plate, and free of the joints naive the chins. Easy does it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
