quick0817[TK] Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 So I am a short somewhat stalky build I guess and I have an issue with helmet. I have a shirt neck and the helmet seems to catch on shoulder bridges. I can't turn my head much. If I add padding then eyes raise and I really can't see. Any suggestions?

Smiling Fox[TK] Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I am short too. It's one of the many issues we have in armor. I can't turn my head more than a couple of inches and can't look up or down. There really isn't much you can do. About the only thing I can suggest is to adjust the padding to get closer to the mask. That will give you a bit of extra vision. Other than that, hope for a magical growth spurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer6769[501st] Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 What kind of armor is this? I'm short myself and I've had to makes some mods on my armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzarek Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am waiting for my armor kit to arrive and will have to adjust it as I am 5"8 and 180! I am curious which armor you have as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_09[TK] Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 5'7". 172 pounds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What armor do you have. Honestly that's not too short. In the movie the traditional trooper was 5'8" to 5'10" and 170 lbs. could just be the armor you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick0817[TK] Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have ap and after that pic I brought chest down with straps to the ab and cod. I can slightly turn left and right and that's all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionz_09[TK] Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's really not made for crazy amount of movement. Frankenstein motion lol. As long as your feel comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrooPR Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I used to have the same problem. The solution is simple. Smaller Bucket ! I bought the ATA works bucket, and cleaned it up, as it comes pretty rough. The bottom of my bucket no longer strikes my shoulder straps. I 'used to be 5'8" (before my discs got all smooshed after running 6 mi a day. I might be somewhat above 5'7" now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting ANH stunt armor this weekend and the bucket the guy has looked like an EFX helmet. I want to get ANH stunt bucket ASAP that can be approvable. I have thought about resculpting the ear bars and filling in the holes in the back of a Black Series trooper helmet I have and from what I can tell the rest is good on the basic CRL, but I am still unsure if it could get approved for a basic.

illusionz_09[TK] Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Contact the team at "ataworks@yahoo.com"<br><br> They respond pretty quickly to emails. The full armor is a long wait list, but I'm sure a bucket you can get pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
