Copper[TK] Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 So, I've read a bunch of posts about armor and how the originals were made for 5'10" actors. I've looked at submissions for EIB and Centurion approval, and asked several people about different armors. Finally, I'll post my question here: Which armor is the best fit for a 6'3" (190cm) 190 pound guy? I'm looking for a kit to build myself and, like everybody else, want it to look as good as possible with no gaps. Any help is appreciated. If you have photos of your own kit and you're about my size, I'd love to take a look. Feel free to send me a message or post to the board. Thanks for all your help!!! -Copper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger[IPM] Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 6’3”? Go Vader! I think a lot of taller/bigger guys go RT-Mod. If you are skilled with shimming/ABS paste you can use pretty much anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magni[TK] Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 RT would work for you. I believe you should look at some (TM)EIB application's with your height and see how they look. Weight isn't your problem I'm guessing. I have RT for the width I'm broad shouldered at can say Rob makes a great sturdy kit and his helmet is made bigger to match armor better. I don't own TM, Yet. But will one day as it is a killer set. I've drooled up close. I think he offers taller shins but I'm not 100% on that. So don't hold me over a Sarlac Pit. Either way, Good Luck Future Trooper!

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 TM has some XL shins for the taller troopers. Should be enough for you if you're "only" 190 cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikidymac[TK] Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well, I am 6’3” and 195 lbs but thin to average build. I went with the first wave Anovos and couldn’t be happier. I received approval on the first attempt and can easily get EIB and Centurion if I order more of Just Joseph’s hand guards. The shins are a tad short but nothing major.

GodOfLibra[TK] Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 That’s the final resoult of my TM, with the longer shins, and the thigs at the maximun on top, no black on front, and a new happy trooperInviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
