EliZetzsche Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I am in need of some. I'm also 13. I have been in a star wars parade and love star wars a lot. I am wanting armor bigger than my current size (5' 7")? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi Eli! Purchasing a set of quality armor can be an expensive undertaking. Even a used set can often run $800.00 or more, and it needs to be fitted to the wearer, plus there is the cost of boots, under-suit, etc. My advice would be to head over to the Galactic Academy (link here), which is part of the 501st Legion and a safe place for Star Wars fans under 18 to get lots of info. about costuming Since you still have a lot of growing to do I wouldn't sink a lot of money on anything right now as you will outgrow it, but you can start saving up, future Stormtrooper! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgoh0nk[TK] Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 If you're really willing to sink some money and time, I would buy from a good vendor that may also sell you by the part later in the future. You might be able to build a suit that fits you now, and as you grow, update the suit by modding or purchasing a new piece. Just be aware that sometimes the plastics may differ in color, usually not by much if from the same vendor. I would start off reading these stickied posts: Feel free to ask questions; there's a lot to take in on this site, sometimes it might just take a person to point you to the right areas to discover more info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hello and welcome aboard, this isn't a cheap hobby and old armor doesn't come up too often, many turn their old armor into Sandtroopers or Deathtroopers. Your height would be an issue for already built armor, you don't see many come up for sale of that height. Here are some great build threads showing modifications for shorter troopers. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38416-crickets-rs-stunt-build-for-the-vertically-challenged/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38842-fragarocks-rs-stunt-build-not-to-scale/ Here is a great all in one resource thread for everything needed to build a Stormtrooepr Research is the key, good luck you have some reading ahead of you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
