Madaxeman2[TK] Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Greetings everyone I’ve currently costume ROTJ Fett with UKG. Because if the weather I’m looking into purchasing a TK made by R/S that was cleared by UKG however for trooping on rainy days, I’m a bit taller Than the trooper selling the TK and hoping there are not to many gaps. Especially at the knees I’m due to try it in next week so fingers crossed I can adjust to fit. I know that past clearance is no guarantee of future clearance so in for a penny in for a pound Edited July 27, 2023 by Madaxeman2 Terrible grammar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairy[Staff] Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hello Daz! Hopefullty it works out! You can always try and mess around with the height of the shins and where you have your thighs positioned! I'm positive that you can find a middle ground where it still looks good! How much taller are you than the other trooper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaxeman2[TK] Posted July 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Around four inches but similar waist and chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Four inches is quite a bit, but only a full suit-up will truly tell. Jonatan is on point that leg-piece adjustments may be the key. We’d love to see photos when you get a chance to suit up!Very cool that you have a Fett. Totally understand not wanted to take it out in bad weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaxeman2[TK] Posted July 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Ive seen the guy suited up there is minimal gaps between the shin and thigh and between the top of the thigh and the bottom of the cod piece i'm hoping with some creative spacing i can get it about right im not sure if there is an official limit to the gap im assuming its how the GML perceives it to look , my Fett was cleared back in may i dont want the weathering to get spoiled by rain and I don't want want to mistroops plus TKs are so cool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemi[Staff] Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Congrats, Daz! P.S.: Carlos Parmentier (maybe you know him, he is deaf and more than 2 meters tall, and a great guy), a Vader from your Garrison will be very happy to have tall troopers next to him...

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hi Daz, Welcome to the FISD, sounds like you're off to a decent start. You know the deal with a work in progress having done your Fett, but do keep us in the loop too! Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
