The ANH Stormtrooper armor isn't built with much sitting down in mind, I'm not sure with the FOTK but generally if you want to sit in a TK armor, you'd have to have that in mind when building it and adjusting what you can to make it possible! We have a few ANH Stormtroopers that have tweaked their armor so that they are able to sit down with it, but I'd say sitting down isn't a TKs best skill You'd need some extra work to make it happen! Some TKs can sit down just because of how the armor fits them, but some of us have just accepted our fates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedikiller2024 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 The reason why I ask is because after something I always have to sit down due to my disability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Paul used to call it his superflex or similar & yes it was sooooo flexy, I just figured it might help Kian out with the requirements on comfort? good luck Kian, maybe an alternative & very comfortable Trooper could be an option? like biker scout! those guys are lucky enough to sit down heaps & still look very cool.

Jedikiller2024 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Would this count as approved ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has not been a CRL made for this costume (animated version), someone has to build one first, supply all images needed and also help with the text of the CRL. There is a concept trooper which is similar https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_concept You can find a list of FISD CRL Costumes here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL Info on creation costume CRL's here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLGuide Lando started work on 3D printing one but has not finished as yet, his build is here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TikiTechie[TK] Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 @Jedikiller2024 Kian be sure to check out the Mountain Garrison https://www.mg501.com/, I think you would be in the Mile High Squad. If you join that forum you can find out more locally. Also, if you use facebook, look up Mountain Garrison and you should find the build group that can also help you get started. I am starting on a FOTK right now and will probably end up with the same questions eventually. As for glasses, I wear them but take them off with my bucket on. If you really can't see well, I guess contacts? I am sure someone in the forums has a better answer than mine. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 I know a few members with old pairs of glasses who remove the arms then use elastic to keep them on, gives you a touch more space to play with. Also note some helmets are bigger than others so take that into consideration when purchasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is around -1 ish so I just put up with rubbish vision. Really the best option, if you can, is contacts. I did try this but I didn't get on with getting them in and out. Last is what Glen is suggesting, get a spare frame with the correct prescription. Remove the arms and mount this inside the helmet. If you have a small head you might be able to get the helmet on with normal glasses but I can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
