PiglinBrute87 Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 (edited) Hello, I'm currently waiting for my Walt's Trooper Factory stunt TK (that will be ready to wear) and I have a few questions and concerns. I'm a male with a small frame and is skinny, so it's been a bit of a struggle to find the under suit that would fit my small frame. My mother found one, but it's a child sized one, you guys know where I can get the under suit that is NOT a child size? (Yes I'm also gonna be a short stormtooper haha) Edit: Clarifying that I’m not a child, I’m just a small grown Asian man. Is there anything important I need to know regarding my stormtrooper armor? Is it true that dish gloves could be used as the gloves part for stormtroopers and where can I find good stormtrooper gloves? Last question, I found a pair of white boots that is perfect for the stormtrooper and the only issue is the top part where it sits near the ankle is black, do you think painting it white would be 501st approvable? Because I can't find anywhere else good to but stormtrooper boots. Thanks. Edited January 4 by PiglinBrute87 To clarify something. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 Some great build for those of a skinnier stature. Most of us use compression sports wear, you may be able to find them local to you in a sporting store. 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/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/ Be careful with boots and make sure the ankle section is quite high or they will come out from under your shins when moving. Also make sure there is no extra stitching on the boots, references here You can find boots from https://keeptrooping.com/ https://keeptrooping.com/product/421-classic-white/ They also do undersuits and gloves https://keeptrooping.com/product/imperial-undersuit/ https://keeptrooping.com/product/ottk-gloves-anh/ Rubber gloves I can find at my local supermarket You can also find some things on Trooperbay https://trooperbay.com/product-category/headgear-neck-seals-undersuits/ This thread may also be of help with other information 1 Quote

Initially, if you want more comfortable gloves, you can look for Nomex flight gloves (Amazon link) They are a lot more comfortable than rubber. Rubber is necessary for higher level approvals though, so it doesn't hurt to have both. But wearing rubber gloves in the summertime is unpleasant imo. You should post photos of anything you have questions on, like the shoes. It's hard to make suggestions without seeing those first. I second the mention of KeepTrooping for their boots. I am going on 3 years with my first pair and they still look and fit great. I tried to use a generic pair of boots from Amazon at first and they didn't work as they were too low and popped out from underneath. 1 Quote

Thank you for the information about the gloves, I think I’ll get both (I don’t really know if my WTF trooper would qualify for higher levels). I will certainly post images next time. 1 Quote
