My Rubies TK Supreme ROTJ build/mod[*RB]

[JSmails[TK]]

Looking at references, the thigh and shin should just about be touching. 
 

 

I doubt I’ll ever get it that close as I’m limited by the shin having to sit atop the boot. I tried lowering the thigh, but my elastic thigh belt would only let them go down so far. So, I E6000’d some new snaps inside the thigh about 3” up from the previous snap. That should let the thigh go down a bit. I’ll see how that looks tomorrow. 
 

If the thigh goes down, that’ll open up black space at the hips. Somewhere on this costume is going to have more black showing than it should. 
 

Which area of black showing is the least obtrusive? I’ve already seen what having too much black at the knees looks like, and I hated it. Is it better to show more black up by the helmet, at the hips, or at the knees? 
 

Thanks.

Personally I think all you can do is try to equal the gaps between pieces, the armor itself is short and not much you can do about your height.

 

In the end it's totally up to your GML (garrison membership liaison) if they will approve for basic, I would suggest reaching out and see what they say.

I’ve already been approved with the costume. Just trying to make it look “better”, and make it easier to suit up. 
 

A costume is never truly finished. :)
