mhunt16 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Newb here. I have seen some topics about bellies (which I do kinda have) but nothing about height. I'm 6'5" and desperatly want to aquire some ANH armor but most people I talk to say 6'2" is the max. Anyone know how to resolve this. I would love a Darth Vader later, but childhood dreams and all.... Quote
Dmian Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Hi Michael, welcome to the FISD! Don't you worry, height is not a problem really. It's all in how you fix your armor to suit you. And you'll find all the help you need here. Cheers. Quote
bluehickey Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Wow, 6'5" is tall, just make sure when you are in armor to not stand too close to Vader and dwarf him! It doesn't really matter whether you are 7' or 5' tall, when kids are looking at you, everyone is taller than them, they'll still be impressed! Quote
Dargas[501st] Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 regarding armor.... i guess FX might be the best for you my friend. it can be easily made to fit big guys like yourself! dude we gotta see you in a DV suit! Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 The tallest guy I've ever seen in a TK was around your height. You'll have to accept a lot of black undersuit showing, especially at the knees, hips, and elbows, but it can be done. Quote
Dargas[501st] Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 yeah! the "Tall Guy" i met him in C4... tallest guy I´ve ever met, besides Darth Marcus! Quote

Actually I find that RT is best for taller troopers, especially in the thighs. Quote
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 And dont forget that u can aways add shims on the thighs, to make them higher and wider and renforce on the in side, bondo and sand and paint to hide the extra armor. Quote
Boklast[501st] Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 I'm 6'4" and weigh 225. I went with RT because of the larger parts and it is more accurate. ATA might work too and it is also accurate, I believe he is over 6'. Quote
Terry19D Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 I'm 6'3" and I also went with RT. It definitely does fit taller folks better than any other armor I have had (FX & AP), but it's also built for a larger build than I have so I've had to pad it up in a few places to get it to fit right. Still, I love it. Quote
TrooperMike Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Hey man...everything I have researched points towards the RT-Mod for troopers on the larger/taller side. Plus he's an awesome guy to deal with! Good luck. Mike T. Charities Rule! Quote
Agent RayBans Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 I have RT-Mod and I recommended it! Granted I am only 5'8 so I had to do some trimming, but the quality of the armor is definitely worth it! Quote
inPhilm Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 I'm 6' 3", I have decided to go with RT Mod too. BTW what are some of the taller trooper's inseams, in jeans say? I'm a good 35.5" Quote
