jediknght36 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I saw the kinda tall topic so I thought I would ask if there are any husky troopers out there and how they cope. JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediknght36 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 What do you mean by JK? Just kidding? or are those your initials? Sorry. I haven't had time to make a real sig line yet. The other forum I haunt doesn't allow them. JK for my initials. I am not too worried about my arms and legs: They are muscular but not too large. My mid-section is larger. Comes with Cushing's I suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 As plum, pear shaped trooper, the shims and some sit ups help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usul45 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I am sort of husky but my main problem is shoulder bells, I simply can not get them to fit over my massive shoulders (snicker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drosch Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Not sure how big you are but I'm 6'2 and 235lbs. All of my new AP fits me like a glove. I left a little room in all the pieces when I trimmed it but for the most part used the standard sized strips to close them all up. The only shimming I did was about 3 inches on the side gaps to close them up for EIB status and on the thighs but I have a pretty athletic build and my thighs have always been big. I can't wear pleated dress pants unless they are athletic cut. Hopes this gives you some perspective. I will have my armor done this week and will have pics up shortly.

ObiHahn[TK] Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I'm 1,83 meters and about 100 kg right now, so yeah, bordering on fat. And I still fit into my screen accurate ANH TK. It sure looks bulky but can be pulled off. I used covering strips for all the seams visible on the front view with measurements true to what stukatroopers' flickr tutorial suggested and went with broader covering strips for the rear seams. And I had to shim the side gaps, but only about 5cm on each side. -------- Edited July 23, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknght36 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Republic Commandos armor fits nicely over our larger troopers... Go commando! Looks intresting. Ill check it out, but I think I want to star with a TK. I'm 1,83 meters and about 100 kg right now, so yeah, bordering on fat. And I still fit into my screen accurate ANH TK. It sure looks bulky but can be pulled off.I used covering strips for all the seams visible on the front view with measurements true to what stukatroopers' flickr tutorial suggested and went with broader covering strips for the rear seams. And I had to shim the side gaps, but only about 5cm on each side. Here's how it looks compared to a skinny 1977 trooper: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=8529 You give me hope! Thanks!
