Just a quick update on my TK armor progress... It looks like my armor should be completed and shipped this week! I can't wait for it to arrive from the UK...hopefully it arrives safely. I ordered what looks to be a good quality boot (had good reviews by other 501st members) on etsy from HandcraftedB...

Looking forward to seeing your progress on the armor. At 6’6” 380lbs I feel your pain! I was just accepted into the group as a SnowTrooper…a little easier to accommodate the size, but still looks a bit tiny on me…is what it is man. If you need any help let me know. I’m currently fabricating several...

Just deciding if I want to do the build or pay someone to do it AND have it pass 501st regulations is where I'm at. I know we have a couple of Stormtroopers...

Thanks for your reply. I'm finding in my research that shimming them to fit taller people is a possibility, so I think there still is hope. Lol. I've seen similar questions asked on Walt's Trooper Factory on Facebook - where they've used shims/extra or scrap ABS plastic to add to the armor pieces an...

I've been in touch with RS Prop Master's about buying a ESB Stormtrooper armor kit. Not sure if I'm going to build it or have it custom built. Anyways, I asked them about the armor fitting me since I'm 6'-2" and have long arms. They responded that the typical Stormtrooper armor is built for som...
