Re: Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

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...

Re: Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

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...

Re: Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

Congratulations on your acceptance into the group as a Snow Trooper! If you need another uniform to wear, I'm sure the Detroit Lions would love to have you join. :lol: Thanks for offering help if I need any...I'll remember that. I'm 6'3, 215lbs, but for Stormtroopers, the research I've done had an &...

Re: Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

Just as an update, I decided on ordering a ANH Stunt Stormtrooper commission build from TM Props and he's supposed to start building it in a couple of weeks! We had a lot of correspondence about my height and the fact that I ultimately want to be able to join the 501st, so the build would need to fi...

Re: Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I have whitearmor.net bookmarked on my browser. :D It seems that fitting taller Stormtroopers is definitely doable. 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...

Re: Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

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...

Aren't you a little tall for a Stormtrooper?

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...
