Looking for input from our short and tall TB's

[KaiserW]

I was looking to start my son's build first, this way I can learn on his build, which is not as critical.

Only problem I'm running into is the Rottie (WTF) build seems to be right on the cusp of being too small for my son, plus I want him to be able to enjoy it for a bit, before he grows out of it. So I am somewhat starting over on my research here and am shifting gears to research an adult armor and trim to fit my son so he has some room to grow.

He is already 4'11" and due for a growth spurt any week now.

 

That being said any input from our shorter members on how easily I can modify a kit to fit?

 

 

On a side note, I haven't started researching my build yet, will I have any luck finding/modding a kit to fit me at 6'4"?

 

Thanks

Well my daughter has a wtf kit and she's 5'5" and it fits good. There's a couple of kits that are adult sized but can be trimmed to fit. Your self you wanna go SC I use SC and I'm about the same height as you.

Here's one that might help you out. Very interesting.

Ok, I may persure the WTF set still, I just saw a few builds on kids around 4'10" or so and the chest piece looked tight/small and my son is long and lanky

 

And thanks for re-affirming the SC set, that's the one I was looking at. You get the helmet there too? My head is a bit large.

And my noobness does not afford me the rights yet to view the submission thread

One of the things you might run into in trimming down adult armor is losing shape and detail especially in the knees, forearms, and biceps. They're actually not all that big even in adult armor and if you trim too much away, it could end up looking way off.

 

I have heard tell of smaller adults even using WTF armor. That's one of the neat things about the Scout... It's very friendly to lots of body types when compared to a regular Stormtrooper.

As for 6'4, we have a few scouts who moonlight as Vader and Wookiees so you'll be fine

[KaiserW]

Vader is on my list, but the TB will be cheaper and get me started

[Stroker]

If he's long and lanky the wtf set will work fine. My kid is built the same way. I know a couple of other ladies my wife is friends with and they use Walters kits.

Nice, thanks much guys. Going to place the Kids TB order in June when we get back from Disney. Gotta get the approval from SWMBO.

 

The WTF kit comes with the snout, t-bits and tank grieble right? What about the hose for the Detonator? I'm sure this is all in the sales thread, but for some reason I'm restricted still?

Yes it's all included. If you have Facebook just hit him up there. You'll more than likely get a faster response via Facebook.

W.T.F. on fb. He's got a good, helpful crew there.

[KaiserW]

Yeah I'm on there (FB), he and Pedro are going into super pull mode, so not answering PM's till the evening

I'll message Ericia or Walter tonight for final details then.

Was just coming here to kinda introduce myself and keep the load off the WTF guys, they seem a bit busy.

Walt is a great guy and doing some awesome things for the 501st!
