SeanTX Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 So I've read this a couple times so I'm sorry if I missed it. The comparison photos are excellent. But is there a break down of what mods or problems are associated with each armor? For Instance coming from the TK world I got Trooper Master armor cause it was what I first found available (which I love) But it was too late and took a lot of digging to learn the breast plate wasn't approvable for Centurion. So I guess a better way of saying is there a scale or notes on each armor which requires the least modification to make Lancer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones of those listed that I would say wouldn't qualify for Lancer without replacing some parts would be Kropserkel and WTF. All the other armors would only need minor adjustment (like for instance, trimming the shoulder bells a bit). RS Props and CFO/Strider are your most accurate kits and would need the least amount of work. Keep in mind, this is really a soft costume, there's not a whole lot that can go wrong with a piece of the armor unless it's just so wildly off from the screen used that it would not qualify for L2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTX Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks @BikerScout007 . I figured it might just come down to trimming bit thank you for assuring me it wasn't going to be a $100 mistake. Buy once Cry once is a pretty good philosophy sometimes. I've also seen a lot of "Will this helmet fit" questions and the answer always seems to be yes. since this is again a mostly soft parts kit are all the armor sets forgiving enough for all size people? Excluding children. And no suit is better for those of us greater than 6 feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excluding children. And no suit is better for those of us greater than 6 feet? Since the armor is all held on with strapping, it's highly adjustable. Height doesn't really come into play, unless you are very short. A lot of people get hung up on the size of the armor but it's the rare person who has armor that is too small for them. What we mostly deal with are people with armor that is way too big. Kropserkel and WTF sets have this problem very often. For instance the chest armor -- that's a bit of a misnomer as the armor doesn't cover your chest. It should come down to the bottom of your pectorals and that's it. The rest of the chest is covered by soft goods. Check out this thread to get an idea on proportions: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/19967-soft-parts-best-practices/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiker Scout Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Great article for armor comparison. Leaning towards the Studio creations based on accuracy and cost. However I do notice that the wearers that are slightly larger look less movie accurate. So I guess that means I gotta hit the gym and the sewing machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
