Shoretrooper for the smaller frame

[Wynterhawk]

Hi all.

 

At 5'4 - (chest 34, waist 30) it seems that the first question that always comes to mind is 'how much trimming do I need to do to make this fit?' I know there are a few Shoretrooper kits out there, but any recommendations as to what would be more appropriate for the smaller trooper? I heard Backstage Props might do the trick, but I wanted some more input.

 

 

 

Thanks!

I'm 5'7 and I have a BSP kit. I had to reduce the size of the arm and leg parts, and the ab section to get a decent fit. Check out my WIP here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=16967

 

I think the biggest challenge will be the chest/back. Because of the design there really isn't room for trimming those. So hopefully they will not overlap the ab section too much. You might have to play with the height of the ab section a bit. I think the BSP kit is the smallest available. Another option would be a 3D printed armor, or only those parts that are really too big.

Thanks for that. I'm actually reading through your build right now

BSP seems very workable There is so much room in the calves biceps and forearms that trimming it down shouldn't be too difficult.

Just remember to remove the double diagonal stripe on the side abb section
