....And one for the Mrs.!

[TylerJohnsonSD]

Hey all -

Future TB here, currently putting all my printed items together for my first build. 

However, now that I finished the prints.... I want to make more!  And what's great is that my lady wants to be a part of this as well and wants to be a matching TB!     ("Couple goals"? maybe....  )

My QUESTION IS - Because she is a slightly smaller and a petit build, can I size down the parts, to fit her body?  Or do all parts need to be to scale?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tyler and welcome to the Pathfinders! You can scale down the armor for specific people as long as the look is maintained. No body type is the same so folks will have to trim here and there to get it all to fit them. As I mentioned as long as the CRL is followed you shouldn’t have any issues. Best of luck!

Yes of course, as long as the proportions are correct.

@MrPoopie did the same thing for @MrsPoopie

Parts can be scaled just don't go crazy with them and make sure you scale proportionally otherwise certain dimensions will be stretched and no longer look correct. The armor I printed for @MrsPoopie was mostly scaled between 92-95%. The easiest way to do this is either use software such as ArmorSmith or just print out a simple part like the bicep or forearm first and see how it goes. You'll want to look at each part individually, don't just scale the whole set at the same level. We ran into this issue with the belt. An example was having women's hips made it so that the belt was fine at 100% but the chest and arms needed to be smaller.

Give me a shout if you have any questions. We're also holding a Virtual Armor Party this Saturday (See Announcements) and you're welcome to join and see some of her armor.

Yes, perfect!    I was hoping that 95% would work, for the extremities.   She definitely has those "child-bearing" hips, so I'll keep the belt at 100%.  Thanks for the tip
