Resizing Mr Poopie Files

[mjt82]

Hey all - First time poster here. I'm not new to armor building, but I'm new to Scout Trooper building.  My first approved costume was a Death Trooper - TX81813 from the Rancor Raiders Garrison in Mississippi!

I'm a bigger human - About 6'3", 240 lbs.  I printed @MrPoopie's chest piece, and it looks obviously too small.  I'm currently printing a 110% scaled version to see how it fits. 

Has anyone up-sized these files?  I'd love to see pics of up-sized armor, if anyone has any!  I think I have a game plan - I assume that I'll want to make sure that all of the parts are up-sized to ensure that the armor is proportionate. 

I've been a Scout Trooper fan since I was a kid!  I'm excited for the build!

Normally I would say get Armorsmith and use that to size it to yourself, but I just checked their website and the link is currently dead.

What I've also done is just concentrate on one piece, like a forearm or something, and then get that sized.  Once you have the percentage to that, apply it to the rest of the gear.

I tried Armor Smith when I was building my Death Trooper, and it was really difficult to get right.  I think the creator has kind of ghosted - From what I understand it hasn't been supported in a couple years.

For the scout, I went with 110% somewhat arbitrarily.  I cut out slices vertically and horizontally to check the fit of the shoulders, biceps, and forearms, and I think that 110% seems to work.  So far I have only printed one half of the chest armor, with the second half underway as I type!  

I'll keep y'all posted!
