Question about KST armor

[Guest pq higgins]

I've really been leaning towards doing this armor... it was between this or galactic marine, and after much thought, I found myself coming back here.

 

My only concern after talking to mrbungle is that the armor won't look "right" on me. I'm 6'2" and about 220ish... and for the sake of giving you an idea of how I'm built... I've got a 34-36" waist and a 45-46" chest. Not barrel chested really, just broad in the back and shoulders. I built an OSCS shocktrooper and it looks great on... just uncomfortable to troop in if I have to do a lot of walking. I also have a TX that is an FX kit... much more comfortable, but certain areas (mostly the back plate) just don't look right. For the OSCS I got a tall kit and didn't have to do any trimming on pieces other than for the seamless look.

 

So my question is whether there are any troopers out there about my size that have this, and how it fits them? I obviously don't want to drop the money if no matter what I do to it it won't look good. In the Midwest Garrison we have a bunch of scout troopers who would let me try on their armor to get an idea of how it would look, but I also know there are a bunch of different makers of the scout armor, and that some are bigger or smaller than others. So does anyone have a set of scout armor AND mrbungle's KST armor that could give me an idea of how they compare in size? I know they aren't the same armor, and that there are more than a couple of differences, but mainly just to get an idea.

 

If I do this I am going to sell my completed Shocktrooper head to toe to finance it, and as I said, would hate to drop the cash only to be disappointed, not with the armor, but with how it fits... near as I can tell, mrbungle's stuff looks fantastic.

 

Thanks in advance!
