Donovan Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Hey guys I wanted to ask if its possible to sit down in tk armor? Quote
Chiassontimothy Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I do it and have no problems Quote
TK Keith[TK] Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I do it and have no problems What's your secret? Quote
Chiassontimothy Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I just sit down with a straight posture. Thats all. And just be careful not to just sit down fast. My butt plate is seperate so its easy to adjust when sitting. Quote
Donovan Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Posted October 19, 2012 Chiass Ok so the secret is the buttplate is seperate from the kidney? Quote
Bushido Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I have to rip off my belt, cod, and buttplate in order to sit =\ Quote
Brent Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Go slow. Try it in front of a mirror first so you can figure out how you need to bend your legs. I cracked my cod a bit sitting, so don't be too surprised if you need to do some repairs. Quote
carbonitekid Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 In a screen accurate kit its extreemely tricky. Quote
troopermaster Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I can sit down in my armour quite easily, though it isn't very comfortable. Having the chest choking me is no fun, but it was the same for the actors on screen too so it's all good Edited January 10, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah I'm sitting down quite often at the longer troops. Not too bad. Quote
bjsavage7[TK] Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 I actually sat down for the first time at a troop last night. It was tricky & somebody had to help me up, but I did it! I kept my legs spread out and was careful how I put my weight on my butt plate. Quote
Chiassontimothy Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 @ Donovan, my butt plate is seperated from the kidney plate. when i sit down, I go slow, and turn my thigh pieces outward a bit so I dont get pinched right along the inside of my legs. I put my armor on just a little while ago and sat on my couch to see if I could better explain it. I just take my time, sit up straight and be careful. Stools are better to sit on but they are not always there. Please understand that I am by means not an expert at sitting. I look just as uncomfortable as the folks in the above picture provided by paul. I have never tried to sit on the ground. Only something as in a chair or one of those padded foot rests that are actually seats. 1 Quote
TK Keith[TK] Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 I'll give this a try next time I armor up.... slowly and carefully seem to be the best approach. Quote
Donovan Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 Chiass Ok thx I just wanted to know becolause I was going to wear my armor to school on star wars day once I get it lol but I don't know now, it looks really uncomfortable to be sitting down in for an hour wt a time lol Quote
Darth Hilarious Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Chiass Ok so the secret is the buttplate is seperate from the kidney? Totally not Jabob can sit down on the floor, and his kidney and butt aren't seperate I think the key is having enough movement in your legs I can sit cross-legged like a schoolkid in my kit But I'm not really sure how I just do it Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 Awesome idea, Dustin! It might be a bit difficult to fit one of those in my armor bin, though... Quote
