Davian Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 I apologise if this has been asked a gazillion times. I could not find anything with a forum search. I am looking for a supplier that makes builds for short people 5'4" other than Anovos which I already know about. I was looking for something of a similar quality to an AM2 build, but have since found out I may be too short for that suit. Thanks in advance! Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Any kit will do, you'll just have to cut it down some. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
dejango[TK] Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 I know some kits like RS tend to run larger, but some others have easily modified armor that can be made for smaller troopers 1 Quote
Davian Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Any kit will do, you'll just have to cut it down some. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk OK thanks. I just assumed some would look a bit weird if they were over trimmed. I'd rather buy from a manufacturer that makes a build that looks like it was meant to fit me properly Edited June 28, 2016 by Davian Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 I have fount ATA to be quite short. Shorter than Anovos. 1 Quote
Davian Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 I have fount ATA to be quite short. Shorter than Anovos. Thank you. You've got an AM2 haven't you? Do you have a link to any of your build threads? I wanted to see how much trimming you needed to do. Thanks! Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 I've built AM1, AP, TMC, multiple ATAs and a few more. At 5 foot 4 I think trimming down an ATA is your best bet. Quote
kman[TK] Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Doesn't Walt's Trooper Factory (WTF) also make suits for smaller troopers? Or just really small? (kid sized) Quote
Kredal[TK] Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Don't get an AM2 or RT-Mod for anyone smaller than average (in any dimension).... You'll end up with enough leftover plastic to melt down and make a whole second suit! Walt's child armor is meant for kids, but there have been cases of people mixing and matching the kid suit and the adult suit to make a complete set that fits. Quote
ABS80 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) AP and ATA come from same source so both are pretty much the same size, the AP you can custom fit to your waist size perfectly without shimming;) Edited June 28, 2016 by ABS80 2 Quote
sylverbard[TK] Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 Weve got ap and ata troopers in our 5 5 troopers...all seem to fit well. Anything else should work fine but the dangers of trimming are you lose the distinctive tk focus points. Thigh lines. Number of forearm indents. Ab chest ratio. Etc. Quote
troopermaster Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 AP, ATA and SDS are the shortest of the adult kits. Here is a photo of a movie sized TM thigh next to an SDS (SDS cast from AP/GF) Quote
Vette11 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 Wendy, I am 5'5" and went with AP for my kit. I had to do only a little trimming on the arms and legs and it fits really good and I am very happy with it. Mark is great to work with as well. Quote
