Welcome, Kian! Glad to have you. Are you taking your interest to the next level and building a TK?

Yes I am interested in Building First Order Stormtrooper armor, the problem is I wear Glasses and I've never made armor before

Lots of info on the FOTK in this area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/218-first-order-battle-group/ and here 

 

 

Good luck with the research

I'd definitely recommend having some contacts on hand for when you wear your helmet - glasses fog up pretty quick without taking extensive measures, though the FOTK helmet has more room in it for airflow than most. You're in the right place for Stormtroopin' though, welcome!

Hello and Welcome to FISD.

Welcome to the FISD. Even if you don’t wear contacts your vision is quite limited in the FOTK armor. TBH I could see shapes well enough that I for a long time just went pretty blind with handlers until I could do contacts.

The problem is that I've never made TK Armor before plus If I join then I would be a danger to myself and others while trooping at an event plus I have A disability.

Hi Kian. Maybe you can start just with a helmet to see, if you can wear it with your glasses.

If not, it would still be a nice display piece. 

[Jedikiller2024]

Why do I get the feeling that I have to attend an event to get help with making the Tk armor?

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

You don't have to attend an event to make TK armor, many don't even see anyone from their garrison until they have built and are 501st approved, this forum has a wealth of knowledge and people ready to help and give feedback.

 

I would suggest though to reach out to your local garrison, some have armor build days and you may be able to see and feel how the helmet or armor pieces will fit and any restrictions.

 

You can search for your local 501st garrison here https://www.501st.com/maps/

I wear glasses and pretty much need to get them into my helmet if I hope to see anything.  It's a bit of struggle with ANH bucket, but I can do it.  Don't let the glasses stop you.  Bart

I have found my Garrison

[FN1313[TK]]

I’ve seen some people who have bought prescription lenses and then they glue them or mount them into the helmet behind the plastic lenses. It’s possible to do, just something worth considering.

The other problem is that I don't have a 3D Printer to make the armor, besides I don't know If I would be able to sit down while in the Armor?

Most don't 3d print armor especially for Original Trilogy armor, they purchase molded abs plastic, you can find recommended suppliers here 

 

 

 

[Jedikiller2024]

I still don't know if TK Armour will still fit me besides I'm 6'2 plus I don't even know if I'll be able to sit down while wearing the Armour.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

There are armor makes for those who are taller, some of us not all can sit, depends how the armor fits you, this may help 

 

Research is the key and nobody walks into this blindly, it is not a cheap hobby to start with but it can be a very rewarding one. I do suggest reaching out to those members close to you, meet up with them at a troop or an armor build day, I'm sure they will be very helpful
