Tall trooper

[Adoo]

Hi guys

I'm needing longer thigh and calf armour, width of my fx is okay. It's just i'm 6 foot 3 and wanna get rid of all the black undersuit showing on my knees and upper thighs.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Adam

RT-Mod is for the taller trooper or so i'm told. I'm still quite new but there worth a go.

Even with RT Mod, you won't be able to entirely cover the black showing at the knees and hips. TK armor is optimized for troopers who are 5'9" or so. For taller guys (like myself), about the best you can do is center the thigh armor on your leg so that you split the difference.

 

There was a guy here who was experimenting with modding FX thighs to make them longer, but I haven't heard anything recent. If you can find a couple of old spares, you may be able to cut them up and combine them as an experiment.

Thanks Fellas.

I'm 5'9" (5'10" with my helmet on ) so if I'm the optimal height for a stormtrooper, how come people frequently use the "aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" line on me all of the time?

I have screenaccurate armor and i am 6.2..looks good on me if you compare to the fx i had before.

I agree that screen-accurate is a better fit for thin (by American norms) troopers, but taller troopers will still have the same issue with excess black showing at the knees, hips, or both.

Yup, I'm one of them. Perhaps some day AM (nee FX) or RT will make "tall" parts like KW did with his clones. Another 1.5" to the shins/thighs should do it, or at least 1".

i am the same height, and get the same thing, sometimes it urks me too ...maybe they think stormtroopers are supposed to be tall for some reason <_<
