hello everyone. this is my first post in this forum. i've occasionally stopped by the MEPD site since i've wanted to put together a set of sandtrooper gear for some time. now i'm finally searching for a set to buy and was hoping for some pointers.
i found the set offered by Shepperton Design Studios, and it was quite beautiful, but 1) i cant afford it, and 2) i'd rather build it myself - i like a good project.
my criteria is this:
i want it to be the most accurate i can get my hands on
i want it to be of high quality with nice clean edges on the detailing
and finally - it has to fit me. my problem is i am about 5'9" and weight just over 115 pounds. while my shoulders are average size, my bone structure in my arms and legs is pretty small as well. i don't want to be swimming in it and i don't want the armor to look anorexic or something either. does this put me into the noncom catagory?
please offer recommendations and advice. thank you very much!
