Thanks Boozel! That does help! So the RT armor is acceptable for a TD? I am thinking I wouldn't come close to fitting the FX. Thanks again! Very helpful!

Thanks for the tips Nico! My other problem I think will be to try and find a bucket that will fit my fat head! Not sure what is bigger, and looks accurate. I know there are a lot of good people here with excellent intel I can get from them

Hey there all you Sandies! I have been away for a while taking care of life stuff. I posted on here a long time ago about wanting to become a Sandtrooper, but I have no idea where that thread it. I think it was from a year or so ago. So here I am again So please bear with me. My interest has grown since last time I was on here. Last year, I got to meet Anthony Forrest for the first time! This guy is a riot!! He sat at our 501st table during Fan Expo and signed autographs the whole time! Awesome guy! While he was there, I kept looking at all the promo stuff he had on display. So it got me thinking about doing this costume. But then I said to myself....Self, how would you look in Sandtrooper armor? Would it fit right and look good? I asked myself these very important questions because, first, I am 6'4. And second, I am around 280, but not a fat 280, just big boned. So, I would like to know...are there any other troops in my position? How does the armor look on you? Any chance of posting some pics? I know I probably shouldn't ask, but what armor would work best for my size? I want to to look good, not goofy. I am really interested in doing this costume. Any help, advice and such will be VERY helpful! Thanks a million! Troop on! Elijah - SL-1922

Afternoon troops. My name is Elijah. My ID is SL-1922 of the 501st Legion. I came on here to learn more about the Sandtrooper. Right now I am in the process of working on a Commander Bly. But I was also thinking of possibly doing a TD. However, I do have one minor problem....I am 6'4, and about 295 lbs. I may have a problem with this costume due to my size, but I want to learn if I can do it! Don't be suprised if I bug you for tips in the future Troop On!
