Firstly, I couldn't find a section which better suited this question, which is why I am posting it here.
Basically my question is as follows:
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what my next project will be. I have already started a Fett, which was the first set of armor I wanted to acquire back in High School. At the time I didn't feel up to the challenge and chose to go, at that time, with a biker scout instead. My second project was Darth Revan, which turned out very well.
I feel I am finally at a point where I can gather, assemble and maintain a set of Boba Fett armor. My dilema, however, is this that I no longer am certain about whether I should carry on with Fett. I am 6'3 3/4 inches tall. Needless to say thats a bit tall for Fett, and a Scout for that matter, which I get commented on frequently. Albeit I always get compliments on the scout, which I take much pride in, since, even though I am taller than the average scout, I personally believe it is much more accurate than most others, and I always make sure that I am presenting myself as "true to life" as possible. However, at the same time I have begun to consider whether or not I want that to be what people notice. I have a different project I have been planning that better suits my height..and has only been done by one individual that I know of, but not a single one in the 501st yet... I want to know where to focus my efforts, since time will be extremely limited with my admission to West Point this summer...is it worth focusing on Fett?
I guess what I am asking (sorry for dragging it out) is what the TDH thinks about height?? Is there anyone on the boards who understands my dilema? What are your thoughts, and for anyone who is or has seen a "taller" Fett...has it taken away from the overall presentation?
Thanks
