Armor looks TOO small, close up the back of the vest as well..
do you have a ruler to help with scale?
Can you tape it(armor) to the vest then wear it ... take a pic then we may be able to help.
Here are 3 more pictures, I don't have a measuring tape but I took a picture of it on lined paper
-Bill
BTW it's only taped...
Yep it's too small for your frame... but just a touch, it also looks narrow, the back plate is for sure to narrow, can you tighten the vest a bit more?
I'll measure my FP armor, once I get home, but maybe someone can chime in before then, maybe you can play around and reposition the plates?!?
the vest also looks too long but that can be changed once you set the armor.

Hmmm...yeah, it looks pretty small. Bummer!!
I had this problem with some armor too. I'm about 6' w/ a 52" chest. I ended up using WOF's XL templates to make mine. They seem just about right.
Here is a pic of how i think it should look like!
Left is "after", right is "before"
just to give you an Idea..
i guess the question is "how big are you"
there's no question that it looks too small, but it's more a question of whether the plates are movie sized and you need bigger, or if the plates are tiny.
I am 6'2 190LBS, he was supposed to send me Large...
Hey Bill
Here is some pics of my FP V.3
I also noticed your collar plate has room for only one stud a side.
and your decal on the plate may be used for scale Ref. to mine.
hope it helps, It looks like you may need to get a new set OR modifie your set. Sintra and bondo..
It's not easy to gauge size thru pics... thats why it took me 10yrs to wait till I thought the Boba Fett props, that ppl sold were correct(or close to), then I bought Items last year and got it done.
It was hard to sit out of the first few FP armor runs BUT I'm glad I did..
you just have to do the same.. I did see a few FP parts in the cargo hold.
start there OR if your skilled you can scratch build a set, I don't think you'll be ready for halloween though.. but thats a good think IMO, you can make a better suit.
welcome to the never ending Boba Fett costume.

Hey Andy,
I see you have a lot of yellow in the top dent on your ab plate...it that intentional?
looks great bud!
Nice armour and paint GCNgamer!
haha, I thought I put masking fluid there, I plan to fix it though.Originally Posted by Sixxgunn13
Thanks
Man... That makes me mad. Gabriel is not getting back to me either. Anyone suggest a good armor source? That I can get some asap?
Thanks for all your help guy's I really appreciate it.
Who is this person?
Only person Id buy from is FP(Chris)
or BobaMaker.
Look in the Cargo Hold... I see a few ppl selling FP armor. jump in on it if you can.. then sell your set on Ebay.
Thats what the TDH is all about Bill..
Plus it's always a pleasure to help a fellow Canadian.

Gabriel is with Evolution Toys. If anyone has good armor for sale contact me billconnelly@gmail.com with pictures
Hey Sixx, Where in Canada r u?
Winnipeg, I posted that above somewhere...lol.
And post a WTB thread in the Cargo Hold...
you have a better chance getting armor there than posting here.
Sorry missed that.. Thanks again for your help. I'm off hunting Deer scum this weekend.
It looks to small in my opinion considering your size I'm having the same problem. Whats the correct ratio?
WAY too small.
Hi Bill
Im working in your new armor and backplate ... my standart L size is for a person who high is 1,80 mts aprox. ... but i see that some persons are more higher or bigger .. for this i make the new mold to fit at this requeriments ... i contact you as usually by mail when the new set is ready (i asume in this week) ... always i want that all are happy with my items .-
Thanks
Wow, that's pretty good service. Nice to have you on the board Gabriel.
So while we are talking about armor size....
What's the best armor for the larger guys? I'm talking 6'3 250ish guys....
BobaMaker! Fettpride! Wickedbeard! to name a few...that should get ya going, DN
One could argue that the armour size that is made by the makers that big D suggested, is for the screen used armour? IF you feel that you need bigger armour then I can only suggest that you'd have to make it yourself? Altho Wickebeard could possibly work with your dimensions?
BobaMaker!!!!!! Fettpride!!!!!!These are people that have the best armor in my opinion, BOBAMARKER has a service of painting incredible, really very advisable !!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck friend
