I have an issue with armor being too small
can someone point me in the right direction of someone that makes larger size chest armor
my chest is 46" but I think I would also need 15" from top of chest armor to bottom of of belly piece
any help would be greatly appreciated
hear is my Jango which you can see is small and way to short of meeting up with the girthbelt
i have tried pulling up the belt to get close but that is a temp fix and still short

Do you know who made your current armor?

Darn, his armor is great.

You could slightly increase your gaps from the neck armor for the left and right chest plates and and also increas the gap for the belly armor. Not ideal, but could help the overall balance of your rig. Not everyone is built like Temurea, he is reported to be 5'7" and you look to be taller and more slender than him, so slight mods might have to be made.

The only larger scaled armor I know of is RKD's Boba vacuum formed armor V2.1.

Hope someone has a better option for you.

I agree that the armor could be spaced farther apart. I think mine is about 1" between the plates. I'm only 5'9" but I have a long torso. Increasing that distance even an 1/8" will make a difference. The other thing is your belts and cod piece are hanging low. Bringing those up will make a huge difference. I have my holster rig connected permanently to my cod and the ammo and braided belt are connected together. I use webbing straps to connect the cod/ holsters to my jetpack harness and that serves two purposes, it keeps the cod / holsters up in the right position and balances out the weight of the jetpack to keep it from sliding down my back. The keep on the holster rig keeps the ammo/ braided rig from sliding down.

Take a look at Seekers V3 harness setup and you will see the cod connector straps.

How tall are you and how wide/tall is your girth belt? I also agree the armor could use more spacing.

Cruzer!
im 5'1" 220lbs
i think my torso is longer than most , I've tried hiking the belt up but the it just doesn't feel right, I did order the harness that attaches to the belt to help keep it in place , the belt is 5" wide
i measured what I believe will make a good fit for the chest armor
top chest 14" wide
bottom of ab plate 12" wide
height of chest armor including gaps 15", this is measured from the top of the chest plate to the bottom of the ab plate,
I'm actually starting my first attempt at sintra and painting
but I would jump at the chance if you would build it so it would match my other cruzer armor parts

I have a longer torso as well and I needed to compensate to get my armor to look right. The braided belt has to be just below the ab plate so I had to hike everything up, even the cod. You may need to trim the cod to achieve this. You could also add one or two more strands to your braided belt and get Cruzer's larger sized ammo belt to fit your height. Those few tricks will help you get the look you are after.

While I'm waiting on my new harness to help raise the belt and decrease the gap I'm trying out some Sintra that I custom cut to my size and just finished forming it , I'll post pics if anyone is interest of the process and when I finish paint, fingers crossedt

I seem to remember that tubachris was beginning work on making a proportionately larger jango available a couple years back.

Overall a much better looking fit now
going to be adding a few more snaps and a little more bending
then it's off to weathering, much closer to complete now but we all know it never ends lol
