First timer shadow build

[Bleach Trooper]

Trying my first shadow storm trooper build. So far so good. Taking longer than I like but I’m trying not to mess anything up!

 

So many questions as I go, still learning how to use forums before asking stupid questions. I’m probably annoying Ukswrath already! Sorry dude!

 

Anyway here’s some photos I have been compiling.

 

More to come as I go.

The faces make this so much more entertaining ?

Kit looks Anovos yes?  You won't find much better build advice than from @ukswrath and knowing him...you're prob not annoying him at all.  Tremendous and self-less resource.

No such thing as a stupid question...better to ask than make a mistake that's so much more difficult to repair.

Yes anovos. I am getting very frustrated with this damned thing! Every new thing I go to work on seems waaaay to big for me and basically too flat. I tried to do a test fit today taping everything together and I looked like a kid wearing his dads outfit!

im just going to not look at it for a day or two and try not to think about it. That Irish temper is telling me to burn it all!!!

5’ 8” 150 lbs 

I’m sure I will get it, it just get frustrating. Also hard to figure out where I need to trim especially trying to get things on myself correctly by myself in a mirror. Just gets overwhelming.

Ur not much shorter than me (I'm 5'9"/5'10") but a heckuva lot thinner (190 lbs).  Need to borrow some of my weight?  It's tough to tell with tape because elastic tends to pull stuff in tighter once it's all connected.

I can assist on this as well as my shadow is Anovos and I've done another Anovos stormtrooper as well (and have 1 in a box still for a clean I'm doing, don't tell my gf). 

Where are you having the most issues with the size at? You may want to try it with the undersuit on and see how it looks too as that'll fill it out a bit. I don't think you'll ever get quite to the "tight" that you are looking for but everything is fixable and adjustable if you are using E6000 glue ?

By the way I'm like 6' 2" and 150 pounds as well, so I know the feeling.
