Shadow trooper advice

[Julian]

I finally tried on my shadow trooper for the first time and realized it doesn't fit too well. I have very limited movement in the legs and arms and my cod plates don't seem to sit right. I would love any pointers and advice you all might have.

You could trim about a half inch to an inch off the forearms. Like the left arm, the right bicep piece should feed up under the shoulder armor. You could try shortening any strap used there.  Your thigh armor looks like you could try to have them sit high up on your leg. Shorten those straps and use a belt to hold them up.

The thighs are attached to the belt but they get pulled down. They are attached with snaps and elastic bands but im not sure if I should change that at all. Or maybe even cut the thigh armor?

I second what @DarthBobo said, that is good advice.

A way you could bring the thighs up is to convert the snaps over to Velcro or something like that so that it is more adjustable. If you are going to trim most people trim from the top part of the thigh following the curve of it around taking off a little at the time. As mentioned before, that right bicep should be under the shoulder armor. If you are going to trim off the forearm start at the wrist rather than at the elbow.
