Hey all, I'm Joker from the UKG & ISS. I'm looking to build a GM but I am a bit anxious as I may have a problem with the armour pieces fitting me as I am very slim, also I am only 5'4. I would appreciate any help/advice  |

I might have a sample or two of my GM helmet for that weekend if you want to check fit. There will be a SGB as well as I think the UKG Gms currently sport SGB lids
hope to see you there

Welcome! Armor shouldn't be a problem. It is just trimming until it fits you. You can take a lot off of it and still look good.
Welcome to the boards!

Welcome Joker. Nice to see the fairer sex getting into the maroon plastic. Being slim shouldn't be a problem. Not that I'd know. Sigh. -slinks off to work out-  |

The Laws chest and back are actually a bit on the small side, so you should be good there. And I am 5' 6" and have not had any problem with this costume because of my height, other than the SGB helmet being too big. PM me with specific concerns if you want.

Thanks guy, I appreciate the warm welcome.
Its more so the armour on the arms, hands and legs. I'm quite slim so I'm a little concerned with it being too long and too wide.

easy peesy Joker - between the GM squad, Darren and myself - we can sort yer out.
too long - we will cut it short
too wide - we will narrow it down
height is the primary thing here; UKG clones are a little shorter than the average US clone . I'm 5'9'', Darrens abt 5'8''.

Hello Joker. Welcome to the 53rd. You have come to the right place on the Galactic Marine build. It one of the toughest troopers to build, but also one of the most rewarding too. There are lots of great resources here and also lots of great Marines here that will help you out. Feel free to go through the older posts are there is lots of good knowledge that is shared. I also suggest to ask questions whenever you have them. We learn a lot from each other. No worries about the being slim part. The GM is suppose to be one of the Sleek slimmer clones (which is tough for me to pull off since I'm a "Big guy"  ). You're in luck, as the UKG guys definite know what they are doing and can help you out. If you have any questions feel free to post, and we look forward to seeing your WIP as it comes along. |
