First of all, I'd recommend you avoid originalstormtrooper as that is Andrew Ainsworth's site. See my comments in the post for more info, but I'd definitely recommend you buy armor elsewhere. Helmets are another matter as it does appear that most of his helmets are as advertised. As to boots, the best source for them is caboots.com here: <a href="http://www.caboots.com/product/1SCSSTORM/STORMTROOPER-ANKLE-BOOTS.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caboots.com/product/1SCSSTORM/STORMTROOPER-ANKLE-BOOTS.html</a>. They're fairly expensive, though. You could also do what the original production did and purchase a pair of black or brown chelsea boots and color them white. Just be aware that you'll have to paint the elastic sides as well (or replace them with white elastic) if you go that route. Hi Adam.

In addition, it will be way too small for you. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how much of a gamble ebay is when it comes to trooper armor. You have two options to get reasonably good armor in your size (which is similar to my own). One is Armor Master (AM) and the other is RT-Mod. Both are fan sculpts but they're both very good. Join up at the forums at MEPD.net or whitearmor.net for more detailed info and PM folks over there for current kit pricing and contact info.

I am 6'4" and 230 lbs and not sure which set to buy. I found a set on ebay that claims to be Sheperton Armor and says it will fit up to 6'6" does anyone have any recommendations?
