Fat Spartans

[Hickeydog]

Not sure of my weight in lbs, but from the looks of it I'm around the same size as yourself, possibly a little bigger tbh

I found that breathing in, sucking in the gut and having someone wrap an entire roll of duct-tape round me from just below my ribs to about my belt line as tight as they could and then put my suit on over the top of that really helped

Here's the result!

Afraid I haven't got any pics of the undersuit / tape corset that are any good... but out of the armour I look like this, so you can see the difference it makes

6' and 225 lb. I added almost 5 inches in height in costume with padding on the bottom of the boots and the top of the helmet (so it rides a bit higher than a 'regular' helmet).

Me with the librarian at a local museum I supported earlier in the month by making an appearance with my "trooping" club, admittedly she's not a tall lady, but she's didn't seem significantly shorter than average:

I am building a marine armor from Halo 3 and I am about 220 pounds at 5' 9.5". All though I plan to exercise to burn off some of excess baggage, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just build to your heart's desire.

Well now I can't wait to get started. I'll have to wait til the summer to have a back yard.
Damn dorms.

Alright, so off topic again, but as a noob here, it's hard for me to comprehend that all this legit looking armor is really just paper with some fiberglass and a little bit of body repair painted on.
I'm a little surprised at the concept.

Believe it. With a little patience and a LOT of time, you can build something amazing.

you won't look bad from the looks of it, I'm the same way, take a look at my thread if you want to see some possible comparison's.
If anything, you'd be perfect for Jorge

FTFY: With a lot of patience and a LOT of time... haha. I'm giving myself around six months to complete the build. There will be large amounts of swearing, starting over, and general cursing at unpreparedness.

Xephyron: You will look a lot less silly in your suit than I will. I NEED to add a "bit" of extra height to my boots and in the top of my helmet, being as I only top out at five feet. Lucky I'm a girl, but seriously: Who's ever heard of a five foot tall spartan? A spartan built like a rottweiler? Yes. A petite little chihuahua-sized spartan? Not likely, unless they are really good at what they do.
