Not to speak for MIMIC on the actual trimming, but I know the FOTK was designed to not be trimmed to different sizes and it is a one size armor to make a uniform look between troopers (this is why the gaskets are used at the joints, so thinner troopers and bulkier troopers have a similar look).MIMIC will it be easy to trim the thighs, shins, or biceps to our measurements?

Its gonna suck to wait all this time and have it not fit lol
But more than likely that's what's gonna happen for short troopers
Have a feeling this is better suited to go on a mannequin than on a trooper
Hopefully that is not the case. I am 5’9” and 185 lbs. I am hopeful it will fit. If not, I can trim it.
Hello Crookknight
No it will fit you fine straight from the box- but if required it can be trimmed sure- just the same as any other set. Hope that helps- thank you.
MIMIC looking forward to get my 2nd ParcelView attachment 1003264 View attachment 1003265 View attachment 1003267 View attachment 1003268 View attachment 1003269 Hello everyone!
Been super busy this week but casting is going great! The quality of the final parts is even superior to what I expected from all the test pulls. These were thicker than they need to be but now I’ve dialled in the moulds to get the correct thickness of parts the components are amazing.
Ive done 15 legs fronts and knee sets, 11 forearms and hanplate sets so far, going to start the upper arms and leg backs any day now.
Started trimming and polishing yesterday and some quick photos to show how flexible the new armor is... I’m obviously still trying my best to at least get some of you your armor in time for Celebration.
I’ll continue to update as I progress with casting.
Thank you
8 days till Celebration or do we have a new date?
I think it is safe to say that people will not be receiving the armor before celebration. It is in less than a week. Unless, he has shipped the stuff and not told anyone.
Hello everyone just checking in...
Is everyone pretty much in agreement that the outer edges of the legs and upper arms should be permanently bonded so that the inner seam can be velcroed/magneted?
Thank you
