Hello fellows troopers. My name is Hugo and I'm from Paraguay. I finish my ANH Stunt TK and about month ago my application has been approved. Officially 2nd TK approved in the Paraguay Outpost. Looking forward to getting the level three certification now. TK 10604 Hugo González

Hola Hugo, bienvenido al FISD. Enhorabuena por el alta!!! Nos encanta que vuestro Outpost sea cada vez más importante! Por supuesto, te animo a que presentes tu solicitud para nivel Experto(L2) y a continuación para Centurión(L3). Si necesitas ayuda, puedes preguntarnos lo que sea, para eso estamos! Puedes empezar por ponernos algunas fotos de tu armadura, y podemos indicarte que es necesario modificar/corregir en tu armadura(si hiciera falta)... Haznos tantas preguntas como desees...Y recuerda, ninguna pregunta es una pregunta tonta...Aunque no lo creas, todos hemos estado en ese punto de "recién aprobados" y seguro que teníamos las mismas dudas e incluso alguna más que tú...Ánimo, y dentro de poco, serás uno más de los casi 600 Centuriones que recorren el mundo! Hi Hugo, welcome to FISD. Congratulations! We are happy that your Outpost is becoming more and more important! Of course, I strongly encourage you to apply for Expert(L2) and then for Centurion(L3). If you need help, you can ask us anything, that's what we are here for! You can start by sending us some pictures of your armor, and we can tell you what needs to be modified/corrected in your armor (if necessary)... Ask us as many questions as you want...And remember, a dumb question is only the one not asked....Believe it or not, we have all been at that point of "just approved" and we surely had the same doubts and even some more than you...Soon, you will be one more of the almost 600 Centurions around the world!

As you can read in the CRL "The abdomen section must wrap around the wearer's body without a visible seam." For he FOTK armor , building the torso section is different from the OT TK. Opposite from the OTTK, ( that has openings to the sides) FOTK got one in the back and the sides get permanently closed with no visible seam. The opening goes back and is covered by the TD mounting plate. see some images from other's Build Threads You can check HERE to see what others have done Use inner ABS strips to join the Back to the AB You can check the Build threads to see the different methods used to the back closure.

You may have to add some side shims if the pieces are left with a gap. You would have to glue the sides first, as the inner drop box recess are there. You could then cut the sides past the drop boxes and add a shim, glue and fill with ABS paste. This is OTTK but it would be a similar procedure to adding shims for FOTK, or should give you a good idea how to fill those gaps. I don't think I've seen an FOTK with shims as yet but many of the other makers have excess material on theirs which get's trimmed down, doesn't look like Denuo Novo has any extra.

Could you post a photo how it fit on you?
