It will be practically posted like it was wallpaper over the forum but I don't think Zeroroom is completely finished with the templates yet, which is why that hasn't been done yet.

I can't comment on that.

Thanks Steve!

I'd highly recommend fixing the knee-plate taper as well.

The butt plate thing is very common. It's a result of using snaps instead och brackets and a maybe slightly too tightly strapped ab-belt. It's nothing to worry about.

Didn't happen much yesterday. I was at work. I dealt with some stuff on the forum. I paid my bills, had a shower and watched some telly. But it wasn't bad either. Thanks anyway, I appreciate it buddy.

I'm guessing about 4 cm wide, but that's just me guessing. Someone more knowledgeable in these finer details might provide a better answer. But I'm thinking these brackets were hand made and not to a specific width, so I think they varied in both width and height. But if you do it today to replicate you might want a uniform size of the brackets.

Depends on how wide your bracket is!

Nice suit Javier! It's an easy approval and shouldn't have much trouble getting you centurion either. I have some suggestions to make it even better. Your knee plate ends in a taper now, redo that and cut the ends so they stop vertically instead of taper. Shorten the detonator clips and re-work the angles so that the keypad on the detonator is more horizontal and less of the clips are show when attached to the belt. Rotate the right thigh a bit so it's more centered. Maybe it's like that normally, but on your pictures it's a bit rotated.

Nice suit Peter (and Billy)! All I can really think of is maybe shorten the strap between shoulder and bell to bring it in a little. Approved!

Most people do 20 on legs, 25 on back of the shins, and 15 on the arms. You can move away from these numbers if you need to, but keep the proportions for the right look. Yes, the thumbprint is on the left.

Thanks Ingrid

Fixed it.

While it's still a little soft, massage it a bit by squeezing it between your fingers while it it's hole to get some of the gasses inside out of it. It makes for a smoother surface when you sand it.

Yeah, I know of those pictures. I've just never seen any scuffed paint on ears that has revealed any primer, but I guess it falls off together with the white paint whenever scuffed. I might have had a brain fart in my last post.

No that's right. There are some reference pictures in the gallery in the link at the top of the page. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Ouch! But I'm happy to hear you're fixing the knee plate undeterred by blood.

---------- The bottom tool is what I associate with a hole punch, but the top one is one too, but of the fixed hole size kind that you use together with a hammer.

Ah! I still don't have a hole punch though.

Sorry, don't remember that, but I'll be sure to do next time.

Dang it!

ABS paste could do it if your're careful. You may need to sand it smooth and polish afterwards to get a uniform surface though. Any kind of filler will work, but would also require paint on top.

I would suggest lowering your knee plate as it sits a little too high on the shin, as well as try to slim the legs a bit for a more form fitting look.

No problem.
