On the knee pack... just go right to the edge and make sure its flat without any return on it at all and you'll be good to go.
If the curve looks weird and not tangential just copy the radius of the other side and redraw it to cut again. Just take of minimal plastic to achieve the curve.

Yo. Is that your actual undersuit? I suggest getting some spandexy compression gear and trying it on with it to see how it fits and where it pinches. You stuff looks a little baggy. You side gaps may even come in a little too.

Gordo: I am an an impolite person for totally spacing out on your question. To be fair though, I was out of the country. But I just plain forgot.

Not bad. Half the posts are about drinking. Right on schedule. This baby will be pinned or pulled over before we know it. Lol! So let me end with "you done yet?"
I'll be done before a certain Jawa we know that's for sure.
What would you say is the thickness of this armor? 0.60?

As soon as I find my calipers I'll measure for you. Really... I have no idea where they are.
It feels about the same as my TM... but thinner than my RT... but not too thin as some people are whining about.

Came home for my lunch break and found a lovely FedEx slip on my door.

Stop hiding this post! LOL
Ok... so Paul's comment wasn't exactly helpful. So if the rounded one that everyone uses is wrong... what is right? Pointing out a failure without suggesting the right way to do it is just nitpicking.
Also... we have tons of Centurions already approved with the that very s-trim that no one will ever see. No fan is every going to come up and say "Dude your s-trim is weird looking!"
My issue with the anovos s-trim is that I think it is too wide seeming. Maybe I'm wrong.
Here TM/Paul's S-trim that we're going to assume is accurate because he's Paul:

All,
Paul (Daetrin) has dropped out of the race making Tim Waychoff (TK-51878) Dark CMF our new Detachment Leader for 2016 (our 10 year anniversary)!
Please join me in congratulating him and wish him well in his new position.
Here's to an amazing year for FISD and Stormtroopers everywhere.

Paul? Do you have know US source for more accurate trim?
Can I assume your s trim is accurate? I can go take a photo of it if it is.

I'm wondering what Gaz's take on these S-trims I know he has opinions.

Wow. Dude. So you hand painted the black? With a brush?
Do you have any photos of how did you masked off the black?
I'm such a terrible painter I've been paralyzed and have done nothing with my bucket

Mark posts the same thing every year in the same place like clockwork.
I'm sorry you missed the window to accept.

Well this will be a fun thread to watch. I already chuckled a few times. And should we assume that the one day Eric doesn't sign his name at the end of a post that it's an imposter?
I sent a text message the other day and reflexively signed my name. My fingers just do it.
I'll start taking photos as soon as I start glueing.

Why can't it be made to fit you? I know your regular armor is RT-Mod, for bigger guys, but I'm a bigger guy myself and it's looking like I'll be able to make the Anovos armor work.
I need to stop drinking beer!
I could probably shim the sides because beer gut but I think it would look silly on my frame. I could make it work I'm sure but I think most of the parts are too small for me... like most of the torso... maybe the thighs... and the shins may not close.
Also the shins are too short and you would see a ton of black undersuit in the legs. RT's shins are longer... TM's shins are even longer than RT's
To clarify a little, Eric is 6'5" "bigger."
I are Vader sized.

I would recommend elastic (not webbing) and snaps every time over the original strapping. Especially if you have a body type of anything other than the guys who originally wore the armor.

Sometimes I give my stuff to a scout trooper and hope he/she isn't too smug about having pockets.

So no velcro in the back? Keep it the same as ANH? (Confirming for a friend!)
Yes please.
If your GML has a problem with it send him to me.

The centurion wording is wrong and/or misleading. I could have SWORN I fixed that some time ago.
These shall be affixed in the back (no snaps, rivets or brads shall be visible).
Yes they should float and be held down by the elastic.

Take a look at our reference gallery (see top menu of this site) for the lucasfilm archives or the RS Props suit. There are three albums in there of actual screen used armor. Those are the best references for how big return edges should be. The anovos return edges are indeed a bit extreme IMHO.
size > 0 and size < ridiculous.
Don't be a dick.

Correct S-trim for my Anovos Helmet
in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Posted
Because maybe it will help someone along the way. We don't delete threads on FISD. It just isn't done.
Look now people can see the difference between TM, Anovos and ATA's s-trim! See some good came out of it the silliness.
