I am approximately 80% finished with the assembly. I don't consider it 100% unless is deployable.
I did a test wear for mobility. I know I need to trim the biceps (lots of pinching with the forearms). Other than that, the upper torso is looking good, feeling good.
My main issue is with the left calf. The plate it flat against my knee cap. Without the thigh on, I can move. Add the thigh piece and I look like a stormtrooper that needs a bathroom.
The calves themselves fit perfectly. I didn't need to shim. I am able to close them both and the armor is like a second skin (love that!).
My question:
If you've had this problem (the plate to knee issue), how to you solve it?
I'm thinking I'll just take a 1/4" off the bottom, test fit, repeat until it feels good or the plate is down at my ankle
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
