Agreed on the TD details and rectangle appears black on ab details. I think Andrew @Sly11 was going to close the CRL so these may be a little late.

You can do as you have marked, or even angle up the cover strip to the corner or even leave them with the step, it's some pieces had the cover strip stopping below the step. Here's a few references

ABS paste ready to go, apply along the seam, will see how it dries as it may need another coat Try to get your trim lines as straight as you can, very important on ends that cover strips won't cover Add some painters tape inside to hold together Measure cover strip Mark Trim Glue, clamp and apply magnets Clamps and magnets are usually enough but for difficult areas add more magnets and wrap tape around tightly, should bend the cover strip enough Opposite side velcro for the shins, trim the edges as they don't have any hook on them, measure and cut in half Apply glue and add to shin Clamps and magnets once again On to some strapping, don't ever throw out wrong sized or worn elastic straps which have snaps on them, they come in handy to use as a guide for test fitting I like to use adjusters on the strapping from chest to ab section, some times you need to tweak the gap a little I have a template I use to mark the holes, they are the same size on any armor I put together, can always swap out with others elastic straps if you have a failure. Soldering iron works best to make the holes, helps to prevent the snap pulling through Time travel happened once again and strapping was finished before I knew it no photos for that part. Test fit of belt and measured the sides for the rives and snaps and added behind Side elastic measured and snaps added Snap plates also added inside top of thighs and arm pieces Time to wait for everything to dry again, I guess I best clean up again

Bondo is great for 3D print filling, dries quickly and easy to sand, just don't add too much hardener, the more you use the more heat is generated

Nice work, you can also post images in Pre Approval area for feedback Just watch armor positions, alignment of thighs to shins (cover strips should align) same with biceps/forearms. You could also bring your shoulders in a little more at the top Also best to take images without the blaster, it can weigh down and make pieces out of place, appears your thigh is jammed under butt plate I would also look at cutting the cover strips at the back on an angle Small gap between butt plate and kidney, you could either tighten the strapping or try a V tab to hold it in place. Couldn't make out in the images if you have the right side top ab "Han" snap added. Here is a thread for thigh cut out comparison, generally if you do the thighs the shins are cut too https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/album/112-mobility-cut-outs/ They are also cut quite square compared to references. Also try to get your shoulder straps on the rear to sit down more. Good luck with approval

Some references for you

All armor pieces and coverstrips are glued front and back with the exception of the rear of the shins which are open.

Looks pretty good, a nice thread here for references of variations Also if you need to clean and/or adjust Another comparison thread here

Nice work trooper a few things you may want to adjust Buen trabajo, soldado, algunas cosas que quizás quieras ajustar Your shoulders have a big gap at the front, can you rotate them in a little more and try to bring them in closer at the top Tus hombros tienen un gran espacio en la parte delantera, ¿puedes rotarlos un poco más y tratar de acercarlos en la parte superior? Thighs are hitting your butt plate, also your right thigh back cover strip is angled. Right back shin not completely closed. You also have a big gap between the helmet and neck, could you reduce the padding? Detonator could also come down on the belt Los muslos están golpeando su placa de nalgas, también la tira de la cubierta trasera del muslo derecho está en ángulo. Espinilla trasera derecha no completamente cerrada. También tienes un gran espacio entre el casco y el cuello, ¿podrías reducir el acolchado? El detonador también podría caer en el cinturón. Ab and kidney are overlapping so can't see your side rivets Ab y riñón se superponen, por lo que no puedo ver los remaches laterales Butt plate is pushing outwards La placa de tope está empujando hacia afuera Thigh ammo strip rivets are very close to the corner Los remaches de la tira de munición del muslo están muy cerca de la esquina Could you also post the following images: Close up of your ab/kidney side rivets Front of your sniper plate Inside connectors thigh ammo strip Top right ab "Han" snap Bottom helmet screw Good luck with approval ¿Podrías publicar también las siguientes imágenes? Cierre de los remaches laterales ab / riñón Frente a tu placa de francotirador Conectores interiores tira de munición de muslo Ajuste superior derecho ab "Han" Tornillo inferior del casco Buena suerte con la aprobación

Too cold overnight so I will leave all that was glued yesterday another 24hours ABS slurry melting Add the rear velcro cover plates to shins Snap plates made Add snap plates, left over strips of ABS help to clamp more area of the snap plates and use less clamps and magnets Apply to rest of the armor pieces. Can't add to sides as yet until I work out side rivet placement once the belt is on And also the arms

Very nice

Hello and welcome aboard, I haven't seen very much in the way of blueprints, just a few images Some nice images in this thread Also here

ATA pipe dimensions are a lot smaller than most other makes so it can make appearance look out of sink compared to screen refernces

I would it will definitely change the gaps

Looking forward to seeing some photos and of course the progress

Looking good, does take a little tweaking to get everything space right once you start strapping, you will find it will look a lot different once your sniper plate and thigh ammo strip are attached.

Armor trimming all sanded and ready to proceed. First trim and check alignment for kidney and butt plate which need to appear as one piece Inside looks good. Apply some superglue gel and kicker which helps quicken the drying and also expands the glue Waiting for the ABS paste to soften then applying along the join seam Next on to the belt, going to leave this longer than a standard OTTK, the TFU has a longer belt Cover button close to the end as well Measure for snap hole And drill Now to bend, I usually just clamp two metal rulers either side and then apply a little pressure on either side and bend Worked well On to some cover strips, remember one side of the ABS sheet is usually gloss, the other not Score and snap works the best In no time your done Use some coarse sandpaper on the back to roughen, will help the glue adhere to it Using velcro on the back of the shins, draw a line slightly off center as a guide, measure the velcro and carefully cut Apply glue to the velcro side Apply the velcro Then clamp down upside on board to dry Now we fast forward, I got a little carried away and didn't stop to take photos, but you all know how it goes You can never have enough magnets or clamps, painters tape helps too Hopefully be dry tomorrow to finish the other sides

Hello and welcome aboard, we have a pre approval area if you would like to post some photos for feedback https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/, if not good luck with approval and hope to see you join the ranks soon.

Bately noticeable with the D ring attached, bondo would fill the gap if you wanted to go that far
