Oh and I can't remove any more material where the cover strips are or I won't be able to wear the pieces. I spent all yesterday tweaking the biceps down to a tolerable size.

Thanks. I've put industrial strength Velcro in 3 spots on my ab plate pretty much exactly where those snap locations are in the pic. Unfortunately I'm an awkward fit for the bicep pieces as my arms aren't long enough to wear them low and still be able to use my arms. I will remove all of the return edge from the bottom of the biceps later tonight. And though it may appear that the tops of my shoulder bells are under or inside my shoulder straps, there is about a 1/2 inch gap I created on the snap strap. I even had to add Velcro to the snaps to prevent the bells from popping off the strap when I extend my arms.

And here is the end result of my work on my biceps and shoulders. This is the closest that I could get them to fit, given the width of my shoulders.

Been cutting and gluing all day. Sized down my bicep pieces so they are very snug. I can really feel them if I flex a bit, but they're holding fine. I just can't get all "puffy chesty" in my armor or I might bust a seam, heh. I also added some strap hooks for my shoulder bells. I trimmed all of the return edge off both shoulder bells and they fit flush to the biceps. I have some sample photos here tonight, because I am really tired, but I will get a full armor photo up again sometime this weekend most likely. Thanks for all your help, fellas.

I haven't fixed my belt to my ab plate yet but I have some industrial strength Velcro I've been using.

Thanks for the feedback. My thigh piece can't be narrowed in size any more than it is, because my quads are pretty large and the thighs barely make it up my leg as is. These pics are a little "older" as I adjusted them to fit higher on my thighs, creating a more defined space between my lower leg pieces and my thigh armor, thus no overhang. I just had to secure my thighs to my ab plate using a snapping strap system. I test fit it yesterday, but forgot to take a pic of the difference made in the legs.

How about impressions just on the armor in general in last two photos?

Thanks guys. I'm gonna recut my biceps in the morning and shave down the return edge on the shoulders. I'll even tighten the bicep strap.

Thanks. I'll trim them down tomorrow.

Hey guys, I'm getting very close to a complete build and I am having some trouble with my shoulder bells and my bicep pieces. Part of me is worried that my shoulder bell strap is too short, in which case I can make another longer one. Then the other part of me is concerned that my bicep pieces are too large, thus kicking my shoulder bells out too far. My range of motion is limited right now, because my shoulders will unsnap from my shoulder strap if I move my arm too high. My bicep pieces are also uncomfortable as I can't move as easily and they seem to keep sliding down my arm. I took some pics with me wearing them as is, then another with where the bell would sit if I lengthened the strap. Any input would be appreciated. These images are as they currently are. Next is the longer strap adjustment. Here is one bicep piece I am concerned is too large. Here is a shot I took a few days ago when preparing submission photos to the Legion. You can see it all put together.

Would like to see some pics too. I've been procrastinating on my thighs and I would like to see some sort of guide.

Found out I can email pics to myself in a smaller size. Here are a few from before I got my mesh in behind the frown.

Found the problem with the issue I was having. Apparently my memory is terrible. I first worked on the 3 bump but then used the 4 in final product. Heh. My mistake. I got them switched. I'm trying to post pics but files on my iPhone are too big. Suggestions?
