My crotch IS sticking out a bit in that left hand picture. I believe it was attached in the photos. I will take new photos with a shortened strap so it does not stick out... The suit is very snug on me. It feels great in the fit....it is definitely not too large...yes......maybe the return edge bulks it a bit... The upper region of my thighs are very chunky and then they get drastically smaller down towards my knee caps (fat at the top... skinny by the knee). From the middle up to the top part of the thigh... armor is fitted very tight. I do see what you mean about taking it in a little smaller around the knee caps according to what is shown in the photos.... I would have to pull the thighs apart and trim them down in a more upside down triangular cut.....The top of my thigh armor can not be trimmed at all. It is VERY tight up there now. There is a part of me that feels the top of my thigh would look too big in comparison as you look down my thigh towards the knee...if I trimmed them to exact fit down at the knee... I'm not sure if I want to do that to these thigh pieces. I would consider getting another set of thighs and trimming them exactly down to my leg size if that is what must be done for my ESB to be at EIB level.... I will post photos of myself with a better fitted crotch area with in a few days.. Thank you for the feedback

I am ready to make improvements/corrections.....thanks for considering my application

yes it is a small world! lol.... I glad the thread came to good use! I had a blast building that suit!

Gino, I passed your contact on to an Empire City Garrison friend who will be working our table for NYCC......he fits the body/build need....hopefully he will reach out.....

Thanks guys....and thanks Todd for the tips for the weathering/battle worn look....I did your method but used a different brand of earth charcoal dust......

Hello All, just figured I'd announce that my Incinerator build got approved by the legion on Friday. I am minus a flamethrower/plasma rifle. (I am looking to get one if anyone will build it for commission) ..... and I do need to work on getting my paudren to crimp down on my shoulder....

No helmet build photos. I haven't built the NE helmet yet. Any photos you see with my NE armor.... in wearing my TM helmet Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

You want to cut the kidney and butt plate how you have it marked. Then you need to hold the kidney and the ab plate on your body and decide how much to trim (if any) off the ab plate...I have a 38 waist...I did not trim any thing off the ab plate except the pointy corners on the bottom of the ends....

I read your stuff all the time and love the holster I got from you. Congrats and thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

I did cut most of the return edge off the biceps....and I did not cut anything off the butt plate
