Hello Troopers! I recently purchased the AP kit from Mark, great guy to deal with, and couldn't wait to start working on the kit unfortunately I was at school when I received it so I finally got a chance to work on it a bit. I also ordered the boots from Totally Killer Boots and the blaster kit from DoopyDoos.
I completed the helmet I'm just waiting on the mic tips which didn't arrive with my order.
When I assembled the forearms, biceps, thighs, and shins I noticed that they were a bit tight on me; here's an example with one of the forearms. I don't know if the problem was from my assembly or I'm just not fit for the AP kit, I'm 6' and weigh 192 lbs. This really bummed me out, if I can't get it to fit me I can give it to my brother, the suit fits him great!
Here is a quick test fit of my brother wearing the suit, are the shoulder bells at the right height? I know the thighs look a bit loose I just need to add more velcro so they can fit him well. I'm also a bit unsure on how to tackle the belt that's why it's still not there.
Also here is a back view of him in the suit, I'm thinking the back piece is just a little too high. What do you guys think? Please note he's holding on to the kidney because the snaps weren't glued well and well it snapped off .
So this is were I'm at in the build, I would appreciate any tips, suggestions, or even what did you do comments any of you may have. Thank you for watching!

Awesome thanks for the help. I did try on the forearms with the undersuit, it's still a tight fit so I will need to resize it.
