    Fitting stage 1 - trying to get all the upper body stuff in place and work my way down. Question on the rivets on the sides- once cuts are made 1) how do you add the rivets to the sides and 2) do you recommend using those rivets/buttons to attach the kidney to the cod? Seems like that might make unnecessary stress on the created holes?

     

    You can see the lines I've made to cut- if ya loom closely

    Made some decent progress today, felt like it took forever, but finished up cover strips on the biceps and cleaned them up....then made preliminary cuts on the thighs. Got them secured together and will be adding front cover strips so I can size the backs soon-

     

    Any feedback??

    Won't be getting any work done today, out of town thru Wednesday with work- but had a question about the chest piece -

     

    I've seen a lot of good threads about how to strap it and snap it etc, but none really discuss how it should fit- how do ya tell it its to big- to small - needs trimming etc. mine feels and looks like its ok without any real substantial trimming... But that just can't be true lol... Open up duscussion----

    Made a little more progress this afternoon - made some size cuts to the biceps and think I have them where I want them- wanted to post before gluing on cover strips - also made the first step in the bucket- used E6000 to secure the dome to the back piece.

     

    I hesitantly say I think all is going well

     

    Now instead of continuing on- the wife wants sushi ;)

     

    (Tried to post some pictures but I guess this thread is full? Weird since I've seen tons of threads that are peppered with pics )

    So first few questions already, lol.. About to make my first few cuts and just want double reassurance.

     

    Are these two forearms paired up appropriately (right and left)? And on the right one has a sever over hand on the top (elbow side)... Is that accurate ? Does anyone have a NE build pic of finished forearms ?

     

    Thanks for the direction everyone!!

    So I'm getting my NE kit delivered in about 6 -7 days. I can't friggin wait to get started! Do you mind if I ask about sizing? I'm 5-11 180lbs and I've heard this kit comes REALLY big-

     

    Was there a lot of trimming necessary so far?
