Lol yea I know, the boots are on order from TK boots and should be here next week. I can move the strap holding the chest up without much difficulty. As for the belt, that's gonna take some doing, it's got snaps already in place.
As for the tape, well I wanted to see how it all fit before I committed to gluing it back together. So while I know the tape is awesome, it won't be staying
I'll probably be opening up the forearms as well as they're really loose.
Thanks for the suggestions Steve.
One thing I was personally concerned about is the kidney plate. It's under the back of the chest armor and I haven't seen any pics where it's that way. Should I consider trimming the plate down below the back piece?
