I was about to post on my forearms but the wrist end looks just as wide on mine, looks like im going to have to trim it a bit more myself.

Use a different browser.

Yea he sent both from the pic. Dont think ill be so nervouse to work on the left shin now.

And just like that, my shins are here!

Got the flat for the t-tracks, and the gloss for the grip. ill look for the clear overcoat and see how that works with the hammered finish, but will definately try to do differet tests before I decide. Thanks again everyone!

Hey Rystan, I did something like that but a little more ghetto rigged. I will find out if it works tomorrow. I used those ratchet bar clams and applied pressure from both sides and also using the magnets. Too embarrased to take the picture unless it turns out good LOL.

Ha, I think i would have every single Star Wars armor hand crafted to my figure and free of charge if I were a chick and looked like her.

OK, the only reason I thought I had to trim was because I had trouble going up stairs with the armor on just one leg. I looked like this poor girl going up stairs:

I figured there should be something up since im 6'2. but I cant bend my leg much what is the lowest you could bend your legs on your armor? if you take a look at my 4th pic "The Knee" thats pretty much as far as it goes . ill wait though. thanks for the heads up. Yes but I hear thats a no-no. There was lots of confusion (4 teeth on each side 5 holes, and 4 teeth 4 holes) from the hype of building the helmet. I am leaving it as is until I im ready for approval. I don't think its a difficult fix.

Dude, that armor looks sick as hell!

Just out of curiosity, whats the difference between a heat sealing iron and a regular iron?

What a coiky dink, im 6'2 lol Have you guys found out what has a return edge and what doesn't? any word on leveling out the wrist side of the forearm? Im kind of working on everything as im waiting for my forearm to be ready. Rystan, I had the same problem trying to glue the cover strip (i've been on the same forearm for a week.) i've even tried flatening the cover strip area a bit since my forearm joint on one side was at an angle. Also, have the magnets been your worst nightmare yet?

Sounds good. Thanks

I was just asking myself the same thing on the rim from the wrist side. Hopefully someone could chime in on this. I had a mess of a time gluing, The inner shim had shifted a bit I wish I had extra hands too. Damn magnets.

Would this work for a DD build?

How did you end up doing the return edge? It looks like im going to have to trim down my thigh.

While I wait for my forarm to glue, I decided to work on the left shin. Working on the left shin turned in to the whole limb . Since the shin and the thigh had too much plastic for me to see roughly where I will need to be more or less, I cut out 1 inch. Here are some picks of my leg pieces taped together. Looks like I will need to cut a good amount off the top, I can't bend my leg. Back side The knee and Side view

No, contact TG and let him know you have two left (or right) shins, hes working on sending everyone the correct one.

Yea, PM me your email address.

Looks a lot better.

can you take a pic of the side view of the helmet and the back view of the ear? did you try pressing down the lower part of the ear before you drilled?

Damn, You have so steady hands.

Yea I cut from both of them. when you overlap them, you could see what you need to cut. unfortunately for us there's no cover strip area like the other armors have, so I suggest cut half of what you plan on trimming and do a little at a time. Ill try messing with pieces I have cut already and see what it looks like bending with heat. just a little scared being my first armor, tend to be over careful with pricey toys lol. Answer: Im not sure, with this side I think I'm going to go your rout the long way, however I've seen pictures of it being done from the inner part of both sides then the outside. If you try to do all at once, you might have pieces shift off place because of too much glue in its gel state.

I'm getting ready to glue everything on the left forearm but before I do so I wanted to ask some questions. One of the sides (although not the best cuts) doesn't give me any problems and looks to be ready. my questionable cutting What it would look like if I started gluing with the cover strip. Ends Ok so here's my problem: The other side doesn't join curved, it joins at a slight angle. I was able to join everything with some force but am worried it would come apart after I glue it. Here is what it looks like when I join the bottom cover strip with the clamps and magnets Should I do it anyways and see how it turns out since I'm gluing it with E6000? or is there a way to shape the plastic into a curve?

Wow! stumbled on this gem. So following till the end.
