Can't tell you how many Alpha builders hacked this section off also. Nice recovery.

Coming along nicely James

Correct. Also, the "inner" seams can be fixed or functional, choice is yours

Overlap simply means to overlap the other side. How your armor was made makes this task very simple for you. No need to overlap past the point where it looks like it should stop. As for the shins, unless you have exceptionally skinny feet there's no way to put on the shins without an entry section which is the inside seam for a couple reasons. Hope this helps

I suspect so

Your backplate should keep it in place but the magnets is definitely a nice touch. In addition the movie had a strip of Velcro that is fed through the bottom of the TD and secured under the waist belt thus help preventing it from moving up and becoming unhinged. Just a thought if you're interested. Reference photo I did something similar on mine

Looks like I'll be holding out

Waaaa! That stinks

Wow awesome! Nice work Justin

Awesome work on that TD Jasper

Wow my last post here was 5 years ago Let's see how far it goes from here

I'll speak with Glen to see if we can get some new photos up pronto

Hey Matthew welcome to the FISD.

Hey Wade most popular are an Exacto knife and/or scissors. Another option, though a bit on the expensive side is a stationary belt sander. Exacto and sander are my tools of choice personally

Copy that! Dedication and perseverance have finally prevailed. Congrats Andrew

Hey AJ welcome to the FISD. FOTK isn't too bad. Yea it's a bit advance than the OTTK (older TKs) but there are plenty of build threads and countless folks here to help.

Grand slam build. Looks fantastic and as Andrew mentioned thanks for the tutorials.

Excellent!
