[AM 2.0 Armor Build in Ohio]

Good job. A lot of guys use Tandy snaps as the posts are longer and they seem more heavy duty. In no time you'll be walking the halls of the Death Star.

Hey Mike I'm pretty certain we talked this already but are you using nylon webbing in the area to connect the two? If so, my next suggestion you may not want to hear. Position the connecting straps between the posterior and kidney closer to the front like so. This may help prevent the area from stretching.

 

 

However, to quote Newton's Third Law "For every action there is a equal and opposite reaction". In a nutshell tightening up this area will most likely have an effect on your waistline, which effects your ab to kidney gap.

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.

A shot of the inside of the armor will help. You may need to add a snap plate with elastic to connect the butt and kidney closer to the edge of the armor (side).

[here we go! ANH Stunt build]

Good looking build. Legs look much better. Did you drop the biceps?

[AM 2.0 Armor Build in Ohio]

What type of snaps are you using?

[BrinkHouse ANH TK Stunt Build [RT-Mod]]

Isn't the elastic that connects the chest to the back suppose to be white?

[Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Troopers!]

Merry Christmas to all

Way to go Bingo ! Congrats on your approval and first troop. Armor looks amazing bro. Well done gang !

[Comfys ATA ANH Stunt - First Build!]

Looking good Adam. I noticed the tube stripes on your bucket (right side). Not sure if its the pics but they look off and different spaces between them and smudged. Did you paint them or are they decals. It may be the pics but just something i noticed. Keep up the good work. You are almost there

[Newbie ESB Build]

You may want to trim down the screws on the inside of ur bucket so you don't get impaled. It's bad enough our armor doesn't stop anything but air

[LadyInWhite Phasma Build]

Holy crap. That is AWESOME !!!!!! Well done !!!!!!!!!!

[AM Hand guards trimming]

From memory I took a good 1/2 inch off the circumference of my guards, they are huge to start off with

Sounds about right for me too.  Unless they are ridiculously large looking on you, trim a little off and judge by that.  Everyone has different size hands

[AM 2.0 first time build trying not to screw up]

Some people use a heat gun to heat up and bend their armor. JUST BE CAREFUL DOING IT THIS WAY. Some will submerge it in hot water and mold it that way. You will find you will trim a lot but the kit is awesome and well made. Welcome aboard

[Hondutrooper's AM 2.0 Build]

Congrats. Great looking kit

[Ruthar's AM 2.0 TD Build Thread]

That's awesome. Great build

[My first build, a TD from TM story.]

Congrats to both of you ! Job well done troopers

[Ukswrath's FOTK build thread]

As always, amazing job Tony !!! Does the butt plate being out that far cause fit issues. Every kit I see it is like that

[Looking for advice on what armor kit to get]

Welcome Josh. Looks like your starting on the right path by research and asking questions Good luck in your journey

[Ukswrath's FOTK build thread]

As always, well done.

[Trogdor's first build (mtk)]

You can always Velcro the drop boxes to the belt. It may save you a lot of headaches. I originally had mine riveted on and a lady tore one off during a photo. (Don't ask).
