Hi, there is not much to add to your to-do-list. So I try to answer some of your questions.
- You can cut the back of thighs and calfs as you need it. The troopers in the movie did the same:
.
- I wouldn't install the thighs higher at the moment. The gap between thighs and calves is ok as it is.
- The butt plate will come closer if you install the Strapping at the outer edges. This will close the gap to the kidney plate too.
- The gap between back and kidney is tooo large. But you already know that.
I hope this helps a little bit. Stay on target, the finish line is not far.
Cheers
Christian
