  1. Yes. We all know that Anovos is a recast of RS and the original RS armour has shins made up of two outer halves for both legs, meaning they are identical no matter which leg you put them on. Rob reshaped a two halves to try and make them look like the missing inner halves and these modified parts are actually the longer parts you are using for the outer halves instead of the unmodified, shorter parts that are the outer halves.

     

    As I said earlier, there is no point using the original LFL armour as reference because not even the RS matches up - never mind the Anovos.

     

    Let me know if you need more help :)

     

    Ok, I get what you are saying but why would they make the modified inner parts to be longer than the actual outer parts.  You would think that they would try to keep the look of the orginal armour's inner (short) and outer (long) parts?   Is this the same with the RS suit?

  2. Ok, let's talk forearms. The left and right forearms are obviously different, this is good as so we're the originals. The left forearm parts align perfectly. The right forearms is a different matter altogether. The inner part is considerably shorter than the outer part. I have seen many threads where builders have cut the wrist of the outer part to make the two parts align. I could do this to solve the problem. However, the parts as sent by Anovos were obviously meant to mis-align, going by the trim lines and the return edge that the trim lines would have left on.<br><br>

    We're the originals misaligned like this, if the mould was based on original suits then the answer should be an easy yes, or did Anovos get it wrong and made the inner forearm too small?

  3. Bill came later, box was delivered 10 days ago and the bill for import costs came through the post today.

    Can't say how much you'll get stung for as the costs seem to random for different people (for some strange reason).

    I was just wondering if we were forewarned by FebEx about the charges? I think that I have been charged about £70
  4. FedEx bills are coming through to UK buyers. Got mine today and got stung for £92 ($130), so not looking quite the bargain that our US cousins got.<br>

    What really upsets me is the fact the import costs seem almost random, I've seen some others' bills for £72, some for £86. <br>

    Not quite sure of the logic behind it.

    I don't remember seeing anything about import costs when my BBB got delivered. Also the FedEx delivery costs seems to be less than what we were charged by Anovos?
  5. But it is an option and its a lot harder to undo if you haven't used E6000. If we are trying to future proof the progression of armour to centurian standards then we need to ensure that new recruits don't start thier build in this way, as to take apart fitted armour with overlaps will inevitably reduce the size or the armour parts and make it difficult to rebuild with cover strips?

     

    I would say that this should be pretty fundamental to the build of centurian standard (ie screen accurate) armour. To me it is vastly more important to having 'slightly scuffed' boots or how the shoulders should be strapped ;)
