I bought some sheets of abs from ATA and used those as my seam runners to reconnect, works really well and can be contoured nicely with a heat gunI don't think Jim is saying to add a new seam but to cut along the already existing seam(s) and overlap with velcro to make the thighs smaller. I would likely be doing this to all the parts to make them fit nicely and look more accurate as needed. The challenge is to make the seam look like they mate together cleanly after the cut rather than an obvious overlap. Check out some of the great build threads esp. ukswrath's
I forget the terminology but the idea is to use scrap HIPS pieces and cut an overlap strip and use it to reconnect the other side after the cut.
So cut an existing seam, clean up the edge you want to preserve.
Cut a scrap HIPS strip.
Fit the thigh piece and determine how much you are cutting.
Cut to fit, clean the edge
Glue the HIPS strip to the back of one edge with overlap.
Then either glue the overlap joining the other edge or use velcro.
Something like that...

Here is my 80% complete kit from Jim, believe it's the newest version. Much smoother, helmet is anovos, and I repainted it and the armor with rustoleum gloss white

I'm using Tapatalk app and it makes it way easierBy the way, the formatting on these forums must hate iPads, as it is switching it all to html, and I didn't add half these tags.

A little off topic but do the spats overlap the bottom of the shin piece or do the shins just rest in top on the spat

Yeah I was actually able to get some cloth ones already made that Jim had laying around, so if possible could you take me off the Mrs list. I will eventually get some rubber ones, just not in the budget right now

Anyone know anybody else that is selling or wants to sell a gasket set. I'm number 69 on the waiting list with imperial gaskets and I was hoping to have some by wondercon. Thanks

Yeah I'm happy with it. A little gap but it helps with fogging up

So here is my anovos helmet with swapped lense. Just ordered a dark smoke motorcycle visor and basically cut it to same size as anovos lense and it looks great and the visibility is 100% better

Here is his build thread. Not done yet but it's looking good

I may see about replacing the lense with something else just to make it better for trooping, prob won't be as screen accurate though

I pretty much answered my own question with Google haha. Says JB plastic weld can be used on fiberglass among many other types of plastics
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Great thanks, now I have ordered one of Jims kits which is made from flexible fiberglass. Do you think the plastic weld would work with that or maybe do some research and see what else is out there

Quick question on your adhesives. Where do you prefer to use E6000 over super glue or plastic weld?
