As others already mentioned, scrab ABS/Hands/Get a ladies nail to start peeling, and the excess should come right off no problem.

I think your sizing is great. The general rule is if you can fit 3 fingers comfortably between the armor and you, then it is a good size. From what I can see with the photos you provided, you are in good shape with the Ab/kidney.

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing it!

Here are some screen grabs from the movie. I think a little overhang on the knuckles will be fine. Hope these help.

Oh wow. I am envious of your E-11 with those electronics. I want one now lol. Well done. Looks like your build is coming together nicely. keep it up.

How am I only discovering these now!? The one stop shop. lol. I feel so lost. These are great for new builders! Would have been a lifesaver for me! <3

What are you waiting for? Rip that box open and lets see that fresh armor!

As mentioned already above, I do not see any issues that will allow you to pass for basic approval. Removing the return edges from the biceps will help bring everything a bit closer together. If that doesn't work, you can try shortening the strapping. Good Luck brother.

They look great! Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk

That is awesome. Congrats! Be Bad. Do good

Your belt looks great! I do not see any issues with it.

Fingers crossed. I hope these suggestions work out.

Yes. Posting photos are very effective!

As mentioned by the fine gentleman above me, I will just be repeating what they said.. so.. ^what they said lol. But you are looking like you made some great progress. keep it up!

Good to see you creating a build thread Craig! Good Luck! We will be watching your career with great interest

Mike, What was the PayPal address that you sent the funds to? Also, what decal are you referring to?

Wow... He is going to be so upset when this doesn't fit him anymore lol. ( I would ) Well done mate! Get to work on an Age 12-14 Variant

Well done so far! I used the snap method but found it is too restrictive for movement. But this works for many trooeprs! I switched to a simple elastic that I glued directly on the armor. Good Luck on the rest of your build. You are moving right along.

Mix of Ap/RT-Mod. AP Bucket AP Forearms/Biceps AP Calves AP Ab/Kidney Plate RT Shoulder Bells RT Chest/Back Plate RT Thighs RT Shoulder Bridges I am a mutt. *ruff* Future reference for any troopers. The RT/AP White is practically the same shade.

Set backs are bound to happen. I had a huge issue with my thighs and had to use lots and lots of bondo to get things up to spec. Hang in there. You got a bunch of troopers behind you cheering you on.

That looks great!

Great work! Easily approved!

Well done Frank! Very proud and happy to see you approved. next stop EIB!

ugh!!! I love the look of the shiny new armor. Great work so far on your build. In a way, I now envy you

I do not see an issue with it. Whatever works for you trooper. The strapping (thankfully) is not in the CRL. Some troopers prefer the traditional strapping from the movies, but most of us (me included) find different ways to keep our armor together when we troop. So NOPE. I see no issue with it as long as it works for you!
