[Need Help With Extending Thighs and Waste Extensions]

Thanks for taking time to respond to my post Kman, I really appreciate it!

 

For some unknown reason, I can't see any pics on the thread you have linked, is there any chance I can ask you to post a thumbnail here of the outside and inside view of the kidney plate so I can emulate your work?

Many thanks, I seem to be progressing at last!

The way the kidney shims are done in the post is the way I had been told to do it, but I can see you have added a big red message on each of the pictures stating that this shimming is no longer acceptable - any idea about that? Wouldn't want to put in the work and get my application pushed back!

Gracias Walter!

So are these three pieces? One large V shape piece for the center, and then 2 smaller pieces on the front? Or just the large V cemented to a back plate (which is what you see from the front?

My main concern is when sanding down the gaps filled in with ABS cement, I will scratch the original thigh piece. I have an SDS armor so I can't repaint as I would have to paint the whole thing

Example from local garrison with no backplate, but I can't see the detail of how they sanded to make it look good.

Hi bondservnt, not sure about the permissions! I can't see them here embedded and when I click on a pic, it takes me to photobucket where the page doesn't do anything, tried on Chrome, Firefox and IE. Sorry for bothering you with this technical rubbish.

Hi family,

 

I have tried the search engine to no avail (not sure what I am doing wrong) - so sorry for posting this as it has most likely been dealt with before.

 

I received my SDS armor yesterday and it is obviously not made for the larger and broader trooper. My thighs don't fit and I definitely need to add a pvc plate to connect the back and front plates.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to do this (i.e. adding pvc pieces, how to measure, and similar)? I am a complete noob and afraid to mess up the armor.

Gracias amigos!

Hi, can ABS be heated with a hair dryer? Sorry for the simple question, just trying to save the € on buying tools I may only use a couple of times.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies, it's great to be here!

 

I received my SDS armor yesterday and have been busy working on it

 

I have been using the search option with no success at the moment and am looking for some support on minor issues: the first is how to separate the dropbox pieces, as I have to open them, and rivet them to straps. There are 4 glue points in the corners but not sure how to manage separating the glue (complete noobie).

This looks like an excellent tutorial, I can't see the photos though

Hi Troopers! been reading you guys forever, and finally receives my SDS armor today. I am really looking forward to joining my brothers and sisters from the 501st Legion - Spanish Garrison over the coming months and get out there trooping! Thanks for being here, it's incredible!
