personnaly and from a gml perspective i would mod the sides trying to retain the ridge at the back of thigh would be very difficult and with the side mod you only have to blend out one side of the shim as leaving the front edge retains the orignal look

hope this helps

For Tracey’s trooper a friend put together a micro fan system which runs via a a small usb bank that fits nicely in the front of the helmet

any other questions just drop me a message

once the paste has set you can file/sand into shape might take one or two go's then totally cleanup the shins and add the velco at the back As you can see once you have been through all this the shims still look like they should and the raised portion stays nicely inline with the thighs

use the templates to make shims out of ABS and then glue (E6000) in place once you are happy with the shims mix up a batch of ABS slurry (there plenty of references to this on the forum) and start to fill in the joins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

step1 assemble the shins as normal and check what you've got to work with if the shin sits nice around the ankle as in the above pic reduce the return edge to minimal size (i.e just showing the top radius) just to help then carefully cut done either side of the raised areas thill you get them to join up and sit straight as with the pic above. once you have achieved this you can make triangular templates from card to cover the now visible areas do the templates for both shins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ok So i understand your concern with the shins, these are a complex part as is but lets try to help with the issue, firstly i would assemble the shim as normal you can refer to my guide for this part of the process the difficulty is keeping the correct look of the shin armour with it being unique and very different form that of a normal TK but that being said i have worked with a number of legacy's now and have a method that i feel retains the right look

All finish and back out there weirdly enough trooped the location for next years celebration at the weekend Hopefully we will see some of you there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just the helmet to finish off in time for this weeks con so we should have some fully kitted pics after the weekend, of what I think is the first legacy to have gone the extra mile to smooth out the seams Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
