Thanks thats a bonus Issue was . Getting bells as close as i could . Pulled on the webbing too much . Stupid big shoulders lol . Leaving a larger gap for webbing to sit . Longer webbing meant more pull . This way can controll where they sit more Back and chest seem to be sitting fine now too . I can lower the back piece to sit better along kidney . But then the back doesent sit well over shoulder plad area . Leaves a gap all around at the sides Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Lots of trouble with webbing pulling under bridges etc once shoulder bells attached . One issue being . Raise the back piece and it sits nice over shoulders . Lower towards kidney to close the gap and a bigger gap opens up around shoulder blade area . Bridge webbing pulls quite a bit once bells are attached . So decided on this to give me a bit more movement and allows to pull closer inwards Join both bells with elastic . Under bridge and neck seal Thoughts ? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Update . Orderd some more e6000 from ross at RWA . Snow has taken its toll on the postal service so awaiting a few pieces . Small crack in sniper knee which ive orderd a new one . Think i got the plate fitting all too well . Decided to go the bra gook method on the shins . Fairly pleased how these turned out Added small eyletts to the holes to hopefully help stop the hooks pulling through Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Ok so not much progress at the moment . . Just waiting to order my boots then i can size the rear of shins and add sniper knee olate etc . Do have some chelsea typr boots and the are narrow ankle just not high enough so thinking instead of using those to size i may be better to wait till u have my boots from ts . Money been a little tight after christmas and all . Will also be requesting help see if any one local can help with final touches to strapping . My stupid frame aint helping things [emoji52] Then such as back piece If i make it almost touch the kidney it feels too low on shoulder blade area and a promenant gap between shoulder blade etc . Move up a touch and it fits over my shoulder area fine but leaves a small gap between back and kidney . Prob around 20mm so may have to get a pic or two up to show what i mean So if any one local to me reading this can help fine tuning to make the armor sit better ... although i dont mind travelling a short distance then message and will get back to you The only thing i have done realy is the inside of my lid Using eva foam adhesive sheets and a foam helmet line from clive . I have more or less lined the inside of the helmet . Along with toyying with a chin strap What you think ? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks marra [emoji6] Ok so it seems ages since i posted something . A bit further on now . Need to Sort the strapping out a little . lower the chest a touch Shoulder bridges just held in place with a little velcro for photo purposes and not glued yet. Shoulders i can get closer but pulls the webbing under shoulder bridges . Maybe loosen between shoulder bell and bicep . Will keep playing to close the gap . Maybe a little more from return edge of shoulder bell Shins are not showwn . Ill wait to do these once i can size with some boots from rs [emoji4] How things looking ? Thanks Dave

so removed a couple of mm. And love the difference . Bottom coverstrip now glueing on forearm . Will show pics when done. Right forearm replacement arrived from ross this morning . Other was good but after trimming all flashing . Was rather tight on upper part of forearm and didnt want bigger cover atrips and wanted to keep butt joints . So plan is to use a couple of mm of the flashing and keep the 15mm cover strips and butt joints Right thigh done with exception of trimming the cover strip a little and internal cover strips and a clean up Left shoulder bell and bicep now has elastic on and fits well. After a little hot water bath . Just needs a clean up and Just trying to stop the bridge webbing pulling ever so slightly Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Back with a little update due to work commitments [emoji52] Gloves artived today from isd [emoji6] Great stuff [emoji106] Attached elastic to thighs utilising a black normal belt for now . Attached the elastic with poppers . Arms : Biceps . Trimmed minimal to fit . Elastics added to bicep and shoulder conection. No elastic on shoulder yet wrap around bicep There Was a oversized gap from where shoulder bell would meet shoulder bridges. Tried shortening the elastic a little but that just made the white webbing pull to one side . So a little hot water and looking much better i think :)maybe a few mm too close ? Though to move fully . Bicep needs held up as far as it will go . Mayed slightly shorter elastic bell to bicep? Just dont want it to pull on the webbing Then back to the left forearm. I havent fit the underside coverstrip yet due to sizing once bicep and shoulder were done . Do i need a little more off the bottom u think ? Quite good movement but cant move my hand too much before its bashing on the wrist end of the forearm. So thinking take a little off the bottom ? Hows it coming along Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
