So I had a pretty busy bank holiday last weekend trimming my armour and I've now got most of it mostly done, I've got a little tidying to do on some pieces and then some fine sanding before fitting. I did cheat a little and grab Wilko's own version of a Dremel to get rid of most of the material as using the scissors with this 2mm armour was killing me.
I reduced the padding in my helmet after some advice from an armourer and it still fits snugly while allowing better air circulation.
This weekend, I did some work on a few of the smaller bits so I've now cut the 15mm deep drop boxes, painted my ab buttons and made the TD, I've just got to put the clips on now.
Here's a picture of me all taped up with the thighs on, as I was a little worried that they are too long for my thighs, as you can see my knees are completely behind the armour piece itself and that's as high as I can get the ab/cod. My armourers have said to carry on with the kit so we can see it with my shins and ab on properly but any advice for the future for this would be greatly appreciated.
I've also ordered everything else apart from my blaster so that should all start arriving soon.
