  1. With as much as I wanted to keep the original thighs as long as they were, I couldn't do it.  The tops were poking too much into my hips.  

     

    The top inner curve had to be trimmed quite a bit to allow for comfort while walking, so it's definitely narrower in that area than before.  The thigh kept clipping the codpiece in a major way when I walked.  With the armor on, I marked the thigh in the area where I could see/feel the plastic consistently hitting.  It took several mark/trim attempts because I was being very conservative with my trimming.  I can't wait to get the armor re-strapped so I can share pics.   :)

    neither can we :icon_bow: 

  2. Today was a big day....BBB-day :dancing-trooper: (trooper should be black :P )

    Shiny even with the protective plastic still on....too bad there aren`t enough hours in the day to keep working on it...I´m not trimming as fast as I know some of you can...but I´m in no hurry :smiley-sw013:

  3. Haha yeah they´re great for trooping :P and ​thank you for the kind words and again thanks for this awsome tread :salute: and yes, I spent many hours watching this, making adjustments then watching it again and so on..and still not entirely finished...today we`re about to fix the cammostraps and the hook-thingy (thanks again) and still waiting for more accurate buckles and webbing for the "roll" to arrive...it`s been a great project to work on and you can always do tweeks to make it more and more accurate. :)

    Went for a second viewing - but this time we went in style! Please ignore the incorrect straps (the correct ones came to day but didn`t have enough time to replace), the "temp-hook" (also came today, thanks to Mr Paul for making them easy to obtain) and the hastily put together "blasters". And Oh.. my sons shoes :P.

    The antenna cable has fallen out...so much for looking sharp on patrol....oh well, at least it`s in style with the CE prop =)

    Thank you all for the hard work you put in this awsome build-thread :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:  (and....I will replace the webbing as well)

     

    Keep on trooping :smiley-sw013:
