Four years after purchasing my TK Armor from the initial Anovos run, I am finally starting my build. This will be my first trooper build of any kind. After researching many threads here, I have tamed my OCD enough to begin. I created a physical binder of @ukswrath build/tutorial that I am following along with. Having been an RPF member for some years now, I am happy to see the community over here on FISD is just as good (if not better) and full of experienced members assisting each other and noobs like myself. I'm not shooting for the moon here, especially with this being my first armor build, so hoping for entry level approval at the minimum.
Height - 6'-2"
Weight - 200lb
Build - Average/Square
Any feedback and/or assistance from you awesome members is greatly appreciated!
NOTE: I have test fit the forearm with my under armor on.
Step 1 - Forearm fitment (trimmed to Anovos scored lines or slightly more. I still have to remove more material on the front to get closer to that 15mm width for the cover strip.)
1a - Is this TOO much room at my wrist?
1b - The Upper Front Side and Upper Back Side is tight/on the verge of pinching skin. Looks like I will be adding a small shim at the back...
1c - So I'll most likely be shimming the back, maybe bring wrist in some?, but as you can see there's a decent gap as-is already at my elbow when relaxed at my side...
So far with the few test fits I've done, my body is kind of annoying me right now. It seems like my appendages are JUST over the standard trim/score lines on these pieces...
