  2. Cover strip sheets

    I'm excited to feel if it makes a difference in walking at all when I'm done! Currently waiting on a new right thigh and ammo belt cause..Stuff happens.

    But in the meantime, does anyone have any good illustrations of how to shim the kidney plate? Since my weight gain I've got about a good 1" 1/2 gap between that and my ab plate and I know thats not accepted.

    So your talking like this? I was wondering if someone can confirm that this is acceptable? It looks a lot more comfortable and cleaner9c65d2f10d94a7ecc9e56ca554548845.jpg

    Correct however, if you trim the lower edge of the thigh, up to the cover strip itself giving yourself more walking room then you'll kill two birds with one stone.

    Hello! First time poster here! Although I've been reading the forums on and off for a few years now, I ordered my ATA kit about 4 years ago and I only got around to "finishing" it about two years ago. I put finish in quotations because Its not fully complete yet until I get better boots, a holster, and some TD clips made. But it is wearable and I've gone out in it a couple times.

    Here is my current issue- when I assembled the thighs way back when, I was a tad thinner than I am now, at least in the thigh area, and I don't think the thighs fit up quite as high as they need to, I'm finding it very hard to bend my knees at all and it hurts a lot to walk unless I forcibly pull my thigh armor up a bit while walking, so I think that I need to remove the back cover strips and put wider ones on to give me the extra bit of space to go up higher, but I'm out of the abs sheets for the cover strips. I was wondering if anyone knows a fast convenient place to go pick up, or order some.

    Thanks! Hope to get completely done soon and submit to the 501st and join in trooping!
