Thanks, my only choice will be the ImperialBoots which as mentioned is closed due to weather and wave release. I will continue to watch for when they will take orders, in the meantime, should I start on torso or thighs, etc, or wait for boots. I was filling ukswrath’s build thread. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not yet, should I order and then continue from there with the lower legs? Can you provide who I should order from in terms of boot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I have the arms complete in terms of fitting and strips. Next is my effort on the calves. Can I get any advise on where the should fit or align. I need to trim some from the length at the bottom, but want to make sure I don’t cut too much off... where should they align at the top and bottom. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do I reshape then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should upper arm be so oval and oddly fitting to arm. Making it a little more round will provide a better fit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See attached pick of oval tight on strip ends, more round will fit evenly, as for forearms, do these look right. More round would evenly fit forearms Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I heard about washing in hot water to mold/reshape to fit better. Refer to it as washing! Looking on how this is done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks a lot! I will fix and continue on. Can you tell me how to wash them for fitting/shaping. I assume I need to remove the plastic, then not sure from there. Plan to wrap this up this week to move onto the legs unless body is better to do first. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, how does this look before I reglue them down and do the others! Thanks for all the help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry man, can I get the link for the gallery? Found member one, but think you mean picture gallery of armor images. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can I get a picture of what the strips should look like on the ends? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The last picture shows the gap between the armor and strip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then do I need to remove the exterior strips and cut them shorter? I though the strips where to be slightly longer to cover the ends if they don’t come together flush??? Can I dermal it down flush? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought the should extend slightly past the armor. Are you saying they should not? I will need to remove them all and cut shorter. How do I reshape them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, just finished up the arms. Thoughts? Feedback on the strips and whether they need redone? Some have small gaps (see last 2 pics). Also how to reshape in a wash? Lastly what should I start on next body or legs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the liner. Where did you pick this up at and did you attach via Velcro to the kid? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank. The small split on the should bell edge, I will super glue a small piece on the inside. Should I make any type of paste on the outside to coder the crack as well? How do you I do that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, can I get one final review before adding strips. I have sand the edges and am ready to glue but one last review provided is appreciated. How does the height alignment and gaps look? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do these look? Can I sand and apply strips? What part should follow? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh also Rat, should I trim the bottom of the bicep to align with the shoulder bell per your advise Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotcha and makes sense. Also does the strips cover the entire lip of the lower part of the forearm? I had to taper a bit and so it doesn’t cover in its entirety. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Already fellow TKs, I think this is ready to be sanded and scored for e6000 and strips. Can I get your final thoughts. Maybe I will do the other arm first before gluing. The heat gun made a difference, key is to hold it with aluminum foil! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Needs to be more like this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I got what you are saying. I just need to cut the outer forearm as shown. Also see how it is shaped like a football and. Or round. This is what I ask about reshaping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
