If that’s the top of your bicep just cut that mismatched edge and it’s return off altogether. It’s not going to show anyway since your shoulder is going to cover it up.

That’s gracious of you! Thanks and I’ll take you up on that. I was about to go harvest something from my screened in porch although after my sewing machine incident this could save my marriage.

Thanks for the input you guys. I’m currently applying all of your suggestions and getting my pictures up soon.

Shins done. Used canon bra hooks with 20 mm front cover strips and 25mm on the back. One cool thing with the RS armor is you can see where the original holes were for the hooks.


If you look carefully you can see the second hole about mid arrow. The top hole was 4 cm from the top edge and the middle was 22 cm from the top. The bottom wasn’t visible so I put that at 4 cm from bottom.
Also required water bath to get lined up at the back nicely.

Trimmed sniper plate to follow upper shin angle.


Put a good amount of glue on middle of attachment and clamped the hell out of it.


When that was dry moved onto gluing the edges.

Final result.



And that’s all she wrote! Except I have some rear butt/thigh overlap. What do you all think the best solution would be? Here are a couple of quick shots. Don’t judge me on these... I know the sniper plate was behind thigh... I was aiming more to check thigh placement.




Once I get this sorted out I’ll get my pre approval pics up hopefully later this week.

Thanks for the input fellas. I have the day off an I’m snowed in so touching up details, painting rivet/screw heads and picking off bits of e-6000 here and there. Sniper plate is clamped and gluing with pics to follow. Just need to glue thigh garters on and done!

I think I’m only a few days away from submitting my pre approval pics. Do you all mind looking over my helmet for any improvements? I built it early on before starting my build thread. Thanks!

Just picked this up on Craigslist today for $30. I think I need to alter the pose to be a little less sexy

Although with a dlt-19 in those arms....

Thanks Tony. Your actually right, they are not aligned well enough yet. Going to have to trim down the lower strip and one edge a bit.

Finally making the last few steps. I just started attaching the bra hooks for the calf closure. Just checking if this gap is right/expected when looking from the inside.

Yea that settles it. I’m going to do the honorable thing and tell her the kids were screwing with it

Sound advice... I’ll give it a try as is but at least have a good idea how to fix it if I really have to. Now my next challenge is to explain to my wife when she gets home from work what I just did to her sewing machine trying to sew my thigh garter straps...
