Just checking in. Feels like I’m moving like a herd of turtles, but I’m making progress. Seems like there’s so much more to do.
- everything is trimmed, except separating the cod from the body.
- biceps and forearms are sized and inner strips are glued front and back. Just need the outer cover strips and a final sanding to make them pretty
- inner strips glued on the fronts of thighs and shins
- ordered my boots, neck seal and most exciting, my blaster
- picked up all my snaps, elastic, straps, Velcro. Going to get rivets and replacement visor tomorrow
- got my under armor top/pants
I’m stumped how to size the thighs and shins for length. How much mobility do you guys have? I’m assuming that you can bend your knees without too much trouble? Can you sit? Do the thighs go right into your bum? (As a reference of how short I am - My shins go a good three inches above my kneecap now.)
Is there a good reference pic or thread of someone being sized for length? I definitely don’t want to take off too much or alter the curve/shape more than I have to.
Is there a standard for how much space should be between all the parts?
I’m loving going through the build threads. You guys give me hope that I can do this!
