  1. Return edge on the wrists... does this part get removed? I assume so but am waiting just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Ok. All trimming is done. Now for fitting. I have questions about that. Should I remove return edges before or after I glue the halves of various parts together? I think for the thighs I’ll remove them completely. And then certain pieces you have to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Sounds good. I have a few more pieces to cut out of molds then I get to start truly working on the fit. Just couldn’t wait to try something on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. So does this seem right? How much mobility am I supposed to have? Obviously the bottom return edges go bye bye. The top will need to be trimmed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It did Thanks. You confirmed what I suspected and finally figured out. The molds have excess edge that needs additional trimming after fitting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I can see how happy you look in that photo. Looks great to my eyes! I just got my set and am cutting away. Overwhelmed, scared, but want to get it done for Halloween. Just ordered boots. TKboots has my size luckily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Hey guys... and so it begins. I’ve actually been cutting away since BBB day a little over a week ago. I have one thigh, chest and kidney to go, and a lot of questions. I’ve been reading Ukwrath’s phenomenal instructions. I was lost on the cutting/fitting portion after the initial cuts but think I understand now. When you look at the flat edges where the strips go, they are no the correct width and must be cut to make the connecting strip look clean and correct. Does that pretty much sum it up? So here are random other questions. First, I’m 5’11” 190ish. I’m an athletic build with big legs and broad shoulders. Size 44 suit jacket, 34 waist. I have thunder thighs. They are 24” inches. I cut out the thighs and taped them together. With full return edges they just fit, but not with great mobility. Mind you this is just holding them together butt to butt with painters tape. I measured the outside of the and it was 26”. I don’t have a lot of spare room. How mobile should I be in these? I’d prefer not to shim. Imagine the back I can use a pseudo shim on the inside to make a wider gap to lay the connecting strip over, if that makes sense, and I’ll trim the return edges as much as possible. My other question is on reinforcing and strengthening. The cod piece section seems quite thin. I’ve heard of people using garage sale signs to bolster the return edge areas. Has anyone used miliput or other clay like bonding distance To do it? For now I think that’s all my questions. I’m sure I’ll have more. Thank you all... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Good lord. I’m scared now. I just purchased ANH TK kit, my first. Paying it off on payment plan. Final payment would be June, so I figured once it was paid off it would ship, but now I’m wondering if I made the right decision. The price just seemed right and being new to all this, don’t know where else to get a kit really or for that price. Here’s to hoping for the best I guess....
