Update! so i went ahead and got ATA replacement forearms. I know that they are not exactly like ANOVOS but i think they will do. what do you all think? I think the right forearm needs to be thinner, but i dont wanna mess it up again.

Sorry for the late reply, but I surely do appreciate the Information. I’m currently looking into getting new replacement forearms (buying supplies for repair is becoming to expensive.. also my lack of experience). Me being new to building armor, I am still not sure what ATA or WTF means. Could someone please clear that up for me?

Hello everyone, this will be my first post... I have always wanted some stormtrooper armor and I saved up enough money to get the Anovos TK stormtrooper kit. I was excited and it would be my first kit I have ever attempted to make. Well my kit came and and everything was coming along smoothly. I completed all my parts and put on the armor. I read somewhere that some people are trimming the armor. I was unable to move my hands up to my helmet so i decided to trim up the forearms. Little did i know that this was a HUGE mistake. I started trimming one forearm from the forward section (near my hands) of the armor. Once i was able to reach my helmet i decided to cut down the armor some more so that there would be less of a gap between the armor and my skin. I was pretty happy with the results but was naive about the consequence. One night I was searching the internet and came across a post about trimming forearm armor and how it should be worn. It then hit me that I was wearing my forearm armor incorrectly, which was causing the lack of movement. So now comes the problem solving... I did some research and some posts were saying that the armor was able to be repaired... so i tried. I was able to put most pieces together with E 6000. However some pieces were missing... I filled in the cracks with some white clay and sanded it down. The color of the clay and the armor did not match and there were cracks in the armor. I was not happy so i decided to get some spray paint. Well, i did the spray paint but it just didn't look right and i fear that my armor will either have really bad looking forearms or have none at all. I attempted to contact ANOVOS for replacement parts but they stated they do not offer any. I'm at a loss right now and unable to decided what the next step will be... attached are some pictures of my screw up...
