Right thigh trimmed, return edges gone Still to do back, can just get 2 fingers between armour and thigh, too tight?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome guide and great job. Probably going to have to do the same to my thighs. Do you recall what grade sandpaper you finished with? Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the clarification, saw some photos online where you could clearly see them, kinda expected it wouldn’t meet centurion standard which I’m trying for. I’ll add, read up on abs paste, to my ever increasing too do list. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep aligned nicely at the bottom. Still gotta take return edges off, including at the bottom. Got space in the lower thigh to taper it. Is it possible to only have a shim showing near the upper thigh? Anyone got any good reference pics? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right thigh 20mm cover strip on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After yesterday’s armour party where I was given many good tips I spent the afternoon trimming the fronts of my thighs so they are only just wide than the 20mm cover strip. And making the cover strips. Had a bit of an issue with the right thigh after getting ahead of myself but think I’ve managed to salvage it. Will probably need shims on the back of the thighs though, hoping to avoid it. Have spent 2 hrs trying to align the sniper knee. This seems to be the best I can get but it’s crooked, will need some tips. Of course it fits perfectly on the right! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep will take another photo with boots once I swap things around Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, always good to check these things before cutting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Calves are measured up there is an overlap of about 12mm on each leg, so that will allow me to trim enough to get the 20mm cover strip positioned well. Going to save thighs to the armour party as may be able to taper back of thigh to narrow near knee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, feels like it wants to burst, and that’s with me only being able to flex my knee 40 degrees Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This may be a better background, trimming the top return edge may allow me to move it up higher. Only really enough space for 1-2 fingers between armour and top of thigh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all for the comments, quads are pretty tight and whilst I'd like to taper i dont know if there is physically the space to do it. I was going to take more off the top once i had sorted out the diameter of the thighs. Was hoping to be a bit more progressed before the armour party but guess I could wait on the thighs, and start on the calves instead.p Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

I’ll get another photo tomorrow, I blame the Missus for the shadows, just don’t tell her that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, so width are bottom looks ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
Also base of the thighs flares out a lot, does this somehow need to be tapered? Also does the alignment at the base look ok? Sorry for all the questions, just want to get it right Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I’m back after a small hiatus, decided to start working on the legs. Just wanted some advice before I start trimming, my thighs are not small so I don’t feel I can really get away with trimming anything near the cover strips. The mid thigh is pretty tight.

Fixed frown let me know if it will be good for centurion Tried to model voicecoder on CRL photo, still needs finishing touch, shape ok? Given I’ve got a big noggin, how much can I trim from the bucket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only about 1/2 way, other things seem to get in the way Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Thanks, so lose both? Going for centurion so will be busting out the toothpick to tidy up. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Need to tidy up slightly once dry? Or is it ok? Do I need a bigger gap between the far right teeth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
