Awesome, i figured that i just wanted to make sure is all Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

quick question, I haven't started the shins yet but would it be better to wait for the boots to come in and get those measurements before i start fitting them?
-
new gloves updated! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

great news guys, got new gloves, and carefully got both hand guards off and attached to the new gloves and they are all finished! now back to working on those legs.
-
What sort of remover should I use, i dont want to destroy the hand guards. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
-
any recommendations on how to fix it? should i buy CA glue remover and get a new pair of gloves? I used the anovos supplied ones.
-
then as i was taking the tape off the left hand this happens. it was painters tape very gently removed as well....
-
so got my centurion updated gloves all taken care of.
-
Oh ok, super helpful to know.
-
it definitely fits better with those slight trims
-
trimmed a bit more, down to about a 4mm return edge on top and bottom. this is about as far as my leg will bend.
-
i most likely have a lot of return edge?
-
shins arent trimmed fully just a rough trim. but this is how its fitting, cant bend my legs at all and i know the boots will add some height. where the shins sit as of right now it feels very off
-
i had it sitting as high as it goes and it felt pretty long, the bottom stops right in the middle of my knee
-
another question was the bottom of the leg, i cannot bend my leg at all (wanted to build a TK not C3-P0 ) is it acceptable to cut part of the back out?
-
also found out the point in the back stabs me in the but, so i taped off the portion that should be trimmed, I did not see anything that would hinder centurion qualification but i wanted to make sure before i make a cut. the red line is the top of the cut area.
-
decided to take a break from the back plate for a few days. so time to move onto the legs!
-
-
so no matter what i do the left side wont cooperate i also managed to get a crack.... super frustrating
-
so i tried the boil method (couldn't find the heat gun for the life of me) and i notice only a slight difference to the shape, no problems other than that, and i dont feel it digging into my back as much, only problem is i still have a 2in gap between plates (must have a long torso i guess) what should my next move be?
-
cool stuff, I will be back with some updates on that!
-
so finally got a chance to trim them down, they are at a nice taper, might be hard to see, did the best i could now i believe it is time to reshape, if there are any other comments id love to hear them before i commit to reshaping haha.
-
picture spam, showing off the gap and what it looks like without the gap, with what i trimmed it definitely cuts down on the armor bite, but will definately have to reshape it. the ab plate is as high as it goes without it hitting the groin area to be uncomfortable.
-
did i trim too much then? and how should i fix it if i did?
