    Hi Ryan, I think Dan covered most points that I spotted. The shins are definitely an issue that will hold you back. Can I ask why you used such a large strip in the back of the thighs? Looking at the small gap below, it doesn't appear that have been necessary, but obviously I don't know the full story here. I am surprised that you are having shin closure trouble since I am of a similar build with ATA and didn't have this issue at all.

    Only other thing that I would recommend is gluing your shoulder bridges a bit lower on the chest. Most people have around 3 small bumps in addition to the big bump glued to the chest plate, and your can see your straps coming down pretty low over the back plate.

    Hi Luc,

    Thanks for the response! I talked to my local garrison at Boston Comic Con and they were able to help me and demonstrate how to fix some of my issues. The reason my shins weren’t closing was because I didn’t have a strong enough Velcro and I switch to an industrial Velcro and that worked like a dream. For my thighs though I have to have bigger cover strips for the back because my thighs are a bit too big so I had to make some adjustments.

    This is my first ever armor set I've made and I've been working on it for almost two years now. I never really knew much before I started working on the armor and I'm still learning more stuff everyday about the hobby. I bought the neck seal off of eBay as well as my holster (I'd be glad to give the links) and I bought the boots of off Amazon. I've been saving up money to buy a pair of TK Boots. I'm working to get to EIB and eventually Centurion status but for right now I'm just looking to get basic approval. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    I'm aware of some of the issues, my left shin can't close properly even after I made the back strip wider and added more velcro. I'm not sure if I should switch my method and use hooks instead. Also, I'm not sure if I need to push the knee plate out further because after looking at the pictures it seems to have gotten caught on the thigh armor. Also, I'm not sure if my thing armor is too low and I may need to fix that.
