Thank you Rat and Nick!

Hello, Thanks for the previous feedback, I am feeling confident with the left forearm and I have trimmed the raised ridge edge to about 15mm (still sanding/refining it). Sorry to bring this up again, however, I am nervous about the right forearm because of the shallower ridge at the seam (ridge might not be the right term as it is more of a flat area). To make it easier to see in the photo I put blue tape along the edge of the flat area: My question is, do I trim this piece down to 15mm as well so that it would look like this? (If I do, what do I do about the taper at the end?) Or is it okay to leave it larger like this? I have pretty thin forearms so I don't need to make extra room, I just want to be sure I am being accurate. Finally, when I trim the oppose side to size it, do I take an even amount from each edge or do I adjust it so that the seams end up directly across from each other? Thank you, Alex

Thank you Rat and Joseph!

Hello, I am getting ready to size the forearm pieces and I have some questions about the cover strip. All I have done so far is cut out the pieces and remove the return edge at the wrists. The left and right forearms are different at the front facing seams, the left forearm has a raised very pronounced ridge and the right forearm has a shallower appearing ridge. How much of the ridge is covered by the cover-strip, is it 100% or should a slight amount of the ridge be showing? Should the coverage be consistent down the length of the forearm? Currently the raised ridge on the left forearm has more at the elbow than at the wrist. Should the amount of the ridge that the cover-strip covers match on both arms? I would have to trim quite a bit off the right forearm. Thank you, Alex

Thank you Ensi for the photo help!

Hello, This is my first build and I have the Anovos OT armor. I am shooting for Centurion level if I can. I have just started cutting out the biceps and I have a few questions. All I have done is cut along the trim lines, I have not sized it to me yet and will straighten them out better and sand them down at that point. 1) On one side the pieces line up perfectly on the top and bottom but on the other side the top is longer, I am worried that this will get worse when I size it down a little, is there something that I need to do? Or does the cover strip hide that issue? 2) Does it matter what half I use to size it down, the outer arm piece or the inner arm piece? 3) How much of the return edge do I trim off on the top and bottom? Thank you, Alex I have updated the photos using IMGUR, I hope that it works now!
