This better? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn I was really hoping it was going to be okay. It’s been a pain in my butt. Guessing it really needs to be lowered for Centurion approval? If I need to redrill holes I will Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay all—- is this correct for the brow placement? It looks high to me but I really hope it’s okay it’s been a pain in the butt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, I will work on the other set of thighs, kidney, and biceps with abs paste to see if that makes it better. I have ordered the sandpaper and shine that you posted in the thread so hopefully all that helps. I made my white elastic between the chest and back shorter last night so maybe that will keep the back from dropping too low. I will post pictures once I get the kidney fixed to see if that makes it better. I ordered the thigh garter system so waiting on it to come in so once it does I'll post with the thighs on and go from there. thanks everyone for the help so far.

Great. I used the apoxie stuff that I saw on another thread where someone did the shims on their thighs. It doesn’t sand down very easily so I will have to figure something out. I bought two suits one to paint for fun and the other for 501st. So I might just replace the kidney and start over again with the shims and use abs paste but that scares me cause everyone says it can harm the kit. I started with a steal brush to sand down and then switched to 120 then 160 sanding blocks and about an hour of sanding. Here are my thighs and biceps because I had to shim them too... I’m not done painting since the apoxie dries grey, but if you think I need to switch it to abs paste I will on the other set and put those aside for the fun set that I’m completely painting navy and gold.

Great I will add use heat on the back plate and change out the shims. I have been using a heat gun for heat for the arms and biceps, would a hot water bath work better?

It’s TK Armor. It’s super sturdy. I bought it cause I got two suits which I wanted and wasn’t wait listed on getting it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't have a picture of the bunching, but what happens is if i lift the chest and ab higher the back pieces drops and bunches up with the kidney piece. I will take a picture when I get home from work this afternoon and post it to show what I mean. Do I need shim the kidney piece more or attach shims to the ab piece to fix that spacing? I am trying to build to centurion level if I am able to with my body size. The stretching of the middle strap from the butt to the ab piece might be the shorts I am wearing. I will but the under suit on for the pictures this afternoon hopefully that will help

Yes the ab/cod can go higher but when i pull it up, the back/kidney/butt pieces bunch up. I have 3 snaps attached from kidney to butt, do I need to add more or move the outside ones closer to the edge of the butt piece? The flashing you mean is to cut the plastic shoulder straps down some?
