Hi, What I have doing with my shins is just overlap, trim to adjust and apply velcro. I has worked for me to fit better . References Hope this can give some light.

Hi Carter. Personally I have purchased a couple from Ebay I have no issues, (I have first checked the sellers reputation and reviews.) . You may want to take a look there.

Hey Steven, looking great and easy pass for basic approval ! Some details for higher levels you may want to check: The right ear's screw is too close the rank bar and would need to be moved up . The traps need a bit more paint to reach the border. You would need to shorten the shoulder bells straps to reduce the gap and I would recommend to remove the return edge from Bells to make then closer to the chest. You could adjust the forearms height to be levered each other References

Welcome to FISD. !! good luck with your project and we are here to help !

Sorry the read that, Things happens. just a small detail but very noticeable.

looks great! Well done

the red line is ok, you can trim later when you try on the armor and walk around. Keep it up

Great !! That's exactly. What I would do is to trim the lower section return edge a little more as below. Littel return edge References Check the distance and mark with pencil before to check again,

Hi, Matt Great work with the ABS repair. Would you mind to add a photo but aligning the Ab top section with the kidney please ? It would be prefearable to see the complete pieces Top to bottom. Thanks.

It could be my eyes or the photo angle but please check the top the lower ridges alignment, they look like being a little lower . .

Hi Jeremy, welcome to FISD, looking forward for your BBB day photos and hope you consider to take that great set of armor to the highest levels of accuracy Centurion !

Hi James, the sniper knee looks good, a couple of side photos would be great to check the alignment. And It's not a common issue the sides to pop up. just be sure to glue the sides and center. keep up the great work.

Hi Matt, glad to see you were able to remove the rivets with no damage to the plastic. As you can see in the bellow comparison, and this is not the best new I would like to give you but It looks like you will need to relocate the kidney rivets too.

Actually not necessary for accuracy and confort , you could leave a little return edge. The Thread bellow could be so helpful . take a look .

Congratulations Steven!!

looking good matt. just for you to take in account. for higher levels (EIB and Centurion) and for more accuracy the wrist section has no return edge at all. Reference Image Keep up the great job.

Welcome to FISD , good luck with your research and let us know for further assistance.

Great Tutorial.

What could work to avoid the Velcro to go with the belt could be Glue it with E6000 or AC glue . I'm having a similar issue and plan to use AC or E6000 to fix it. .

Welcome to FISD !! good luck with your project.

Congratulations Sam, welcome to EIB ranks.!!!

My personal preference is to start all trimming first. others prefer to satrt with the arms this thread is about return edges and can be useful . also you can check this useful thread
