Will do that tomorrow! Thanks!

My diameter of the caps is 68 mm

Thank you very much! That’s exactly what I needed to know!

So I had a question about the thermal detonator. There’s plenty of talk about the clips for it, but what is the cylinder actually made of and where do I get it?

I’m working on getting rubber gloves, hopefully will have those soon!

Elastic loop sounds like the way to go for plastic hand guards, I’ll do that until I get some rubber ones!

Those thighs were the biggest issues, sizing them down should help a good bit. The problem with the shins not resting on my boots is that my boots are too large, I’ll have to make some kind of modification in order to have the shins cover them entirely. And I’ll look into that build thread! I’m sure it’s very useful! Thanks!

I’ll work on those thighs more, they’re difficult. The knee plate was a bit of a challenge to get on but I could tell it needed a bit of a fix. The backs of my shins do not have any cover strips, just Velcro holding them together, where would I put the cover strip there? My biceps are halfway done, one side still needs to be cover stripped, the other is good. Thanks for this!

Right! I’ll try that. My armor builder is actually Matt Gauthier, who I didn’t realize until after I’d made my purchase was on the “Individuals to avoid” list. I was pretty worried I’d been scammed for a while but the armor came with everything as listed, helmet assembled, ab buttons on, even a week earlier than expected. It’s just a sizing issue really.

Oh, it’s just the ones posted on my very first post. Sorry should have clarified. Here: http://imgur.com/a/n36IFZH

I finished a rough draft of the armor...a very rough draft... the thighs, kidney, and posterior seem to give me the most issues. Any suggestions based on my photos?

Very handy! (Ha get it?) One thing I can't seem to figure out is how to attach the hand plates to the gloves. Glue? Velcro? Sew them on somehow?

That helps a lot thank you!

Ohhh...okay! I thought that was required but that would explain why it bites so much, it isn't meant to be there.

So just clean it up a bit more?

Should I reglue the snaps I have set to make it stay that way? Also how do I measure how long to make the strapping?

Can I get some opinions on this arm? It looks completely wrong when I curl it up, I don’t know what I did wrong? http://imgur.com/a/4XoDKpA

Great! Thanks.

How's the noise of the fans? Do people ever notice that you have them?

Also, I'm seeing a lot of talk about fans and speakers being important. I intend to buy them, but how long should I wait before doing so?

That makes a lot more sense, thank you! I'll get to that as soon as I get home. What would you say is the best way to remove E6000?

The thighs are pretty big, and so they don't match up perfectly. I was able to glue the back side together with a lot of clamps but the two front sides are so far apart that it doesn't seem like they would stay together long enough to glue. I posted a picture of the thigh piece in my Google Photos album, but I'll try and take the advice of @justjoseph63 and get those switched to imgur.

That’s useful information! I’ll keep it in mind for future reference. But I think since my current specs match up better with stunt I’ll officially switch to ANH stunt. It’s all pretty smooth so far, the main thing giving me trouble is the thigh armor. Glueing one side is hard enough, the other seems impossible. Any tips?

Sounds almost like it’d be easier just to switch to an ANH stunt at this point, though for basic acceptance the CRL does state that four bars is allowed, but three for EIB.

That’s good to know! I didn’t even notice. Could I use some ABS paste to fill that in? I got a big plate of extra ABS along with it but am unfamiliar with how to properly apply ABS paste. Also that’s a very helpful link, thanks!
