I decided to start with the arms and work from there. First step was trimming. I did a combo of cutting with curved Lexan scissors and score/snap technique. I started with the wrists since I knew I was shooting for centurian and those are completely cut off. I didn't sand them down too well since I figured I would have to trim some length off. Next was getting the return edges down. I went with 3mm (1/8in) based on other builds and videos. I think I figured out L and R but confirmation would be great!!
L forearm- Front: 11 dimples, Back: has the curve at the bottom
R forearm- Front: 12 dimples, Back: straight
L Bicep: Front: little swoop up?, Back: no dimple/thumb print
R Bicep: Front: Straight?, Back: dimple/thumb print
Next step is getting the sides trimmed down.
The cover strip for the arms is 15mm, which means I need to trim these sides! Figured I would leave an extra 1-2mm so I'll trim down the sides to 8.5 mm.
It seems most people tape/put in the inner cover strip on the outside and make adjustments from the inside. But I did see a build of a shorter trooper that adjusted both front and back. Thoughts??
