  1. Hope to see you finish this build when time permits Paul. You got skills. Ever need an extra hand am not far away.
  2. When all your magnets and clamps are in use you can still find something to do.
  3. JAN 30TH 2021- zoom troop Cameron park library story time MAY 1ST 2021- 501st day California Aerospace museum MAY 4TH 2021- star wars day at fairytale town
  4. I use those pads that Glen just posted. Just around the sides of helmet not the top.
  5. You could move them to the back and trim from the front since there can be no return edge at wrist area of forearm.
  6. Second forearm almost finished Right thigh fits perfect after first trim left one needs a little more trimming to fit better
  7. Fully finished forearm just needs a little cleaning. I started adjusting the length because the forearms are just way too long on my arms I can barely take my own bucket off.
  8. I also want to address the butt plate. That one irks me the most. Any ideas? am thinking of trimming the butt plate in more. Because it looks as though the thigh pushes it up.
  9. So after trooping is when you really find the small tweaks you need to do to adjust your armor. Since my 1st in person troop looking at pictures I noticed my forearms were way too long so I shortened them. I also noticed my shoulder bells were a little spaced so I brought them in a lot closer. Now after this second troop I feel I need to adjust strapping on my abdomen to chest so it comes down a little more and also raise thighs higher. Also thinking of doing a little more shortening of the forearms and maybe even bottom of the shins. I noticed small crack in the sniper plate after the first troop must be from thighs pushing it. So I made some ABS paste to fix that problem. I also removed some helmet padding because when adding it I didn't factor in the balaclava and mic set up. So it was super tight to get off. Circled are problem areas I am going to address.
  10. Got to troop on may 4th at a place my kids frequent quite often. Fairytale town star wars day.

  11. Nice going to check it out now.
  12. Yea I was going to mention thighs also. Maybe adjust the padding inside the bucket as well so it sits better on your head.
