Hello all, sorry for being scarce but been taking care of some stuff. I started where I left off and will post some more photos so you all can check my adjustments on my armor.

I tried and resized. I think it is the way I maybe standing. but I will retake the photos tomorrow once I get the strip corrected and better lighting. Thanks for the eagle eye.
-
Ok, I just got to resize the pictures when I correct that.
-
After a few adjustments, I think I got the armor sitting ok. I could actually see out of the helmet finally.
-
Well I put some padding on the sides and it seems to work but I will see.
-
True, I seen that in the Original helmets. I have a little 1/4 inch padding and will try that on the sides.
-
Yeah, just getting the little details done and trying to get the helmet popping up when I put it on. I am thinking of making a chin strap to help keep it from popping up when I put it on and all I can see is though the grin grill.
-
I had to make a modifications to the thighs. I ended up getting a nasty bite from the rear of the thighs, so I trimmed it down a bit.
-
Ok all, I finally did a full armor up after endless mods and strapping issues. Only Issue now is the helmet. It keeps riding up and just got to figure out a fix. Here are some pictures and welcome opinions and feedback.
-
I adjusted the straps and still need to tighten the arm straps cause still getting a little bite. Also need to bring the chest plate down just a bit cause the bucket rides up and can't see anything. May need to pull the padding from the top.
-
I went ahead and added an extra snap fastener to the armor and hope it helps with the fitting issue of the chest and ab plate.
-
yeah, one of the straps popped off.
-
did some strap adjustments and adding some shims to help close my shins with Velcro. Just have a little more to go.
-
Yeah, I added one in the middle because of no snap. I may or will change that to a snap/elastic one.

Here is the butt piece with the V-Tabs. They work nicely and no sticking out for the butt piece.
-
Here is the topic name. Just search: Butt plate/ lower back plate overlap?? and scroll down and you should see the instructions for making the V-tabs.
-
I did some adjustments on the abdominal piece and butt. ABS that I constructed from Glens tutorial to keep it in place, to include adjusting the strapping on the butt and ab piece. Now I have to find a way to keep the left calf piece from moving and sit in place. I seen some few post that some troopers use Velcro straps on the boots and bottom of the calf piece. I will try that and see how it works out.

I ment the should bridge strap.
-
no, they are snap.
-
Yeah, I caught a nasty armor bite with the cod piece. I also have to replace the shoulder strap velcro because it came off during the test fit.
-
I know the pictures look a little shaky and I still have to do a little tweaking on the cod piece and my arm pieces need a little work. Any feedback would be appreciated.
-
Ok, Will do. Thanks for the feedback.

Well I did a test fit of the Ab and Thighs after the resize and took a few pictures. I may need to bend up the cod piece a bit to tighten a bit.

Well just a little update on what I been working on when I could. I had to do a bit of trimming on my legs and paint/clear coat them for a little scratch resistance and cover up a grandkiddo stain. Not a picasso but had to do with what I had.
