I am trying to determine where to cut the back of my thigh armor to create a butt joint/ cover strip result. I am using AP armor and want to have a tapered fit of the thigh to fit accurately to my leg. In the first picture, you can see the line drawn where the overlap occurs. In the second picture, the pieces are fitted to show how they will fit together. If I trim along the pencil line, my cover strip will ultimately be place on a diagonal, and as seen in the third photo, and I will have to work around the molding on the bottom of the thigh. I am concerned that this will not look right. If I mark the middle of the top and bottom and draw a straight line down, this would make sense, but the "overlap" molding on the outside leg piece will interfere. 1. Should I trim this overlap off completely first and then draw my cut line? 2. Am I correct to think that I should create a tapered fit? 3. Or, if I am to cut along the pencil line, how do I address the fit near the bottom (photo 3)?
