Quebectrooper Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Wow your kit looks so much better than the usual FX. Yes good idea look at my chest pics i did that. I'd say the toughest part to mod is the chest. Unlike others its straight wich makes it hard to sit well on the belly. I need to work on that too but i don't wanna damage it by trying to bend the top. I tought about removing the return edge on the top of the ab plate wich is covered by the chest plate anyways that way it would'nt push so much on the chest.

I hadn't thought about cutting off that return to help lay the chest flat.....hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert not the bottom return on the chest right ? The top return edge on the ab plate : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKRobert Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Robert not the bottom return on the chest right ? The top return edge on the ab plate : Correct, it has an unnecessary, in my opinion, return on the top of the ab plate. Wondering if that may help the chest sit a little better. That and some straps from chest to back which I see a lot of people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKRobert Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks Daetrin, well considering how I felt at the start of all this when I realised the mistake I had made in purchasing "FX" armour, yeah feeling pretty good.
