Darth Hilarious Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I am quite skinny. I've trimmed the biceps and forearms of my suit, but the shoulder bells don't sit nicely around the bicep! Is there a trick for closing them a little? (heatgun, maybe?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 i wouldn't worry too much, once you wear the rest of the armour, all of you will be/look much bigger so it would make it look normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was partly thinking that. Also, I don't mind Warhammer 40K shoulders. I guess I'm just a bit over-worried about making things fit nicely. Thanks for the super quick reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 No problem! And if you still think it looks weird, try posting a picture and the rest of us here could give you some input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 What type of armor is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 FX (or a recast thereof, which seems more than likely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felgercarb Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have a similar problem with my Shoulder Bells....if i put them into what i consider a comfortable position they are actually under my bridges. Been looking for a solution to it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperVenger Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Any chance of getting some pictures of you wearing them? Maybe then we can figure out some sort of solution for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkTrooper[TK] Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yeah, I chopped close to three inches off my first FX shoulders. Maybe a little too much but they were HUGE. They practically covered my entire arm, reaching my elbows. I ended up replacing the elbows, chest & back with TE lineage armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Here's how I modified a set of AM shoulders which are pretty much the same as FX shoulders. ----------------- Edited December 17, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKRobert Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Mine weren't huge on me but I modified them anyway just a bit by heating them and squeezing them tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sorry for the lack of pics. I would post some now, but I've already gotten helpful answers. Just to explain (which I should have already done), I'm not concerned about the length of the bells, but the girth is ridiculous on my skinny arm. I think I'll have a crack at heating them and pressing them closed. Thanks everyone. The next round of blue milks are on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john danter Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm selling my flexible hips ones for £20 mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm selling my flexible hips ones for £20 mind? I'm slightly tempted... but I'll decline. If I screw these ones up, and yours are still for sale, however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
