RedSpecial[TK] Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Ive noticed the AP buttplate seems to run a little flat at the section where the snaps are installed. This might not cause an issue for the taller troopers but for us shorties it can have the effect of making the armor look like this : It takes away from the look of the whole suit and restricts your mobility but its easily fixed All you have to do is bend the tab into the correct shape then apply heat for a few minutes until the plastic becomes flexible, a hot air gun or even a hair dryer will do the job. Once thats done just hold the piece in place for a few minutes to let the plastic cool and set in place. Your armor should then look something like this : Not only will you have a fabulous lookin bum you'll also have greater mobility and less pinching. Well other than the pinching you'll get from members of the public Edited July 29, 2012 by RedSpecial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
