gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Don't leave too much of an overhang as it will catch on other pieces , keep up the good work you will be kitted up in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redforce[TK] Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Both forearms have been assembled..the edges need some clean up still. The right forearm is a real tough, stubborn one to deal with for sure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyItsAdam[TK] Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Quick question: how tough is it to slide your hand into and through the opening with both seams sealed shut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRISTONAMO Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 The forearms look great, I can't wait to see the helmet finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redforce[TK] Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Quick question: how tough is it to slide your hand into and through the opening with both seams sealed shut? I can get it through. I have to squeeze my thumb inside my hand to do it. It's really tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redforce[TK] Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 The forearms look great, I can't wait to see the helmet finished Thanks! I am assembling all of my armor but, my CO is going to assemble the helmet. It's enough that the armor will take me forever to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo[TK] Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Looks good. The cover strips should have the end corners cut with a slight chamfer. Other than that, keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader Rocks Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 You're moving right along on this build, keep up the good work. Looks great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redforce[TK] Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 fully assembled forearms and biceps. I have a little bit of cleaning up to do on the edges and what not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redforce[TK] Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Ok. Moving onto shins. Question. Which is the inner/outer? There is a really thick/wide one and a thinner one. Also...which is the standard cover strip width (IN INCHES) for these? Edited March 29, 2013 by Redforce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTrooper[TK] Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The inner shins have a more curved shape. When you trim the front for the coverstips and hold the pieces together you will see it more easily. Your last pic looks like the right leg shin parts.

Locitus[Admin] Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Also...which is the standard cover strip width (IN INCHES) for these?1 inch = 25.4 mm 1/8th = 25.4/8 = 3.175 mm 20 mm / 3.175 = 6.29/8th of an inch 15 mm / 3.175 = 4.72/8th of an inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
