Dressing the edges after trimming


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have been looking around for information on properly "dressing the edges" of my plates after trimming the flash. Is there a place here that specificly address a proper return on the edges of each piece of armor? I am specificly looking for information on the shoulder bells. I have found that the tops should be trimmed flat to the surface, with no return...but what about the bottom edge that goes around the bicep? Is it also a flat fit, or is it suppose to curve in at all? anyone have some pictures of how these edges should look? or a link to the appropriate thread I'm looking for? Thanks again guys.

Well there should be a visible return edge on the mold of your armour kit.. but I think the only places that do not have returns are sides of the ab and kidney, chest and back. The sides of the bells (so the bottoms do have a return edge), bottoms of forearms (near wrist) and bottom of the greave (near the ankle) as well as the belt. Everything else should have a slight to moderate return edge depending on the make of armour and also comfort/personal preference. So ones that do have returns are all arm and leg pieces save bottoms of forearm and greave, bottom of shoulder bell, chest front, cod piece, back piece (also the tops of the chest and back pieces can have return edges, very slight ones but some people choose to remove for comfort), hand guards, sniper plate but not knee ammo box.

 

You could also just look at someones centurion application for example for close ups of pieces etc if you are still uncomfortable
