Forearms?

[kyle88]

I have been looking around and can't find the answer I'm looking for. If trimming the forearms, which end do I trim first? It is too big length wise. And also where should I trim up to? Especially the top of the forearm armor where the bumps are. Thank you

Which armor are you working with?? Pics are also a great help in accurately assisting you

we usually line up the forearms from the wrist as a starting point.

 

then you can adjust the diameter to fit, then you can reduce the length at the elbow.

photos of your armor part and your arm help quite a bit.

 

Armor make?

length of arm?

diameter of arm at widest point on elbow?

 

Armor length?

Armor diameter?

I do it the opposite way to Vern. I line up the elbow first and then trim the wrist since there is supposed to be no return edge there to govern how long or short the forearm can be.

I am working with the NE I believe it's called. I figured I would do wrist, but wanted to ask. I will get pics to you guys asap. thank you for replying back so fast.

Troopermaster is right, especially with NE armor, line up elbow and trim wrist and get rid of the return edge. Post picture of your build!

Will do. Thank you.
