BRYZORD Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 So im thinking about ordering my armor from AP. Question is, Trimmed or untrimmed. So im wondering, if i order untrimmed *which is $200 cheaper* what tools will I need to trim it? and is there a souce of instructions that I can follow step by step so that way I don't mess anything up and have to order another kit Thanks!

Cantina Security[501st] Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 To answer your question, a good sharp utility knife, Lexan scissors , or tin snips will do the trick. Sand paper and a dremel tool come in super handy. Do as Mathias suggests and check the forums for teqniques and other specifics, but mainly , you don't need a lot of expensive tools, go for the un trimmed ...

I'm Batman[501st] Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 go for the un trimmed ... Cause then you can trim it to YOUR size, not just about right that might need more trimming anyway. There's some good youtube videos on Trooberbay.com as well. Not perfect but will give you agood idea of what's involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribon72[TK] Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Bryan, maybe I can help. If you're comfortable purchasing the best tools (from Home Depot or Lowes), here are the first tools to get: Quality utility knife, I'm using a Irwin utility knife (get a pack of blades) Edited February 15, 2014 by Haribon72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribon72[TK] Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Cutters. I use the Wiss M3 Get plumbers sand paper tape to sand down your parts. Its the best I use other tools and materials for my build. Here's my photo gallery (i'm not done with my build yet). Yes, I like pictures because it shares the journey of the build. I hope this helps. https://plus.google.com/photos/107611232966841542690/albums/5963076615745366737 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I use a dremel, or should I say a cheaper branded one, makes sanding down edges and corners a breeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) sorry I was late to the party.... I would order the trimmed.. this way all you need to to is trim the legs and arms the helmet bolts together with no work... and it saves you ton's of time.. let AP trim it for you and you save time and headaches. I know.. I work with AP none of the other people who have answered this thread know anything about how AP does his work but me. it's worth the extra money... and I know because I work with AP everyday. PM me and I'll help you assemble it.. in fact if you order it trimmed and assembled I do the assembly.
