Looks like a tight fit from what I can see. did you cut the return edges from the bottoms of the bicep btw? How is your movement? Restrained at all?

Looks tight, but mabe its the angle of the photo.  Dont worry about the glue if you're using E6K, i've made a few mistakes and was able to take it off pretty easily.

 

If you're feeling overwhelmed, work on the shoulder bells......  See you're done!

Bahaha! Yeah...shoulder bells...that's next :D

 

Starting on the forearms...the sheer quantity of material that needs to be cut off makes me nervous :P

Don't mind at all... I'm 5'11" and around 190lbs. Yeah man, I've been following your build, it's looking great so far--it's what helped get me off my butt to get started. Well, that and I'm leaving all the parts on my kitchen counter till its built :P (yes, I live alone most of the time :D)

 

I see you're in Houston, I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point. I'm just north of Dallas.

Man if i lived alone my armor would have been done weeks ago lol. Just remember i too am new to building, so i am no expert :) . Good thing about being slimmer than the larger trooper is that there is plenty of extra ABS for cover strips and shims!

:D No kidding!

 

Okay on to the forearms...

 

There's a bigger gap than I'd like at the wrist, mostly from trying to shove the giant rubber gloves through them...

I think I may use a pair of cloth gloves as a stand in till I get some nomex gloves, and trim it down a little more.

 

Otherwise, it was far easier to stick the glove in the forearm before putting my hand in it--its long enough to come almost to the back of it, and then sliding my hand in is much easier.
