cm325i[TK] Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) right shin front (looks good) ------ right shin back (a little off center, but passable I think) ---------- left shin front (looks good, other than the sniper plate pulling the E6000 apart at the sides) ---------- left shin back. Totally got this one screwed up. The cover strip will be so far off center. Not sure how I did that ------------ Edited January 14, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 What exactly is your trouble? The only thing I see is the return edge on the very bottom needs to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DroidHunter Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 What Gaz says. I think he is worried that the split between the two halves does not appear to be symmetrical. TK armor is just like that all over. Its not just the helmet that's wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfox2010[TK] Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Should be ok. Mabe have the cover strip a little more on the left side? If you are planning on making a rounded edge at the top it shouldnt look too noticible. Mabe someone else can add their opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm325i[TK] Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yes, I will remove those returns at the bottom (haven't gotten that far). I was indeed looking at the seam down the back. It should have been more to the left, esp since I'll have the strip offset to the inside for the velcro closure.

maxsteele[TK] Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 If you want perfectly symmetrical, Stormtrooper armor is not what you're looking for! As said above, the return at the bottom needs to be removed. Otherwise, this looks perfectly fine and you are a go to get that finishing strip down on that shin.

fuumantroop[TK] Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Agreed with everyone, it looks good to me. You may just be getting that perfectionist anxiety. I got it as well during my build, you'll find that most shins are lined up identical to this. Good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm325i[TK] Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ok. I removed the ankle return and put the rear cover strip in place. Sent from my ComLink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, of all the build comments yours rings true the best regarding symmetrical. sometimes it looks like an illusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Peter, it looks fine mate, if Steve (Gazmosis) says it's good, it's good. Love the perfectionist anxiety comment , can relate to that as I'm sure you can too Peter. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
