PiettLives[TK] Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 2 RT-Mod suits! Lucky dude! Congrats and good luck on your "builds". Do lots of research and make sure you start a build thread yourself to document and also for questions. Welcome to the Legion in White.

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Make sure you do some taped test fits before you glue stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger7788 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 cutting 15mm cover strips today for inside and outside of bicep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi Gunslinger, nice armour kit you got there, and definitely worth the wait. As suggested already, check out the Centurion build threads on RT Mod, only a couple of minor mods and you be glad you did it. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Tusken RTT Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Looks like from our photo references, the cover strip would stop at the shorter side (see bicep on the left). I was not sure, but others will chime in to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunslinger7788 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) So Far this has been the hardest part and the biggest chance of failure, the snipers knees has been a real challenge. i hope it right!!

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Sniper plate is indeed challenging. Looking good though!! You may want to take a little more off of the wrist return edge based on what I can see in the one picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narc[TK] Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That looks like you have connected two inners and two outers. RTMod is built for overlap. The notches at the tips are for overlap. Look at the bulge for your calf muscle. Also, don't forget to have the overlap at the back for your join (Velcro or whatever) so that it's opening faces inward so it cannot easily be seen by anyone looking.

gunslinger7788 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) wow, i didn't see a difference, there glued now.!!!! I am butting all pieces together, using cover strips. Can i place a cover strip on the back for use with the velcro? arent the calf muscle the same right leg or left? should i try to seperate and re-glue??
