9AF037F6-CE23-478E-B66C-E25597C299F3_zps - tried the legs on - thighs feel alright - left shin wants to rotate inwards. Thoughts? Was thinking an elastic stirrup strap under foot to hold it.

You could try tighten to shin a bit or use some padding.

An easy way to fix it is just a piece of velcro on your boots and inside the shin.

Holds very well, I haven't had a problem with this method.

I really like the job you did, move on! :)

Stu, to make the adjustments it would be much better to wear the boots :) I made the same mistake first. But all in all, I like.

Especially the great pictures before......keep smiling mate :-P

Yes, you must only make the adjustment while wearing the boots, then once done, make your syrups. As I have mentioned in the past, the Velcro may not stick to the boots as you have painted them, or when it lets go it will take the paint off with it. Altairs set up is working well for him .

Sure thing - I'll look at Altairs setup also - boots are all done and dried so will look at this tonight.

Keeping up with the K@nnedashians! - exciting times! Just need to put snaps under the shoulders, finish TD, and strap up the arms. I'll also work on the stirrup setup aka Altair's thread.Ā

Did you made some inner boxes? If yes. How did you made them?

Btw: do you have a blaster?

If you can I would shorten the strap from the shoulder bell especially on your left. It will just pull it in a bit.

I have never used snaps on the shoulder straps. You can put a single rivet through the shoulder strap at the front to secure the strap to the armour which is screen accurate.

Will do - I haven't got the left one done up just because I had no help today! Once I get a hand to do them up I'll send another pic.

The tops of the bells, closer to the shoulder bridges. Just rotate the bells forward a little, or you can move the top straps a little forward, this will make the bells sit more forward.

Thanks mate! I had a lot of great help on the forums here - all I need now is that cracking blaster! Looking forward to that delivery I can tell you!

I wonder what that is?

That is awesome, that's what that is - thanks for the box of awesomeness, CFO!
