VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted November 26, 2015 Report Posted November 26, 2015 Ok. I understand 25mm cover strips for the shin and 20mm for the thigh. Is that 1.for the back too? And 2. Are they required to be that size for basic membership? I understand that it will have to be for centurian I was just curious if it was for basic as well. Quote
CRISTONAMO Posted November 26, 2015 Report Posted November 26, 2015 both are only 20 mm strips on the front of the thighs and shins. 20-25 mm on the back although it does not matter as much as the front. Quote
VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Posted November 26, 2015 I ask because I'm a noober at crafty things. I have big calves and thighs that will need either big strips on the back or shim it and that will take abilities I lack lol Quote
VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Posted November 28, 2015 So are bigger covers allowed in the back? Quote
Coastertk Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 I believe you can have a wider raised edge (flat part of the seam) but keep your cover strip to the 25mm or 1" in the back. Quote
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 If you have big thighs and calves, you may need to go bigger on the front than the standard 20mm. The key is to make it uniform in appearance. You will want the same front cover strips on both thighs and shins. Most people will go bigger on the back and leaving the front the standard 20mm though. It's possible you will need to shim. There are several great tutorials here to learn how to that if needed. Quote
VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 Say I left the front the usual size. As long as back of thigh and calves are close would it be good? Quote
Coastertk Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 For basic approval, I believe so. Quote
VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 Bleh I suck at explaining things. If my bigger cover sips match in the back of thigh and back of shins are they good? Quote
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 The thighs are 20mm front and back. The shins are 20mm front and 25mm back. IMHO, I like the front to be 20mm and a clean shim on the back to enable to use of standard sizing in the rear too. Is it necessary for approval even in the standard levels, not necessarily, however it looks better. This is just my personal opinion though. Quote
VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Atm I just wanna join and get it done and over a little while fix it up and try to make centurian Quote
