Holiday H Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hello! New here. Just got my MTK ANH Stunt kit, and am getting started on my journey. I am female, so I know this will affect some of the fitting. So far, I think I'll just have issues with shins, and thighs. I started with the shins, and have some pictures below. I have big calves (yay weightlifting and horseback riding!). The fronts I think will look just fine once the cap strip is on. For the back, I've noticed that with the width of my calves, once trimmed (I've only trimmed tops and bottoms just to get the return edges set up for easier fitting) the cap strip won't run right along the ridges in the back, like I've see in most of the pictures. Is this okay? If not, how should I go about correcting it. *Note, at the widest point, my calve is 2inches. Thank you for the help, everyone! I'll keep the thread updated.

Trogdor[TK] Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I was told it was. Mine look a little wider than that, just an artifact of Mtk armor. Haven't submitted for the higher levels yet but basic approval was no problem.Here are the 2 posts on my build thread: Question: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32163-trogdors-first-build-mtk/?p=434599 Answer: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32163-trogdors-first-build-mtk/?p=434603 Good luck on your build your off to a good start.

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 MTK has that built in ridge line so there's not much you can do if you need the space. Just trim as you need to make it fit you properly as you're already doing. I didn't have the answer to this at the time of my build and ended up ordering AM2.0 thighs and shins.

Holiday H Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thank you! Another couple of questions. First, the shins: On the back, I've seen pictures (CRL) that has the cap strip coming all the up, flush with the top edge of the shins on the BACK. I am also seeing pictures where the cap strip on the back of the shin stops just below the upper ridge (but is flush on the bottom). Which is most correct? Second question! Forearms: I noticed my left forearm is not as 'round' at the wrist as the right. Is this something I should reshape or leave as is? Thank you!

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 It should stop just below the top ridge. You can reshape your forearms with a hot water bath if needed. There are a few build threads that show you how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holiday H Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thank you! Also adding a quick shot of the shins from the front. Will get the cap strips for the back done tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
