whostaylor[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Size comparison! (Her armor is on the left, mine is on the right) Shins: Not much changed on hers, mainly width. Right thigh: Ended up cutting a lot off the top, and quite a bit off of the width. Did the best I could at maintaining the shape. Left thigh: Ended up cutting a lot off the top, and quite a bit off of the width. Did the best I could at maintaining the shape. (I'm slightly less happy with the lack of original shape her's has, but I couldn't sacrifice anymore off of the outside piece.) Forearms: As I posted previously, I cut 2 of the divots off of hers, as well as quite a bit of width. Biceps: I kept the length on these, but cut a ton of the original width off. Shoulder bells: I think I cut .75cm off the side & 1cm off the bottom. (In an earlier post, I put the proper amounts) Her: Me: If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!

the_chosen_one[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I had been thinking about closing the shins with magnets. I ended up going with ukswrath's hook straps but yours look great. Fantastic job all around! It's crazy to see how much needed to get trimmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic job all around! It's crazy to see how much needed to get trimmed. Thanks!! Yeah, it was a little nerve-wracking cutting all that off... The hook method is more accurate, but I wanted something where I didn't have to look to make sure it lined up, and pretty much did the work for me. Plus... Magnets are magic. So...

Pull_and_Twist[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 You could also trim the chest armor on the bottom to make it more proportional... ala Luke Skywalkers hero armor. It would get rid of the return edge though. If you're real ballsy, theres a member on the FB group who was even able to add the return edge back with an iron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Great job sizing it all down! Especially the thighs... beautiful job there. The one thing I'd question is the sniper knee... looks like it's sticking out quite a bit. It couldn't be attached more flush?

whostaylor[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 The sides can be trimmed so they don't stick out, like Ukswrath did. I honestly hadn't thought of that until I replied. whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
