TeslaMilano Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hey guys, I've finally completed my kit and was hoping for a few pointers regarding mods/fixes. I'm pretty happy overall with how it looks but I'm encountering issues with the shoulder bells and bicep armor. Looking at other pictures of people's armor, I like the look for the shoulder bells hugging the bicep armor pieces. The problem with my armor though is that the bicep pieces can't fit properly inside the shoulder bells which leads to the shoulders rising up and "floating" off of my arm. Would shaving down the return edge of my shoulder bells fix this problem and is that allowed for Hero builds? I'm not aiming for Centurion approval so I'm open to all ideas. Thanks guys! I look forward to trooping soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS80 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) That not a ANH hero build you mean a Stunt build, your bicep parts are way too big, trim them down to fight tighter around your biceps, and its best to glue the shoulder strap on chest, there' s many adjustment still to be made on your costume. Good luck! Edited May 30, 2016 by ABS80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeslaMilano Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 That not a ANH hero build you mean a Stunt build, your bicep parts are wat too big, trim them down to fight tighter around your biceps, and its best to glue the shoulder strap on chest, there' s many adjustment still to be made on your costume. Good luck! Ah whoops, got em mixed up. I'll try to figure out the biceps, right now they fit kinda tightly. I'm also in the process of gluing down the shoulder straps, temporarily configured em like so just for the time being. Thanks for the response!

TK19140[TK] Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 You may want to consider warming the shoulder bells and stretching them a bit over the biceps to get a better fit. Exercise caution with heat since you can end up with deformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS80 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 no need to heat and modify the shoulder bells, the problem are the biceps which are too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think making the biceps smaller would work. If I resize them, they'd get smaller along the x axis but my problem is with how wide it is in relation to the z axis.

TKZombie[TK] Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Both the biceps and forearms are too big. Did you trim them down at all or just trim to the cut line and attach them together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
