BigRagoo / TK 22681[TK] Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 My biceps are completed, however, they have a very irregular shape. What should be a "pipe" / circular opening, is more triangular with a half circle. Extra shimming wouldn't necessarily fix the shape...<br> Has anyone used a heat gun to shape biceps??

T K[501st] Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 !! I wouldn't use a heat gun! Try a hot water bath instead. <br><br> If you could post pics of your problem we will probably be able to give you better advice. <br><br> Cheers.

BigRagoo / TK 22681[TK] Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Take a peak, tell me what you think!! Ā Ā Ā I barely cut off any material when sizing with the cover strips...it is still tight, but wearable.Ā If the shape wasn't so odd, I think it would be a waaaay better fit.

cwolfe[TK] Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I'm experiencingĀ a similar issue. The difference in shape is normal from what I've read, but it should tight though comfortable.

pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 You can order two right biceps from ATA since the right is much bigger than the left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRagoo / TK 22681[TK] Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I experimented on some scrap ABS w/ a heat gun on "Low"...<br><br> Then worked on the inside of one bicep... I was able to open the tapered end for a better fit.<br><br> I used extreme caution! White knuckled...<br><br> I am happy with the result.

illusionz_09[TK] Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 it is normal for ATA armor... snugger fit on the left arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I thought that was the forearms... Multiple people in our garrison have ordered various combinations. Most requested 2 right biceps since the left one is so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 it is normal for ATA armor... snugger fit on the left arm. Might be normal for an ATA but it's not normal for the original ANH armour. I just wanted to point that out in case people get the wrong impression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
