bigmikeyboy Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well, that time has arrived! This 43 year old kid can now become that Sandy he always wanted to be... I'm sure there will be a few questions along the way! Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmikeyboy Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Right chaps, first 2 bits of armour glued ( right arm bicep and forearm ) with left hand side currently glueing... i have started to trim other bits and have done a test fitting for the thighs. I think i have got them to fit ok around the thigh with sufficient gap, however they seam to be catching when i bend my knee. Only slightly rubbing, but i can see this being a problem. Any suggestions as to how i can fix this? Its not the width but length of the the thigh piece, which is strange as i am 6' tall.... guess ive got slightly shorter thighs!

bigmikeyboy Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Ok, so here is a bit of an update so far... Have managed to build all the arm armour and have just glued the rear cover strips on the thigh pieces. Shin fronts are done, just need to measure up the rears and then trim and attach the velcro. Helmet is also underay with some of the painting done. I also have a build thread running on the UKG forum and am seeking advise along the way. A little problem i have encountered and need some advise on is the rear bottoms of my thighs. They rub on the tops of my calves as i bend my leg. I have seen some people cut the bottom of the armour out to help alleviate this. Is this an accepted way of resolving this problem or are there other solutions?
