Chopper857[TK] Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 ok there is a few things that could be tried first of all, if under suit is on order what about a cheap pair of compression leggings that is what i used for my build phase. with that in mind i would then look a the return edge in the cod piece area reducing this to say 5 mm which will give better placement of your main lower chest piece to start with which in turn might bring the butt and kidney plates up slightly as well. Again adjust the neckline return to around 5 mm again and the increase the gap across the shoulders try 3 inch's this time you do have room for maneuver due to the coverage of the shoulder strips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS1 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I now using some sort of underleggings to fit the armour and follwed yr advise : 1. cod area return edge 5 mm 2. neckline return edge 5mm 3. gap between the shoulders is 8cm, slightly more than 3" Here some new photos. As you can see, the backplate now reached the kidney plate, but there might be two problems. The neckline really pushes in my neck and it is difficult to breath normally. Also, there is now a gap between my back and the backplate. The backplate shoulder pieces are also below my shoulders. What do you think ? Thanks !

JS1 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 hi all should one have a return edge on the neck line ? I like to cut some away, to be able to breath. Thx Johan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper857[TK] Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 hi johan look like you still have a lot to work with in the lower chest plate return cod area which in turn will move the plate in and up will try and edit your pic to show you the pic below is not the best shot but if you look across from the top of the thigh you should see what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS1 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks ! Do you mean this return edge ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper857[TK] Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) yep thats the one, have a look into a few of the centurion submissions there will be photos of peoples clam-shells opened up for additional reference, you can then bring the kidney and butt plate up thus reducing the gap across your shoulders check out the alignment of the kidney plate to front lower chest plate as well in photo above Edited June 12, 2017 by Chopper857 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS1 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks for the tip Chopper857. Things improved a lot now. I still need to cut the neck area so I can easily breath. Do I need to provide a return edge for Centurion level on the neck ? Thx Johan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS1 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi, Do you think the upper arms are too bulky ? Thanks! Johan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novak Dimon[TK] Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi Johan, they indeed look quite bulky and much bigger than the forearms. I made the upper armor so big that there are two fingers space when I contract my biceps muscle. I would suggest that you reduce the size of upper arms and try them again, using painters tape to hold them together. But don’t cut off any material until you are happy with the look and feel of the parts. Cheers Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
