trinity5614 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hey everybody. Does this forearm look like its cut the right length? Any suggestions. I will be cutting off the wrist return edge later. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydirium1[TK] Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Better to leave it that lenth and see how it fits with the rest of the armor. Then you can tweak things a little if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple D[TK] Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Tom is right on point. Wait until you have the rest of the arm complete before wanting to trim anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinity5614 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 would you guys suggest finishing them now and then moving on? I don't want a bunch of partially completed parts laying around. This is my first build just trying to do it right the first time. Thanks.

tydirium1[TK] Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I would try putting together one arm completely then trim it to fit you properly. Then move on to the next arm. Any where that you have pieces that must interact with other pieces or must avoid interactions with other pieces, use the method described previously. Remember, you can always cut some material off. It's hard to put it back and make it look right. So when in doubt measure 3 times and cut 1 time. Or cut off less than you think. You can always trim off some more to make it fit better. Be cautious, pieces are expensive to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinity5614 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 so you mean forearms and biceps or those plus shoulder bells? Thanks again for your help. I just dont want to put the cover strips on until I know they are good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple D[TK] Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah work from the shoulder down. Once you have where the biceps will be then check the forearms. This will give you the proper size for your arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
