Trimming AP using the Mold Lines

[giric thren]

I was wondering how I was going to trim my forearms and noticed that I cant tell from the outside where to stop. If I look at the inside of the shell I see the mold line and was wondering if trimming to that line was a good idea

 

 

 

Thanks

Not a bad idea, Thomas. Do what i did - if in doubt, draw on the plastic with a soft pencil and see if it looks right before cutting. Always handy, that approach.

I feel like giving up on the trim lines with the AP kit.Nothing lines up anyway!

 

But saying that there is light at the end of the tunnel if you plan your attack.

 

Link to my build there may be something in there that might help you.

Here are a couple videos I made regarding trimming my Boba Fett armour.

I use a china pencil to mark before i cut. It's a grease pencil that rubbs off. Im am mostly going by the mold lines but constantly looking at reference pics as i go mostly because the AP bicepts are exactly the same in the kit and should be mirrored so to speak so cut them a little different to match the reference pics. Some other parts are slightly different than the mold lines too. But i dont think most would ever notice.
