NoZoupForYou[TK] Posted August 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Sorry.... questions keep coming. Bicep doesn’t align at the bottom. Should I just cut off the return edge and trim to match?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Looking good so far. When you trim the forearm trim it from the front ( part 19 I think, the one with the ridges). The bicep is fine as it is the public will never see that part as it will be covered by the shoulder bell. Keep up the good work.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucnak[TK] Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Your bicep kind of looks like the parts may be upside down as in the bottom of each aligned with the top, though it might just be the photo. But yes, align the bottoms of the bicep as the top is mostly covered, as Rat said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoZoupForYou[TK] Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I hope... I think I’m gluing the cover strips on my forearms and biceps today. Luckily Ukswrath and I have the same size arms it appears, as my measurements are coming out similar. For L3, does the lower return edge need to be removed on the biceps?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the only place not to have a return edge are the wrist ends of forearms, everywere else it’s personal preference - look, comfort, mobility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoZoupForYou[TK] Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks. I feel like I’m bombarding everyone with so many questions, but this forum has some of the nicest most helpful people I’ve come across in a forum. Most forums can be harsh. It’s a scary prospect cutting in to expensive plastic Today I am definitely starting the gluing process. I need to trim about a half inch off the biceps and I should be ready to glue on cover strips.From what I’ve seen, it’s no issue is the E6000 looks sloppy or seeps as it is easy to clean up after it dries. Is this correct?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one person cant answer another will. Dont hesitate to ask. Once dry E6000 excess is relatively easy to clean up but I advise letting dry for a couple days making it even easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Just a tip, when trimming pieces try to use a ruler as a guide, you can also use a block wood with sandpaper wrapped around to help straighten cut lines. This is particularly useful for the thighs as the cover strips stop just above the lower ridge and you want no gap there Keep up the great work.
