CableGuy[Admin] Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Taken the strips of now and taping.. thanks [mention=31976]CableGuy[/mention] i treat my body like a temple, just I do not go to pray ;-) just want to make sure with the helmet police i am thinking the rubber trim needs a slight trim... That’s looking really nice. The gallery pictures show the brow trim ending in different places on different troopers, so, nothing wrong with what you have (to my eyes).

p4ntb0y[TK] Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 ok update... need to paint my screws white.. Thinking the forarms can be a bit smaller... not happy with the bells.. going to reinforce where the split rivets are... bell needs trimming a bit... notch missing on kidney plate.. need to make sure elastics are all done up \maybe thigh trimming is needed.. forearms can be reduced more I think need to learn how to take photos straight right forearm needs to be adjusted.. thighs need to have hot bath to make narrower.. \ bells.... need to stand straight... more padding for helmet... Fans!! ad and chest plate adjustment.. bells and forearms.. how to get those bells in more? I have single elastic at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4ntb0y[TK] Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi Thank you! I am thinking I can reduce the biceps by 1.5-2cm and that should pull them in more what do you think? I am also not happy with the forearms i have limited movement with them, i thinking to reduce the width first and then maybe reduce the length. any Inputs welcome!

Re did bells with better elastic... forearms... going to redo the forearms going to add more taper and reduce a bit.

To answer your question there is no requirement stated in the CRL however, you don't want to take off too much because it might make your forearms look too small. I would use a photo editor and or draws lines to illustrate where you intend to cut and post them for us to see. From there we can give you better advice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Once you add the under suit, gloves and the connecting material between the bicep and forearm you may not need to reduce the overall size. If it's that much of a burden than I suggest adding fabric foam to the interior for stability instead. You want breathing room. Shortening the forearm as you've illustrated is ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 You don't want to down size too much as you want the overall look to match, I have pretty thin arms and added a few blocks of foam inside to stop them moving around, works great and the glove takes care of any gaps in the front of the forearms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4ntb0y[TK] Posted May 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 many thanks on the input. I have carefully taken the forearms apart and take a little of to make them a little less narrow, I still have the option to add a little bit back if required. will post up some pictures later tonight I have also redone my biceps and now the bells are more closer to the chest plate. Redoing the elastic on the on the shoulders as I used cheap elastic and its a bit too stretchy. For the bells I am going to redo with double elastic to have some give but strong enough to to pull them in. @gmrhodes13 I really like your strapping from the kidney to ad is there a DIY guide for this anywhere?
