Sly11[Admin] Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think we all stressed a little on our first armour build, but you are doing well so press on with confidence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoredfist5[TK] Posted June 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Also, only one biceps has the little spoon shape in it. Right side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armoredfist5[TK] Posted June 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 How much of this can I cut off? And is this the correct amount to cut off the cod? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking closely one can see the mold lines (indicted by blue lines) so just follow that and snip accordingly, cod looks good but test fit after (before setting a rivet) if more material needs to be removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoredfist5[TK] Posted June 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Another question, sorry guys. On the kidney, which way is up? The end that has the slightly fatter bump out or the thinner bump out? The fatter end has a bit more of a curve to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armoredfist5[TK] Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Want to double check before I drill baby drill. Do these marks look correct? 10mm from edge, 20mm from top, 10mm from bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple D[TK] Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 From the picture of the kidneys flip it around and it should be right. the smaller curve to the bottom. The side button look fine also, 10mm from the edge 20 from the top and equidistant for the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoredfist5[TK] Posted July 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Is there a specific measurement for the cod split rivet and the posterior male snaps from the edge of their respective edges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but there several build threads that illustrate the approximate locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTM[TK] Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I did the notch on my AM. While it is stressful making all the cuts, one thing to keep in mind is you will be adjusting your armor as you learn to troop in it. For me I cut the notch and posterior to match, and removed most of the return on it as well. Makes walking so much easier, when trooping I always seem to be in motion for pictures or high-fives. Doing a couple of long parades also showed the need for comfort. Check out Seans and AJ's builds, most of your questions have already been answered in there. Both were also good on followup details on changes after basic approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been searching the forum for a couple hours not finding the info I’m searching for and about to say F it and put them where I want. Finding WAY too much outdated info on posts that as a new trooper trying for Centurion, I just can’t trust. Some are still correct but in some cases the CRL’s have changed multiple times. For the experts here, the correct information is obvious. Sorry, just feeling very frustrated right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
