masterx244[TK] Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hello Finally had my BBB Day today. On the first test fit of the Armor i had 2 spots causing troubles: 1) With positioning the Thigs in a way that they don't slip too far down 2) Getting the Biceps pieces to stay where they should. Thanks for some Pointers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK20187[TK] Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Pics would help. In regards to your biceps, without pics I'd suggest looking into the hook method. You attach elastic across the inside of the low side of the shoulder bell and install an ABS hook on the bicep.The hook gets attached to the elastic when suited up and keeps it in place.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Images would definitely help, you could also do some ground work and have a look through others build threads as to how they positioned their armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hiya TomRS stopped connecting their shoulder bells to biceps for commissions a little while back. To keep your arms looking neat, I’d suggest using elastic strapping between the shoulder bell and bicep. This will keep your biceps from twisting and/or dropping. You’ll see this method in the vast majority of builds. The ABS hook method isn’t very common as it was very rarely seen on screen. Han is the only example of this i can think of. Regarding the thighs, do you have a waist belt for under your armour? Most folks make elastic ‘loops’ for the top of their thighs, then feed a regular belt through the loops. Here’s an old example of me kitting up using this method. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue for me is on the positioning with that method. That has to wait until friday though. No chance for another suitup earlier (evenings blocked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might just have to adjust the loops a little. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterx244[TK] Posted October 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Found out why my arm movement was limited. Biceps wasn't pushed under the shoulder bell. RS bells are pulled together with elastic at the bottom end => without holding open the biceps refuses to go in. Also: Had to resort to "site:whitearmor.net" google prefix since the site search refused to give me usable results on the issue which biceps is left or right. Found it instantly with the google search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
