gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 That is how I do mine, they fit a little better that way too. You may find once wearing for a while you may have to modify/heat expand a little as they can dig in on the side of the ankle, see how you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN1313[TK] Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Looking good. Luckily the adjustments if needed after wearing aren’t too hard.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted July 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Just wondering if anyone had the diagram for the placement of the ab/kidney split rivets? I know they supposed to be 10mm from the edge but was wondering if there is a measurement from the top and bottom of the top and bottom rivets?

These are approximate measurements as it can change from maker to maker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional to Glen's be sure to place the Ab section first. 10mm from edge and aprox 20mm (from center of the rivet) from top and from bottom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted July 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Awesome! Thanks guys! Did some measuring and made some pencil marks. I marked 10mm from the ridge on the ab piece and drew lines there. Would that be correct or is it supposed to be 10mm from where I trimmed? Thanks!

I’d say it depends on if you plan on further trimming along this edge (marked in red) If you do plan to trim that off, then I think your marks are good. If not then you’d probably need to move them to 10mm from the actual edge of the plastic.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN1313[TK] Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Of course I’m assuming you’ve marked 10mm for on the return edge. If it’s 10mm from the other edge though than that’s right. It just needs to be 10mm from whatever the hard edge will be.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Thanks! I re-marked the rivets 10mm from where I trimmed instead. I also did the same thing with the kidney plate and it seems to line up well. Let me know what you I think! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I also had a question about the Sugru. I ended up putting some spare abs under the bottom of the thighs as I followed the RS line propmasters build videos. I managed to remove most of the extra e6000 on the other end of the spare abs piece. Would I still be able to put the Sugru in the gap to make it more flush?

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Also installed the Ab/kidney split rivets. Hope this looks good! I’m using them just for aesthetic purposes and not for strapping. That being said they are a little loose and slide back and forward a bit. Any tips for securing them if they aren’t holding elastic down? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should still be able to add sugru 28 minutes ago, N0SweatBobaFett said: Also installed the Ab/kidney split rivets. Hope this looks good!

Just check the alignment of these, middle one looks a little off on the photo, you may be able to oval the holes just a little to move over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Just had a few questions about additional trimming for the top of the thighs. Do the lines I drew look fine to trim if I’m looking for a bit more mobility in the back? Also how far should I trim the front top of the thighs if they are a bit high? Thanks!

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I also marked up how I’ll paint the ab plate buttons with pencil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Trim marks look fine. Buttons paint just above the base of the plate Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Trimmed out the back of the thighs more and penciled in some marks to trim the bottom back of the thighs to allow for more mobility. Also finished the shoulder straps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0SweatBobaFett[TK] Posted August 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Trimmed the bottom of the thigh. Still going to trim more return edge on the bottom but I hope the back looks good! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
