Madmartigan Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is there a difference in the top versus bottom of the kidney plate? The way I have it trimmed, it seems to flare a little more up and out on one side versus the other when held vertically and I'm sort of assuming that the more flared part would be the top to accomodate the wider part of the back. Make sense? -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmartigan Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) ------------ Looks like Option 1 is right to me. But that's just a guess based on knowledge of anatomy.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 You can also put a little Sharpie mark now that you know. Yes, I've seen "TOP" on items. Mike A. also makes a sticker set with R & L that are nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Option two! The butt plate should mate up perfectly. The raised section should be slightly off to one side and the butt plate should only match up one way......option two Also, on the original armour, they had a square cut out at the bottom edge of the kidney section where it met up to the abdomen. The butt plate was narrower than the kidney and that's why there was a cut out so it matched up with the butt plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmartigan Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Poop. Now i have two different opinions. lol Let me go check and see which way the butt seems to match up better. Seemed like it worked either way.... *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool. I've noticed that detail in your armor in Pete's build. Love it!
