Mike Bassett Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 I have had my armour around a month now and have been reading as may posts as possable and its now time to bite the bullet and start the build but first a couple of questions...... Is it cannon to butt joint the front parts of the arms and legs and have strips/shims over the join? If this is correct. How wide do I cut the strips? Cheers Brothers and Sisters of the FISD. Quote

Sgt JB Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 I'm almost done trimming, and about to start assembly, and I was wondering the same thing, about the strip width that is. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 I know there are metric measurements floating around here somewhere, but the US approximates are 5/8 inch arms, 7/8 inch for the legs, and 1 inch for the shin backs. Quote
