Bueller? Buellller?

 

[Art Andrews]

Sorry. Been busy with a lot of other projects as we are getting to the end of the college semester. I did get one bicep completely glued and I am VERY pleased with the solvent glue John recommended, although you need a LOT of clamps to hold it in place while it dries.

 

[Replicant Shadow]

Biceps are my next step. I need pick up that solvent glue, and more clamps it sounds like

 

[Art Andrews]

I have finals through May 6... then some free time. Hoping to make some progress then!!!

 

[CGClone]

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any of the pictures, they were all "x'd" out. Maybe it's my POS computer!

Seeing the unrazored and razored armor side-by-side is like night and day. Very well done!

You've gotta spend less time working on boards and more time on your armor

(really just bumping this thread as I pointed a local clone at it for tips on her own sci-fire clone kit)

Indeed. I am grateful for the link and am also having trouble fitting the body parts being a slim female. I am going to have to try and trim my breast plate also as I just can't get all that material to stay close to the ab plate without it standing off the top by five inches.

 

[Gilmortar]

Barriss, have you thought of padding the ab plate with foam strips so they sit off your stomach a little...that would help give the appearance of the chest plate being more flush to the ab.

or like i told another really thin person... just gain 30 - 40 pounds, the armor will fit GREAT!

Terry,
Head over to the closest Building 19 and grab some foam padding there. I picked up a 4'x8'x1" sheet of white foam for padding for my arm and leg pieces. They also have it in different thicknesses (if that's even a word:confused) so you don't have to layer it on in areas where you might need more padding.

That's what I've been telling myself too. So what if I was 50 pounds lighter in high school, I'm not in school anymore.
:cry :cry :cry

My ab plate is the rubber and just gets around me as is. When I first got my kit I trimmed the ab plate and belt to fit..not realizing that the cod and butt had to go under them... ignorant newbie at armor. I left a little bit but now it is pretty snug under there with the butt and cod. I actually had to add a top lip to the butt and cod so I could fit that thin lip under the ab/belt section. There is no room for anything under there but my natural padding. The ab comes just under the boobs. I could perhaps put padding in my underarmor to make it fuller at the top by the shoulders in front. I plan to work on it this week when out of school.
