Return edge Bad! Get rid of it. Won't do anything for you! With WTF the long sides are the outer halves. Shingate 2018!

Congratulations TK-27072!

Looks like you got the bigger Ab. Do they look like they will close around you?

If you went with a wider "22/24mm" strip in front it really does make a difference in the back. Saying this as it looks a bit more even so to speak viewed from a side angle. We're bigger Troopers so a little bit wider coverstrip isn't as noticeable in front. With it being cut already a gap would be left but still covered by strips. I say plural as I recommend internal ones. When you measure ridge in back you can take a couple mm off and cheat in a "little" and be ok. Say you measure 28mm a 26 would work. About bigger size ab question. Post a picture of ab from the side and I could tell you. Keep up the good work. We're watching!

Really nice clean build! Good Luck!

Overall great looking build Andreas! You could lower both biceps and forearms. You have a big gap between handguard and forearm. Shorter straps could close back and Kidney gaps. From the pictures you should get entry in the 501st. I only notice a couple of other things and they aren't relevant for approval more of a look issue. The coverstrip on your front left thigh is a little too long and your drop boxes look thick. I'm not 100% on this but I will find out for future. The drop box is 15mm thick I believe. Again a look thing. Best of Luck on your approval and we're here waiting for the good news Brother!

Congratulations Dennis! Welcome to the Ranks!

Congratulations Glen on what? 35th EIB

Yeah I second elastic for torso. Imagine bending over and nylon and snap holds and armor cracks! I use nylon for shoulders though. Keeps it tight against bridge.

Your right at the max for WTF. I'm about the same size as you and I'm using Walt's kit for my TKC. That left bicep will need a hot water bath to shape it rounder. Remove all the return edge will help also. How wide would back strip need to be? Are you wearing your compression gear when fitting? For me the kit fits like it's made for me. Except chest. It could be bigger. Don't tell Walt I said that. He gave me a look the day I said it in his shop. Did you get the bigger ab and Kidney pcs.?

You have to come up with your own straps to get them to sit right. Original sat at an angle on belt.

That looks good to me. Or I could be going to compactor duty again. Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

I hate to be that guy but those look labeled wrong. The long swoop should be on oitside and high bulge on inside. I think the right is left and vise versa. With some brands it's easy to identify with longer sides to the outside. Gotta protect that vulnerable ankle! Hopefully Tony chimes back in to clarify. Plus sniper knee would fit better on one labeled right. Ah... Shingate! Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Congratulations Sean! You did a fantastic job on your armor!

I use my phone. So my post just sits there after hitting submit. I don't get error code. This happened after the other night site was down. Something went crazy. But I'm sure we got our best guys on it. Atleast Tapatalk works! Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Leave it till coverstrips are on and shin is complete then trim to even curve out Looking good so far[emoji106] Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

I to am having same problem Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Very inspirational story there Trooper! Well done!

Happiness! Isn't it great when it fits like a glove without doing anything more then adding coverstrips! Compliments to your tailor!

When he say's lower edge he means of bell. Make sure strap is snug. From the pictures the bottom of bell should be right around bicep. Like TK's in photo. But yes your tops could come in more at bridges. Elastic is no good for that spot. Nylon wont give and will hold in place better. Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

You're getting there! Clever use of snaps on the suspenders!

Congratulations on your approval!

Congratulations on BBB arrival! I love the smell of ABS in the morning! Good Luck with your build! No question is a dumb question. Ever! Looking foward to your build thread! Oh, one more thing. We love pictures!
