Hi, I would like to recommend to take a look at this post to have some tips for return edges. It's always a great help if we can see some photos to give a better tip.

Congratulations for you BBB day!!! Looking forward for your bulid thread. Feel free to ask questions and post tons of fotos.

At this Stage (painter's tape stage), they looks good, probably you 'll need to use wider cover strips in the back, they are ususally 20 cms in the front and 25 cms in the back (you could increase back to 30 cms) but I would think in this issue later. I would suggest not to trim more and let the back cover strips till de final. continue with the great work on your armor.

Hi, Here you can find a quick guide on each Stormtrooper Ep 4,5,6 Cheers

Hi, do you have a photo of the shins you wearing them? front and back , What I would like to see is how the fit. Thanks

Almost there Trooper.

Great, you're on the right way. Let's know when you need help.

Great Trooper, welcome to EIB.

Hi Rob, for me , the helmet is the most challenging part of the armor build. Glen has gave you so useful info and I can add the following saying: "Measure twice or more, look at , others build thread, reference photos, and trim and glue once" Good luck and looking forward for your advances.

Hi Gavin, welcome aboard, good luck with you build and looking forward for you BBB day Photos . As Glen pointed, read the CRL but is important to look at the reference photos too.

Hi Darryl Welcome to FISD. I would like to suggest to check the following Forum Section HERE. I'm sure you'll find interesting info . Good luck.

Welcome to FISD, good look with your project.

Hi, This painter's tape fit looks good, in most cases there' a minimum gap in Back/Kidney , I should wait till the strapping stage to look how things match.

Hi Erina, Welcome to FISD and congratulations for your BBB Day !! Yes, the first day you see all those plastic pieces is intimidating, but if all of us did it , why you not?

Hi Ryan, just remove the top return edges . I would like to recommend to take a couple of minutes to read the following post About Return Edges i'm sure it'll be so useful. About your question about outside thigh, could you post some photo please? It would be better to be clear about the issue. Cheers.

looking good mate!! As suggested in the 101 thread, you are right, and this will avoid the chafe when moving. About the inner clothes,for you to have an idea, what I have seen in the forum is the following recommendations : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HXPKQDK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A2Q6XV9HQ2RH17&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ML2YRPF/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A2Q6XV9HQ2RH17&psc=1 Cheers

Great Alex. Thanks for your high speed response !!

Hi Jonathan, great to know you're going make the fix. What I did las time in a case like this was to : 1-remove old rivets both sides (ab/kidney) 2-glue a small piece of ABS behind the old hole. 3-fill with abs 4- sand to smooth surface 5- apply automotive polish wax 6-measure the new rivets location and mark down 7- drill the new holes 8-place the rivets 9-mark the new rivets position from AB to Kidney , drill and place them. NOTE: I highly recommend to make the Ab side first. About your Kidney flat /level top, If It was my case, I would try to reshape the return edge a bit either with hot bath or and iron tool. Hope this can help to have an idea of what to do. Cheers

Looks good.
