Y'all, I'm struggling on determining trim lines on my thighs. the only way I can think of to help is to get the Ab, Kidney, and butt plate done so I can see how it all lines up with the thighs. I've been at a standstill on this. On a positive note, Dave sent me a new set of ears and my helmet fan kit so I got to finish that at least! Mind you, I've got some clean up on the paint for the ears, I'm letting them dry. And I love making my wife giggle

First word of advice. Use E6000 glue. Cause you will make mistakes! Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

Painter's tape ftw!

I see now, thank you.

So the gap and strapping here always looked a lot shorter than what I'm seeing here. Or is it that I've never seen armor in person before?

This is the difference that I'm talking about. The butt plate turns before the cod. Are these 2 aligned properly?

https://imgur.com/a/bsdULNU Question on trim lines. https://imgur.com/a/xjjYLtF I was able to tape the cod to the butt plate. And Mark the edge of the front cod. Do they look ok? And to get the butt plate to sit on my rear at a good level and noticed a lot of extra room but the cod seems to be low. Is that normal? Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

Already glued them at 4:30 am before I left for work so I could play with them a little when I get home. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

E6000 Is were it's at! I've been sweating this all day wondering if they were wrong. I'll get pictures up after I get them back together. Thanks.

Man, FN1313 has got a good eye considering I didn't even really post a picture of them when he saw they were backward! They were in the background of my shin picture!

Hopefully that's not the case. I'm saving final trimming untill I finish my abdomen and butt plate. If it's wrong hopefully I can get some more input.

Yeah I see it does look miss leading in my picture. one is trimmed , the other isn't.

While we wait on the thighs to dry, Where's Caleb? I promise it's 190mm This is 120mm!

Left shin and sniper plate alinement

This is what I'm refering to as the bottom. and I hear you, lose the curve

looks like the bottom of the sniper plate helps with the cut line

That helps, thanks

Question. does this cut line look all right for the sniper plate?

Don't be Like Terry and get impatient and reach for the super glue. Cause if you do and have to readjust, this is what happens. luckily i was able to split and sand it down with the dremel and a rotary drum. Got that issue solve and decided to move on to the calves with help from my fitment inspector.. Ive got six pieces ready to go and I started working on my thighs. I'm 5'11'' and had to trim a good 1.5"s off of the top following the same line and the curve in the armor. I was pretty nervous so I trimmed a 1/4" at a time till it felt right. The bottom of my thigh now sits at the top of my knee. I'm positive more will come off once I've added the cod and butt plate.

So much glue!

I've got so much glue to remove. The cover strip slipped and the glue got everywhere on my forearms!

While we wait, what do are everyone's thoughts on this? Room wise? Milwaukee is cry proud of this, as you can see by the price https://www.northerntool.com/products/milwaukee-packout-rolling-tool-chest-with-dual-stack-top-22-1in-w-x-16-2in-d-x-6-5in-h-model-48-22-8428-108610 Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk
