To say "Most" is basically saying the majority of the suits in the movie were like that which is false, most actually had the correct left and right arms and leg parts, it just happens that the suit casted by RS was like that or missing those parts so they reaused them for the left side.

Oh I see thanks for the clarification, now that you mention I can actually see both left and right shin are identical, basically the RS suit is made of two Right shins?

Maybe its just the photos, but does RS uses the same inner Left shin part for the outer right or by mistake they sent you 2 same parts? I had the assumption their full suit was 100% casted from original with all proper parts, unless I missed something.

I always leave return edges because its movie accurate and a nicer finish IMHO, but in his case he didn't need to remove the return edges, his thighs are only 21" plenty of room so the return edges had no effect on fitting, and removing the return edge from butt plate not sure how that happened

What works for some doesn't mean it applies to you, always make your research before trimming anything, the only reason some remove the return edges on the thigh parts is because they are a too tight which wasn't the case for you, it would have been actually much easier for me to trim without leaving return edge instead of trimming and leaving nice even return edges.

The movie original had return edges on the upper thighs and butt plate ect... thats why I left them, its movie accurate and part of the design to create illusion of thickness. TBH its looks unfinished without return edge especially the upper thighs, I honestely didnt see a valid reason to remove the return edges in those areas Mark (AP)

I concur with rubber foam strips, I use it on my costume it does miracles, and helps keep everything in place and the foam actually grabs to the under suit and helps keep everything in place. Buy the weather strip rubber foam at home depot you just peel and stick in all around arms and legs.

To be honest none look close to a stunt helmet, your designs actually look more like the Hasbro Black Series Toy helmet (not approvable) which has the right and left side mirrored, the movie helmet molds were hand sculpted, the left and right are very different in shape and assymetrical.

The problem is, he removed 2" from total shin circumference making them really narrow at the ankle.

We just finsihed a new batch of armors and have a few B grade helmets that I will offer at a great discount, they have very minor flaws hardly noticeable unless you look very closely. Mark (AP)

Great job!!!

By cutting the V on lower thigh legs like some of the movies suits will illiminate that problem. I will send you some pics, or apply heat with hair dryer and bend to make it flush.
