K@nne[TK] Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Posted July 5, 2015 Your in the home stretch now. Do you have your shoulder bells on?Yes but not conected with the bridges that is why they not visible 😉 Quote
KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Looking at the shape of the straps, I would suggest they are meant for connecting the handguards to the forearms and for holding it in place while wearing a glove. Sent from the shield generator on Endor Quote
K@nne[TK] Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Posted July 5, 2015 Hey guys any comments? thx Chris Quote
Darth Havoc[TK] Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Your biceps are rotated out. They need to be facing toward your torso The joint should be facing forward when your arms are down. This will cause the shoulder bells and the biceps ridges to marry up and fit together. You can also rotate your forearms so the joint is also facing forward when your arms are down. Hope this makes sense. You may also want to shorten the shoulder bell straps to the shoulder bridges to bring the bells in more. Just some little things I see but your moving along nicely and will be hunting ewok's shortly Edited July 5, 2015 by Darth Havoc 1 Quote

The shoulder bell straps already shorten, It was the first think after checking the photos With the arms you are correct, I was a bit to fast when I put them on 1 Quote
Disco Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Looking awesome mate - have you used snaps for the shoulder or velcro? Quote
K@nne[TK] Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Looking awesome mate - have you used snaps for the shoulder or velcro? Thx mate. I hope the boxes will arrive, I can't wait to finish it. If you mean the connection between bridges and bells. Yes I used velcro (was included in the strapping package of Mark) Edited July 7, 2015 by K@nne Quote
Disco Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 I bet - I just made a panel for the back with spare abs - I'll probably change that once I've done all else. I thought the velcro straps were the go there. I'll be fixing the velcro to the shoulders tonight/tomorrow. Keep on keeping on! 1 Quote
JohnnyChaos Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 extra straps =hand guards to forearmforearm to bicepI haven't used them on mine so far. Quote

Disco Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Hey mate - have you padded the shoulder bells? If so how much did you pad them? 1 Quote
K@nne[TK] Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Posted July 8, 2015 Hey mate - have you padded the shoulder bells? If so how much did you pad them?Not yet , but will try different paddings but had to do some adjustments of the strapping before. There is to mich black visible between biceps and forearms 😆 1 Quote
K@nne[TK] Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Posted July 8, 2015 On the recommendation of some mates of GG I made some adjustments to get the forearms a bit closer to the biceps, to have less black fabric visible. 1 Quote
K@nne[TK] Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Posted July 9, 2015 Hey guys, first time I put everything together today dropboxes and TD are missing Any comments, ok biceps have to be more rotated in a bit Cheers Chris 2 Quote
