Dark PWF[Staff] Posted February 13, 2016 Report Posted February 13, 2016 Totally need to get a spandex type undersuit. If you can dance like that now, you'll have the moves like Jagger with spandex. You won't be as hot, and you'll have a better fit over all. Looking good though! Quote
WEllis52421[501st] Posted February 13, 2016 Report Posted February 13, 2016 Yo. Is that your actual undersuit? I suggest getting some spandexy compression gear and trying it on with it to see how it fits and where it pinches. You stuff looks a little baggy. You side gaps may even come in a little too. -Eric No, just grabbed a black shirt and my softball pants, lol. Will have the undersuit delivered soon I hope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sylverbard[TK] Posted February 13, 2016 Report Posted February 13, 2016 Also, you can win a lot of costume contests at Halloween. Until your co-workers boycott you coming back in it again the following year because it just isn't fair. Nobody should wear a uniform to a costume contest...;-) Quote

In my experience the girl wearing the slutty red riding hood costume usually wins those. 4 Quote

Darth Havoc[TK] Posted February 15, 2016 Report Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Is anyone having an issue with the handplates. I just saw a kit where the handplates were basically over the knuckles of the gloves and looked to have a thick return edge. Edited February 15, 2016 by Darth Havoc Quote

I would suggest priying off the rear cover stripes and downsizing them a bit so they fit you better. Right now you can see they are too large. Quote

CRISTONAMO Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 I helped my friend and garrison mate finish his armor last week. He is on the left and his thigh armor wasn't strapped to the belt securely yet. so his thighs are just sitting. His belt is also not mounted yet at all. 4 Quote

I think I'm going to actually have to cut height off my biceps because my shoulder muscles interfere with them getting high enough. 1 Quote
Lupex[TK] Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 A couple of random questions from my curious brain:<br><br> Can anyone point me to the history of the Anovos sculpt, what armour/helmet is it based off?<br><br> And, vacformed or injection moulded? Quote

Vac formed, for sure. I'll leave the rest to others... Quote

Or do I just really suck at cutting?I've managed to get pretty straight with free hand score and snap or scissors so long as the line I was following was actually straight. For stuff that I did a less than ideal job I used some small files and sand paper to smooth and level high spots by eye. If you look down the edge from a tight angle they stand out a mile and you can hand finish to very fast. 0.5mm is easy doing this but probably more than what's needed. Quote

Yorkie Fett Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 FedEx bills are coming through to UK buyers. Got mine today and got stung for £92 ($130), so not looking quite the bargain that our US cousins got.<br> What really upsets me is the fact the import costs seem almost random, I've seen some others' bills for £72, some for £86. <br> Not quite sure of the logic behind it.

Sgt_Boodles Posted February 17, 2016 Report Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks for the help guys. I figured the straightness of the lines don't matter too much since they'll be covered by a strip, but I'd like them to be as flush as possible. 1 Quote
