Alright I'll take that into consideration Chris, thanks.

Can you guys help me figure out which shin is which? I'm really confused as to which is right and which is left?

It looks like you have them correctly (if you looking in a mirror). The one on the right in the picture looks like your left shin.

Hey y’all!

 

Can’t believe it’s been close to three years since I’ve lasted posted or updated on here. Feels great to be back! After my last post I finished my armor and it’s been in storage since only wearing it about 5 or 6 times within the past 3 years.

 

Fast forward to today, for the past month I’ve been making some progress such as installing screen accurate strapping and re sewing some of my previous strapping to be more durable. I’ve also fixed some mistakes I’ve might’ve made. In all honesty the Anovos armor is great, but the strapping that was included is horrible. The Velcro kept falling off the armor and the armor didn’t sit right on me. Plus I also trimmed some parts down as I didn’t like how wide some pieces fit as well as due to me losing a ton of weight. I’ve done both the biceps and forearms so far. I’m planning on taking in the shins and thighs a bit next.

 

Since starting back up it’s been fun and can’t wait to hopefully due some trooping someday. Sorry for the long read. But anyways here’s my armor as it is now. Any suggestions or criticism is appreciated! Plus sorry I wasn’t able to include a pic of the armor being worn, but I wasn’t able to get a good one at the moment. Also at the moment my place holder blaster is a Disney Rebels blaster that I never got around to finish the paint on. I’m hoping to get a doopydoos in the very near future and finish this whole build by the end of the month.

 

Also does anyone know where I can get some good screen accurate rubber gloves? It seems the Anovos one just started to dry rot when I checked up on them.

Welcome back!

Not much to say as it´s pretty much all about the fit but a couple of things you could consider would be to secure the dropboxes so they stay at the ends of the ammo belt and to fill the gap on the left thigh with some abs paste. It also looks like the cover strip on the right thigh is a tad long, it shouldn´t go over the bottom ridge and if you´re in to screen accuracy the TD clips are bent the opposite direction and not as big. Looking forward seeing a suited-up photo

Thanks for the input Daniel! I'll definitely fix the thighs cover strip and fill in the other thighs gap as best as I can as well as fix the drop boxes. I'll also see if I can fix the TD clips to make them slightly more accurate.
