photobucket is fine.

I was meaning the amount of pictures of all angles

You can put similar items in a photo (both forearm pieces, both bicep pieces) if you want to have less photos.  Overall, the cuts look really good so far.

It's rough cuts right now after I get the rough in I plan on cleaning up and trying for centurion lvl

[dator97]

Ok what should I do about the areas that the blade makes a line from the blade on the armor when I am doing the rough trimming cause this is happening some and I know will show up

Interested to see the rarely used hinge and gate lock strapping method!   Looks great so far.

That is a good question. I've been using lexan scissors for most cuts, and the straight lines with a metal ruler for score and snap have been relatively clean.

 

I would think that those cuts (if not too deep) can just be sanded out. Deep cuts might require ABS paste, but hopefully none of your runaway blade marks are that deep.

they are relativly in non important areas or area's that arent usally seen up close but the scoring method seems to be working really good so far i need to get back to it but i have more important things todo atm it will be mainly on weekends working on it

You can definitely get rid of all those edge returns as they will make it hard to move and come off ***(other than where torso plates meet each other. Don't trim those off!)

good to know this is still only the rough trimming once i get it all rough trimmed and the under suit in i can see how it is going to fit and do more trimming on it 

[dator97]

this is 20 23 14 and 15 rough trimm

[dator97]

last bit for now. now i gotta figure out what needs to be done for finishing trimming then start actually build

 

[troopermaster]

Button plates on the abdomen need more trimming. There are no return edges on those parts.

[dator97]
