so went to my garisson armor party over the weekend. i had everything ready to trimmed and ready to be fitted. Started with the bicep.  This is where i need peoples input. Im very skinny in the arms.  Im 5ft 7 in tall roughly 155lbs.

So the picture below is the left bicep. The pic below is ready for the strip for 15cm.  7cm on each side. Also is the good side facing out.



Here is where we have problems / stummed.





Love to try to obtain centurion status but totally understand if its not obtainable with my body type.  Im open to any suggestions before we move on with the build.

[Sentry71[TK]]

You're on the right track, with making the front look correct first. Personally, I would cut the back to match (7mm edges on the raised section) and let the bicep pieces be loose on your upper arm. You can always add foam blocks on the inside, to center your arm in it. I would get a few other opinions first, though.

 

You might talk with Jinsei (Spencer) about his build - I think he's on the thinner side as well.

From his build thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34678-jins-ap-stunt-build/page-4#entry473347

I would agree with Gary, though I don't personally have the same problem. Just build them according to the ridge and then put some foam if they are really moving around too much. Remember that these don't stay up through pressure from you actual bicep. They will be attached to your shoulder bell and hang. Same with your forearm (will attach to your bicep and hang).

I still have room to trim to make smaller.  pic below is set for 15cm stip but still to big as you can see in the above pics.  Few people told me to take it down to where the strip would be( the raised part ) and remove that and should fit.

 

[Pyrates[TK]]

Maybe shoot Andrew (Sly11) or Tony (ukswrath) a PM and ask - sorry I can't help more.

[Daz0128[TK]]

well uploading new pics.   My advisor said we finally got it to size.
