zv288bot[TK] Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Ok... breath in... breath out... in... out... oh sorry sorry, is this thing on. Test Test... Oh hello... my story starts off like many of you. I was taken as a young child by the empire... oh, nevermind, 4th greatest day ever! Day 1. Falling for my high school sweetheart who is now my wife! Day 2. Birth of my first daughter! Day 3. Birth of my second daughter! Day 4. Received my BBB from my "Oh Canada" Canadian friend Mark from AP (via Arkansas) And I only listed Mark as 4th because my wife isn't seeing this. If she had access to this site I am sure there would be some other 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8, 9, 10.... best days ever. Ok ok ok... here are the starter pics! Today was actually multi box day because my goodies from Trooperbay showed as well as my holster from Darman. Very nice... very nice... Everything unpacked... wow... not to shabby, I'll be ok... Wait a minute... what the... Guys... where are the instructions?! Let the festivities begin! Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk 9 Quote

zv288bot[TK] Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Posted April 26, 2016 Just got legs to "rough trim" tomorrow. I need to dig around the forum again regarding return edges. I know ukswrath spelled it out for everyone it's just digging through that anovos page for it. Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk Quote
zv288bot[TK] Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Posted April 26, 2016 Ok... apparently it's not just the legs left for rough trimming. I forgot about the helmet. Now if I could only figure out where I left it last.... Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Remove the bottom of the shin's return edge. The part that touches your boot. You'll save your boots! The top part don't mess with until you do your fitments and determine return needs to be gradually cut back for comfort/prevent armor bites. Congrats on your BB day! 3 Quote
