Darkpain714[TK] Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Posted September 18, 2016 Well, everything is done and I suited up for what I hoped would be my final photoshot to submit for Centurion status. The suit looks amazing. It really is everything i hoped it would be. There's only one problem. Since I started this project and more specifically all the measuring and fitting parts for the side shims, I've lost near 20lbs and at least 2 inches off my waist. Which means those side shims that I spent countless hours sanding and polishing need to be at least 1" shorter on each side now. As I type this my mind is spinning thoughts on how to correct this. Will post more in a few days. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote
kman[TK] Posted September 19, 2016 Report Posted September 19, 2016 Congrats on the weight loss! I would think it would be pretty simple to just lop off an inch from each side, sand the edge to clean it up a bit, and re-glue the attachments farther in. (drill the three new holes for the rivet attachments... you'll probably need a new set of rivets from JustJoseph if the originals break when removing them but that's all of $3) 1 Quote
Darkpain714[TK] Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks for the support kman. It shouldn't be too big a deal. Just was over celebratory thinking I was "done". Back to being almost done again lol. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Quote
