That’s looking really nice.

The gallery pictures show the brow trim ending in different places on different troopers, so, nothing wrong with what you have (to my eyes).

Haha. Tube stripes look super to me. Good distance from the cheek and nicely applied.

I actually messed up twice with the templates.. So I hand painted the mess to clean it up

Ditch the elastic for nylon webbing and make sure the bells are right on the white shoulder strap ;)

Hi Thank you!

 

I am thinking I can reduce the biceps by 1.5-2cm and that should pull them in more what do you think?

I am also not happy with the forearms i have limited movement with them, i thinking to reduce the width first and then maybe reduce the length.

 

any Inputs welcome!

redid my biceps reduced a bit and tidied up.

 

Re did bells with better elastic...

 

forearms...

How much can I take off the ends as i have limited movement with the forearms IE its hard for mt to put my bucket on.

This is very common.

 

To answer your question there is no requirement stated in the CRL however, you don't want to take off too much because it might make your forearms look too small. I would use a photo editor and or draws lines to illustrate where you intend to cut and post them for us to see. From there we can give you better advice ;)

Once you add the under suit, gloves and the connecting material between the bicep and forearm you may not need to reduce the overall size. If it's that much of a burden than I suggest adding fabric foam to the interior for stability instead. You want breathing room.

 

Shortening the forearm as you've illustrated is ok.

You don't want to down size too much as you want the overall look to match, I have pretty thin arms and added a few blocks of foam inside to stop them moving around, works great and the glove takes care of any gaps in the front of the forearms.

many thanks on the input.

 

I have carefully taken the forearms apart and take a little of to make them a little less narrow, I still have the option to add a little bit back if required.

 

will post up some pictures later tonight

 

I have also redone my biceps and now the bells are more closer to the chest plate.

 

Redoing the elastic on the on the shoulders as I used cheap elastic and its a bit too stretchy. For the bells I am going to redo with double elastic to have some give but strong enough to to pull them in.

 

@gmrhodes13 I really like your strapping from the kidney to ad is there a DIY guide for this anywhere?
