CLJONES Posted January 31, 2020 Report Posted January 31, 2020 Hey guys, need some help and advice. Long story made short, I got some help on putting the suit together and this is what the thighs looks like when i got them back. Will this pass basic? Any idea on how to make this more pleasing to the eye? Thanks and I really appreciate all the help and comments. Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 31, 2020 Report Posted January 31, 2020 It's up to your GML (garrison membership liaison) who ultimately approves armor so I would check with them. I am a GML and unfortunately I would not approve, couple of things the color doesn't match and also the width of the strips Here is another thread on rear thighs having similar issues Quote
sylverbard[TK] Posted February 1, 2020 Report Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) ... hi :-) wow! ... ok tbh im not even sure what im seeing, but it looked like soft vinyl for some reason... what set of armour is it, and are those shims? to make them larger? they' d need to be colour matched to the whole suit, done in such a way as to keep the front to back shape from becomming a delta, and should be the same material if possible.

CLJONES Posted February 1, 2020 Author Report Posted February 1, 2020 It is originally a suit from WTF(stunt), I mistakenly got somebody to help when I had no time (life issues). But thats life and you move on. It looks like they were shimmed with some sort of garage sign material..ugh............I have a concern about the bottom, it looks like part of the bottom ridge has been cut away, is it needed for passing? if so I may just see about purchasing another set.....And again thanks guys. I appreciate all the help now that I am actually able to do this. Quote

It is ok to have cut out sections, they had been seen on some screen armor 1 Quote
