Just so you know.. because I made the mistake.. the line I circled in your pic is not a trim line. It’s where the spat sits on the shin. It’s misleading because it looks like every other trim line. I’m waiting on another set of shins because of this. Just wanted to save you from a potential bad cut! Lol

Thanks for the heads up! I remembering reading something about that but I thought it was meaning something on the spats themselves! I really appreciate the advice! This is why I am going through and posting all of these pre-trimmming pictures!

Next are pictures of the back plate. This seem pretty straight forward. I might have issues with sizing the amount on the arm areas but I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out.

Level bottom view of the plate. Looks like it doesn't need much trimming except for a couple of spots.

Here are pictures of the front plate. Once again not much to trim it seems, just sizing the arm holes down to an appropriate size.

Bottom view of the plate. Any know how much of the edge should be taken off?

Next is the yoke plate. Once again fairly obvious where I nee to trim. Like the the back plate, and the front chest plate I may need some advice on where to trim the arm holes. And I don't have it traced in the pictures but I did find the very slight trim line where it is supposed to be cut to so it can fit cleanly to the back plate.

And finally picture of the accessories and stickers. I realized they aren't in this picture but I do have the two trapezoid shaped greeblies for the left shin. Right now I'm looking at getting the clips from R2Dan. And some of the stickers look useful but I haven't decided if I will be using them for some of the pill shaped slots. If anyone has any suggestions on what could be done instead of stickers please let me know!

 

 

 

I know it was a lot of pictures to upload but I figured these could be helpful for future kit builders. It also gives all of you a chance to assist me before I make a wrong cut! Next step is trimming!

Hey Josh do you have a build thread started yet?

The backs of the belt boxes are curved because they will sit against the belt and contour to the curve of your waist better when you wear it.

I haven't put one here yet, just my local garrison.  I'll start one.
