New TK build - RS Props (TI-97531)

[RippTiger]

I think I've waited long enough before starting my first TK build.  Had the pieces since end of March.

Just wanted some assistance in looking over what I have done so far.

This is an RS Props stunt build.  I have completed the forearms and biceps and would like to know how I've done.
Biceps first.  (Please have patience, I have been a TIE for 7 years  )

Forearms: they should be sorted.

If you add the "direct link" option your images should show in your post

 

You may want to remove any overhang, it can catch

Thanks, I will edit the original links.

Thanks, I can take that off.

You can also trim the ends of the cover strips which are also over hanging, and cutting on an angle is fine

On to the thighs.

I have not worked in the backs yet.

Should I just curve the tops to get rid of the points?

Yes you can trim the point

Depending on fit too you may find you choose to trim a bit more off the top to fit better, but yeah trim the points and see how things fit before you do that.

Here are better shots of the top of the thighs.
Where should I cut these off to?  Do they need to match to each other exactly?  RS Props thigh don't exactly match up too well.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

They don't need to match each other, you can trim off the overhang

 

[FN1313[TK]]

Yeah, definitely trim the overhang, but I’d recommend not trimming any more than that until you get further along and can do more proper sizing and then trim for fitting if needed.
