cartermwebb[TK] Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 Hello There! Hey I have a CRL question. Working on my Legacy Fem TK version A and I have to trim some pieces to fit correctly. This is causing an alignment issue with the return edge on pieces like my thigh plates. Example images of misalignment vs CRL. Nothing in the CRL states that there needs to be a return edge. I’m wondering if I can just remove it and easily smooth it out? Or do I need that bevel at the bottom to be approvable? Thank you for the help! Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 Many of us use a free online image host Imgur as these forums only allow a small amount of photos. Upload to Imgur (when you create an account) then copy paste the image link into your post Normally we align the bottoms of thighs together and trim the tops (opposite for shins). You could trim the top and perhaps add a new return As it is the back you could trim to match the other side then also trim some return edge from the other side to match. Could be a good idea to have a look through some build threads and double check how others have modified this Quote
cartermwebb[TK] Posted November 11 Author Report Posted November 11 (edited) Thank you for the feedback! I think I’ve got a plan for the thighs. I have a follow-up question for the lower legs/shins. I have large calves that only fit if the back seam butts rather than overlaps (which won’t work with Velcro). Does anyone have an example of the white cover strip for the rear seam as an expander? Thanks again! Edited November 11 by cartermwebb Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 11 Report Posted November 11 For regular Stormtrooper shins they have an overlap piece which covers the butt join, you may be able to attempt something similar and attach the coverstrip to the raised areas Greaves may utilize a white cover strip over the rear seam.
