walt tk armor

[Naokey]

I finally got Walt's armor.
I haven't started on it yet, but as you can see in the attached photo, I don't know which parts are used on the right side and which are used on the left side.
I'm sorry I can't explain it at this level, but I would appreciate it if someone could tell me.

A lot of WTF builds on the forum which have gone through similar matching issues, here's a few for reference. You will find most use abbreviated armor makers names in the title of the build threads  

 

Having a build thread is a great way of showing your progress, asking questions and getting feedback

Good luck with the build

Great question. This is the best answer I can give after several messages with Walt and even asking him in person. The idea is the outer leg pieces have a "straight" raised edge and the inners have an "angled" raised edge. You'll notice that in this configuration the bottoms of the shins are completely unaligned (especially the right leg) and this is ok. All you have to do is shave down the bottoms to retain their original shape until they match. Generally the outer halves are the same length if not a little longer than the inner sides.

 

Personally my legs are not in the configuration above and are instead shown here. I put the two "outer" legs together on the right side and the two "inner" legs on the left. Walt initially said that my bottom picture was correct but he later also said the first image is correct so I'm not entirely sure he knows. He's made a few videos too but isn't clear on what part goes where.

 

I was still able to pass centurion however so if you get it "wrong" it's not a big deal

Now as for the other parts check out this document I made: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDc4mtEDg0A_SfHcZXgXtmkzhSrBwaReTHWvdrcmMJg/edit?tab=t.0

It goes through my whole WTF build process so hopefully it can help.

 

In the document I went into how to figure out what piece goes to what side under the "Prep" section.

Basically the right forearm has 12 divets and the left has 11. The left forearm underside is a lot more curvy in shape. Left of the left side and right on the right

 

The biceps have the left underside side with the "thumbprint" on it. Like the forearms it has a more curvy top half to match.

Left bicep on the top and right on the bottom

Left bicep on the left and right on the right

 

For the thighs the two halves of the right side are a bit taller than the left side pieces. This time the right thigh is on the left side

 

And again all this is in my document if you want to take a look. Hope this helps.

 

Apologies that Imgur is having massive issues and I can't format pictures properly
