TK8776 jgarrettg Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Hey Guys, Finally got it together enough to show it off. I'm going to see if I can can get ID'd. Then with a few more mods I'll give Elite a try. FX Kit with partially Modified MRCE. I really hate the back of the FX thighs. First thing that is going to go. Well that's it so far. Critique welcome. Edited February 5, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote

Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 Awesome! I'd tighten up the sides, but otherwise it's spot on. Yeah - you make life easy for your GML Quote

I am so glad you posted this picture of the back of the FX thighs. I'm putting together an FX as well, and I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how the heck these things go together and what I'll need to trim Did you do any trimming on the thighs, or were they left untouched in the back for the most part?

TK8776 jgarrettg Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Posted August 4, 2009 Very nice!!!!! One question how tall are u? 6,1 ??? around there? 6' 3" Yes like a latex glove in some areas.

I trimmed the heck out of them. Mostly to taper them to fit my legs. I didn't trim anything off of the bottom just where the seams glue together. I glued the front and the back seams. The thighs were the toughest part of this kit. Quote
lam1308 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 wow, i wanted to buy ATA but now i don't know for sure anymore. Quote

VacTrooper Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 NICE WORK! That's the way FX is SUPPOSED to look!! Quote
darren1970[501st] Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 Hi John. I agree with you the worst part of an FX build is he thighs. I needed to trim a lot off to get them to 'funnel' don toward my knees. You've done a great job - good luck with the clearance ( should be a breeze ) Quote
