dougiedad7 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I have an AM armor kit and would eventually like to apply for specialst and was wondering do I need to completely cut away the overlaps in order to do but joint or is it ok to make cover strips to go over. I'm really just worried about taking too much off if I have to do but joints and how I would go about it. Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 How large are you Doug? AM armor is larger than most, so you depending on your build, you may have nothing to be worried about. Link to comment
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 i cut mine so the overlap areas were 1/2 inch then butt joined them and put inner and cover strips for added durability. my whole build is here http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/2443-dizzys-am-mods-and-build/ but i recommend giving panda's tut a look over http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/10434-pandatroopers-am-build-threadam/ Link to comment
dougiedad7 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm 6' 0" 210 pounds. Just really don't want to mess anything up. I've wanted to do this for many years and finally broke down and bought armor. Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Dizzy has you steered in the right direction. You won't have problems fitting the AM with cover strips. Like our man Izzi once said, measure twice, cut once, then throw-up. Link to comment
