Iz.....7? Are you turning Jawa on us?

No... I haven't shrunk to Wraith height yet. At least I don't think I have. Just came across too many good deals... Wait forgot about my Vader. 8?

 

is that like "turning japanese"??

:blink: I think I'm turning jawaese, I think I'm turning jawaese, I really think so... :teehee: I hope they don't mean the same thing. Would be embarrassing to air that out on the boards.

Not sure I understand what you mean by drastic? Here are a few pictures of me standing up. Also I notice the shirt you have. I had one I planned on useing but you need a long neck seal to cover the logo on upper back just keep that in mind. These picture are not the best as I have done some work to armor since them :P

The pictures I posted doesn't come out well, but I am wondering if the cod and buttplate need to be aligned at all, cause how mine is looking right now... They are not

 

 

I'm still lost? hah Aligned how?

ok look closely to the side picture of me, you will notice the the buttplate is almost touching the thigh armor, granted i didn't have my chest/back piece on so that might affect the placement, im just wondering if mine is #$%#ed or not...

John - good progress.

 

One question ... How is your Ab/Cod and Butt, Kidney plates staying up? Myself I use suspenders that do two things:

- I can hang my thighs off them, and they pull my butt/cod up so I don't have the parts slowly moving down during a troop.

 

While trimming is an option, plastic don't grow back. I'd rig up suspenders first and that should hike everything up an inch or two and give you a bit of a "tighter" look.

here's a strapping tutorial on FISD: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=11266

The guys go pretty deep into the strapping. All I did was attach 2 bands of elastic to the Ab/cod and butt/kidney so they hang off my shoulders. Basically I put them on like shorts. Works well for me.

 

Also how tall are you? I'm guessing about 5'10.

 

If you're still kind of puzzled then if possible please post pics of the armour without you in it and try to diagram your concerns so we'll all be on the same page.

You are pretty close elp... I'm 6'1, and about 180lbs

And as for the straps I'm in the process of creating some for the entire ab, kidney, cod and buttplate, in those pictures the only thing holding everything up was the belt.. And I'm thinking enough to trim almost 5" off both sides of the kidney/ab plate... So it should be pretty easy to go specialist

Looking good man, still need to paint the frown also I see. Ha your right about shoulders are they turned or falling? Also the armor looks pretty tight in the Cod area?
