Suulyar Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0537.jpg Grrr. Obviously I had a technical issue while pulling the E6000 apart. The trim guide linked above shows most of the trimming from the back part of the bicep, but considering how much I need to trim, should I go ahead and take 1/2" from each side of the front to take out that chip or should I go ahead and do the E6000/canvas patch and take all the trimming from the back? I apologize for all of my noobish questions, but I feel like I am playing with the big kids here and I want to make sure I get everything right. I absolutely love working on my mando kit, but as member of NEG jokingly said "here's a T-visor and a box of crayons...go". This build definitely has a different feel to it. Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The hand plates are probably fine. I don't believe you'll be able to find a smaller set, unless you go with latex. What you can always do is add "finishing strips" to the sides of your biceps to cover it or just glue the chip back in place. I'd probably start With trimming the back down to size, and see if you need to start trimming the front to fit afterward. -iz Link to comment
Suulyar Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Don't worry, the tape was just there for pics. Already gently peeled off with no damage to the paint. http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0544.jpg It feels like it fits well, but just wanted to make sure that it looks right before any cutting occurs. http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0539.jpg http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0538.jpg Link to comment

Suulyar Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 >.> i see a warlock...*points at tshirt* i'm a shaman! Ahaha, I can't believe you caught that. I actually have 5 85s (all horde)...and none of them are my lock. I have been playing rift instead of WoW recently. I met up with some CTG people today and got a better idea of how armor is supposed to fit shorties (5'4") like me. I got my bowcaster finished...oh wait, wrong forum. Link to comment
T0R1[TX] Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 lol i know anything wow i can spot em a mile away....i have one 85...main shaman i mostly try for achievements My armory =D i'm 5'5" lol so i know that we need to cut alot so armor fits =) heh so you probably have to cut the legs about an inch or two shorter huh Link to comment
Suulyar Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 The calves fit great actually, but yes, I am going to need to shorten and skinny up the thighs. Did you do a lot of trimming to the torso area? -Pauldron painted, just need to touch up where some of the gold snuck in near the male velcro. Nice armory, btw. I left with a 346 on my main around February. My account is still active so maybe I will grab me some professor plums (epics) from that new 5-man ZG. Sullis/Spinebreaker Link to comment

Did I ever mention how tiny your feet look in that thread? And I have a lvl 50 Fire/Kin decked out with 12 or so Purple enhancements and a 4D all IOed out. Both with a 3rd teir +1 Level Shift Alpha and an unlocked 3rd tier Judgment slot. Fun time slammin freaks there! Can't wait for my Fire/Stone Tank to catch up! ......But that's a different game.... -iz Link to comment

Suulyar Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 So, I ended up having to trim a bit from the front due to my cat stealing my little snapped off bit and having issues getting another piece to sit flush. Should I add a strip to cover the sides to make the overlap look full size or is that not necessary? There is about 1 cm worth of overlap/lip now. Pics when I get home from work if needed.

Suulyar Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 -Boots were delivered today. Perfect fit! -Canvas ammo pouches also delivered today (it was like Christmas when I got home from work). I just need to pick up some black latex wood stain to color them What I was referring to in my previous post... http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0546.jpg I need to add a cover strip, correct?

Suulyar Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Some progress made this weekend. As I said, the boots came in and fit nicely. http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0561.jpg Pauldron painted http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0562.jpg Canvas pouches still trying to dry three days after being dyed...stupid humidity. http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/sullis/IMG_0563.jpg On a side note, I got the helmet padded, but ended up removing the faucet aerators and lenses. Both lenses were giving me trouble staying in place and one of the aerators actually wouldn't stay together. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Those look like the boots I have, where did you get them? Pauldron came out very nicely Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I wonder if you could tie the pouches inside an old pillow case and stick them in the dryer... -iz Link to comment

Suulyar Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 The boots are the same as ACjay's from amazon...Bass Men's Amsterdam Ankle Boot. I think I am going to try taking them out to the garage tomorrow to get some heat. If I do bring them outside I think I will cover them with a pillowcase or scrap cloth. Link to comment

Suulyar Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 -Pouches are dry and looking good! -Barrel of my t-21 is done, now just working on the rest of it. -Started my snaps. I am lucky as most of the male snaps are still in place, but some of them have fallen off and/or did not make the cut during the trimming process. Link to comment
