Here’s all the bits. Now he also sent the shins and I have the two small straps for the lower shin but 4 of what look like the larger upper ones and I can’t see any sign of the ones for the chest / back as of now.   
 

I’ve asked Walt and I guess the worst is I either get some sorted or he sends them but least there’s always the v1 lol

Depending on what straps you’re missing, maybe Mr. Paul (of Mr. Paul’s Shoretrooper fame) in the UK can get you replacements for less than Walt can.

Spoke to Walt and he’s sending them over , hopefully gratis as they are missed out. 
 

I’ve ordered the ones of Paul so they one way 

 

panic point know is the bloody side piece that connects the shells as that is a sheet that has to be cut but I have  o idea what shape or how to blend that part to the back 

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Having trimmed some of it and realising can't make it work cos fat , im selling the WTF kit on to a garrison friend and will stick with the v1 for now and then print if I need to

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Decided to try to print , have the right files and am now printing at what might be the right scale on measuring but can adjust and if need to go up will just chop into more pieces to fit on the build plate.

That plan failed cos of the flipppin collar and waaay to stiff so plan c. 
 

Speaking to Jim tripon and his large sized flexible Fibregkass stuff 

 

that hopefully will do the trick. Never do this the easy way lol

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Oh well.

 

 

V1 it is.   Still gonna be more than chuffed to get this cleared

ive decided to leave it for now.  its more of a size thing as I did think of getting one made in tpu

[TreeHuggerMatt]

Because of my only brain ,I wouldnt let it lie so now have options. with help ive got the front scaled to right dimensions , basically scaled to right height on the Z axis then cut the sides off and then measured and scaled the sides to correct dimensions to keep proportion with the centre plate , then saved the project .3mf.

 

Then have now chopped an 80mm slice off the bottom of the 3 objects ( not saved ) to print off , test join with tape and then check the width as know the overall height is correct.

 

 

If all good will repeat for the back armour and then once thats assembled can size the boxes and greeblies

[TreeHuggerMatt]

It never rains but it pours.  

 

Back to unarmoured once again and thats how it's staying.  sorry for the messing about but stuff happened

im printing guards for me and my CO. despite my bes attemtps at Armorsmith the scaling just does not owrk and ive wasted so many hours printing stuff thats wayyyy to small. 

trust me I ge it.
