OnlineJeff Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Posting from a phone so I'm not sure the pictures will work the first time... http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/OnlineJeff/Sandtrooper/20150218_232040_zpsyho5yiwu.jpg Do[/url] I need to redo these cover strip? Are they too narrow? They are 5/8 bit as you can see the armor is wider and you can see a "reveal" edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlineJeff Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The fit is fine. I think everyone's forearms are a little wobbly. The biceps are a bit snug but are fine. My concern is that I focused on the 5/8" cover strips and didn't cut them a little wider to cover the entire flat area on the armor. I can't zoom in close enough to other pics to know if flat area on the armor that is showing is acceptable. I don't know that it's going to be that obvious once it's weathered...

ghoulcinder@hotmail.co.uk Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Personally I think the strips are indeed too thin, I'd wait for the expert's advice however, I'm a rookie myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 15mm on the arms, however, if you add 15mm cover strips and you're left with a lot of flat area (butts) then make the strips a little thicker. It'll look much better than a large gap either side. Personally I'd re do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TROOPER Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Please tell me you used e 6000. I did the same on one forearm, but i used zap a gap. Luckily i pulled it off and everything was fine. I cant say the same for a fallen shin though. It was uglier than a mud fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlineJeff Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Luckily I've used E6000 on almost everything I've built thus far. It came right off and a new strip are drying now. I've researched everything to death but I think I just blanked out on those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
