Can I just use one of the drop boxes to cover up the center panelof button holes. By cutting down the depth of the box its all most a perfect fit. and i can cover up the stip of button holes with sheet stock. do you guys think this wold be an ok mod for the TD ab plate.

Also did anybody have to do a lot of shim work. Looks like I will have to shim the biseps and the calves any Ideas on the best way.

Using white modelling putty to fill in the holes in the ab plate is another solution. Any imperfection can be covered with "dirt".

I had to shim the thigh pieces using strips of the spare ABS that came with the kit. I just riveted them in place at the top and bottom of one of the thigh halves. Doing the calves will probably require shaping the plastic to the contour of the calf piece itself. You could use a heat gun to heat up the strip before shaping, or try using an oven for more even heating.
