Arch27 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have been trying to get an RT-Mod TK kit into a decent TD, but this part is bugging me: You can see that my right thigh, at the knee, is about 1.5" wider than my actual leg. If I walk with them suspended it'll swing back and forth like a church bell. How should I fix it? Rip apart both the front and back, cut and reattach? If I were to rip apart just the back seam and resize it to fix my leg, would that look strange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonecollector Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I would take it apart at the rear. Use some tape as a guide to make a straight vertical cut. Then match up the other half. Make sure to keep the knee area narrower than the upper thigh to avaid the appearance of a bell. I hiow this helps a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a deadline of July 10th -- no later! Hopefully I can hammer it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch27 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Brought them in roughly 2 1/2 inches. Wow, what a difference! They're currently glued and clamped, and I'll get a pic up after they're done. Here's a pic after I resized them (held with painter's tape at the new correct size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch27 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Only things left on this kit are: - Making the canvas shoulder straps (lost the ones I got from Trooperbay a couple years back) - fixing/finishing the belt - painting the chin on the helmet - straps for the thighs/ redo the arm straps - WEATHER EVERYTHING. Oh and the pack needs the mortar tube pipe, but a friend says he has it. The one I have is too short by about 6". That's how it arrived...
