Honker Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hello troopers! I'm currently building a moncal set of armor and am about to start on the thighs and calves and am shooting for PO shortly after reactivation. My question is... Should the cover strips run the full length of the thigh from top to bottom or should they stop short of the raised bottom edge of the thigh? Thanks in advance for your help and guidance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Good morning, If you do a Google search you will find some pictures showing the cover strips: Grüße Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honker Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Thanks for your help! I've been looking at all kinds of reference and have seen that the cover strips go all the way to the bottom in some but not in others. I know they go all the way up for sure! Does it vary by specific trooper by chance? Or possibly by the armor maker? I know On some kits the area is raised around the bottom of the thigh.. like a detail lip and the center strip on my set is actually flush down the middle and all the way to the bottom. Does that make sense? My cover strip lay flush and not hit a stopping point at the lower raised lip. I'm just not sure if I should take that cover strip all the way down or stop at would would be the raised lip... I know On the right thigh it doesn't really matter because of the ammo belt covering the area but on the left... I'm just not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 On the left, it is ok. Where is your sniper plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honker Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Awesome!! Thank you Bigwam. Oh, that's not mibe. Its actually from a SWAT submission thread for a roadblock captain v2 which doesn't have it on the left knee. It just happened to be a quick access image to show the thigh strip not going all the way. I wasn't sure if it should if it wasn't character specific but I really appreciate your input!!
