Ghostie20 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hello MEPD members, Outside of posting my progress on the Backpack thread, I want to show my progress on my AM armor and ask genuine questions on creating my sandy armor in order to become a Police Officer. Not shown yet is I have made progress on my armor as I have one of the lower leg piece is trimmed and my bucket is almost completed. Eventually, I will show my bucket completed for some feedback. On the other hand I have pictures of both the chest and back plate armor on certain sides for a better visualization. These pieces came in trimmed and I know I would need to trim these parts even more to fit them on my body in order to replicate what was shown on screen, how far should I cut off the walls off the chest and back plates minus the bottom walls(Shown in the back potions of the pieces)? Also are there anymore places on these pieces that I should cut and trim? I hope I don't sound too confusing in this post, I just need help and advice with building my armor in order to become a PO.

bigwam Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I would make the returnedge on the chest and back no more than 3 - 4 mm. At the top, towards the shoulders, I would pretty much go for 1 mm, as a strong RE can put pressure on the shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisha Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I agreed with Bigwam, my return edge is very thin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostie20 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Thank you Bigwam and Punisha for the advice. Speaking of the advice I have photos of the completed trimming and I want to know does it look ok for a beginner like me? Also I have some red arrows pointed at the shoulders since correct me if im wrong but they should be short in length and if so how far should I trim the shoulders for the back and chest plate? Finally, maybe by next week I will put these parts together but how long should the white elastic straps should be that will hold the the two pieces together?
