Juliusthegreat Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hi, I have some problem to see what leg is Left and right. I hope someone here can help me. Too me they look the same? I have tried to use stukatroopers guide but it didn't help at all . If they are the same, is that normal? Any hints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 yeah, that's a typical problem with the AP legs. One of the inner leg pieces is duplicated for the other leg's outer piece so they look and wear a little wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just glue them as they are and use velcro on the back and hope it wont look too weird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Check out this post by TrooperMaster. These are for TE2, but may help with AP? http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?s=&a...ost&p=60056 And this one: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?s=&a...ost&p=61106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliusthegreat Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Ok I have two new pics of the legs here. On the first picture they seems to be alike all of them (3 and 4 from left is the same). In the second picture its much easier to see the difference on leg 1 and 2. I can take other angels if it would help. So if I think right now, then leg 1 and 3 are left and 2 and 4 right. Or should it be the other way around? I tried again to put them on and look in a mirror... did not help (I guess I just see that lovely white plastic ). Thanks for all help so far, I will help you dust off some sand some day I hope .

troopermaster Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 You had them assembled correctly in your first post. Like Mike says, the AP is missing the original inner left shin and it has been replaced with an extra outer right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 left is right and right is left.. Ran into the same problems when I assembled mine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliusthegreat Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ok I got another problem now. I tried my leg pieces on with my boots and the plastic just about get around the shoe so that's ok. BUT, when I start to walk the leg piece moved up from the shoes. I know I can use some sort of elastic band or something to press the legs down against the shoes. Also since I have painted my jodphur boots the plastic scrappes off the paint . I only used tape on the legs when I tried this but I guess if it dont work with tape then it wont work after it's glued either...right? If I trim them shorter they will be bigger around the shoes but then they might be to short for my leg. And thanks for all your answers about my prevoius question . Cheers!

Pappy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 hi julius...any progress with the legs? did you sand it? or leave it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 To help keep the shins from riding above your boots, you will need some kind of strap to hold them down. You could sew velcro to the elastic on the sides of your boots and have velcro glued inside the ankle area which would do the job. Another way would be attach a snap to the elastic on the sides of your boots and have an elastic strap with a snap on the end glued inside your shins. This would allow the shins to move around without being fixed to your boots and they would spring back down every time. You'd only need to do this on one side of each boot or both if you prefer. A thin strip of foam or rubber glued to the inside bottoms of the shins should help stop the paint rubbing off your boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliusthegreat Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ok, this is what I have done so far: I have trimmed the legs more and the "left" leg I have tried to get bigger around my boot using a hairdryer and some bending. I have managed to make it better but I think I will need alot more use of the hairdryer. My right leg is much better and will be nice with using a snap like troopermaster says (thanks). The best for me would have been to have the same left pice from the right leg on the left leg (oh God). I dont think a snap will hold the left leg like it is right now, it's too tight around the shoe . Well I will tell more how things goes with this. Thanks for all help so far.
