woodman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I got some new parts for my SWAT build and I am using the butt joint method anyone have the correct coverstrip widths? I checked LSD and they have conflicting info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I do have them... Got them from some post from Art some time ago, from what I understand was a meticulous reference measurement from all kind of ANH Sandtrooper screen grabs and references. This is how I did mine anyway and I do think this is the correct way to do it. Biceps: 0.75" Back and front Arms: 0.75" Back and front Thighs: 0.875" Front 1" Back Shins: 0.75" Front 1" Back Hope it helps.

woodman Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks Juan. The info over at LSD is not the same as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murdock Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 They are referring to the thin plastic strips that cover the the butt joints/overlaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I had... All arms 15mm Front of legs 20mm Back of thighs 20mm Back of shins 25mm I use about the same mm there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWMAN Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Guys can you clarify the different between legs and shins? Back of Shins: 25mm Front of Shins: ? Back of Thighs: 20mm Front of Thighs: ? Back of Arms: 15mm Front of Arms: 15mm I'm assuming legs refers to thighs? If so, what width mm did you use for front of shins for SWAT?

DirtyBoy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 20mm fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Working in my new TM armor, Paul said that the original screen used armor had no real definite measurements for the cover strips. That there is a range for each part, but it does vary a lot... So... Biceps: 15-17mm Arms: 15-17mm Thighs: 22-25mm Shins: 20-22mm for the front 25mm for the back (thats the only set measurement Paul suggested) On thighs and shins the back strip is, or could be, wider than the front. Hope that helps. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
