Quebectrooper Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 looks alright but it can look good. 1- the chest plate shoud go on top of the ab plate. 2- the biceps should be turned and attached to the bells. 3- plastic belt should be higher . 4- the pink shirt on the chair should'nt be there. you can do it !

iron ram Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I think it's a white t-shirt Just bad lighting makes it look pink Looking good coming along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yep, Quebectrooper said it all, including the shirt. And now that I see the pics bigger on here — not on my iPhone — I can see too that it looks like you have a larger gap on one side than the other. You want to try and equalize that as much as you can. Then let the belt do most of the "girdle" work. (you'll want a friend to help put your belt on.) You're almost there though man!!!

Grit Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 if u cut the ab from the groyn and space them apart it may give u enough space for the ab to go under the chest palte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks everyone for your input. I am trying to get everything looking right. Anyone have any ideas on my back plate it just doesn't look right. Eather ATA makes small backplates or I have a huge back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You have a big back... but it really just needs to come down some more... more than be a lot bigger. As for getting the ab plate to go under the chest plate, it's how you wear it. I know it will fit because I've seen you in it, but you just have to pretty much tie them together and then have the gap under your crotch/between your legs be really big between the cod and the butt plate. Let the chest "hold up" the ab plate, instead of the butt plate "pull" it down. I think that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ok ill have to try that Noel thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeap, as stated by Noel, Quebectrooper made the checklist of corrections. Two other things: 1 Try to make your thighs have a snugger fit. Might be pic angle but looks it could be a little bit more adjustable. 2 Also in pic 1 it looks there is a gap between ab and kidney plate. If so their is a thread of a fellow trooper suggesting deployment in which this recommendation could be handy just in case the gap exists or could be angle pic. Either way here it goes: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=9010&st=20 Keep it up Robbie your doing nice progress!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 1 Try to make your thighs have a snugger fit. Might be pic angle but looks it could be a little bit more adjustable.I've seen them in person and they fit pretty snug already — right, Robbie? It's just the angle of the picture. 2 Also in pic 1 it looks there is a gap between ab and kidney plate.Yes... this is what I was talking about above. The gap looks bigger on one side than the other.

Robbie Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I havn't been on here in a while so I thought I would give everyone an update on my build. I got it done and did a trial by fire at the Albuquerque Comic Con. I need to fix my strapping on my thighs and shoulder bells. The thighs started slipping down and my shoulder bells fell off. I am planning on getting that all fixed up this weekend now that I have time. I still need to close the gap inbetween my abplate and my kidney plate. I'm going to do that with a little extra plastic I have aquired. I should have pictures up by monday or tuesday after next weekend. It must be just me but man time to work on this is hard to come by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
