WOW! And you did ALL this in 3 weeks!? :eek Well, I am hoping that I will my one armor done in the next 3 weeks, but work has me scheduled so many days and it's been cold and rainy for the last couple days. :(



Also, I want to ask, did you have the cut the back of the female shins anywhere to make them fit? I am having issues with them fitting and I can't get them on! D: If you did cut it anywhere can you show some pics of what it looks like and what you did to attach the pieces?

ok so, youre getting a bit more than you asked for... but here you go



its pretty self explanitory, when she put it on, she would just flip it around with the calf on the front and then it slides on. (takes a little effort and its not fun or anything.. but it does work good.



keeping the elastic in there kept it from rubbing her achilles raw. she said it was comfortable.. the rest is just some other shots of her armor and im pretty proud of it all.. the back plate WILL be an HD but we ran short of time so i just did the lower portion and grafted it on

Those suits look impressive. And the time frame that you completed them in??? WOW!!! That's REALLY impressive. I've been working for over a week on 1 suit and I haven't gotten everything pepped yet. Nice job.
 
Very impressed with the speed at which this was done! Also it is amazing to have people come together like they did and have it all work out in the end. Much respect for all those involved that pulled it off.. very nice work all!

AMAZING!!!! Love the work and suits! i wish i was as determined as you guys with making things fast....ive been working on mine for a while now and am only 2/3 done!



Also love what you did with the shins and making them fit, genius!
 
That little video for the shins really helped out. I also like your method of putting them on too. It WAS much easier, but I am re-pepping my right shin since the part I cut out of the back broke and it's cracked all over.



Yeah, I could fix it, BUT it's also a bit too snug around my knee and since I have knee problems in my right knee, I don't need it to be such a tight fit so I am just redoing it. At this point, I only have 11 more pieces to add on and it is mostly the small detail pieces.



I also wanted to ask you about the forearm pieces. Was she able to slid them on easily or did you have to cut them to make them go on too? I feel that I got the right length, but it seems like it might be a tight squeeze when I try to get my hand through the wrist part. I know if I use rondo, that will REALLY make the inside smaller and harder to get on so I was going to just fiberglass around the wrist area to decrease the chances of making the wrist area smaller. Then I was going to rondo the rest of it.

i ended up opening the wrists up as much as i could without sacrificing too much of the look. With the gloves on noones gonna see the wrists at all anyway!



glad i helped.. what did you size your HD chest to? width wise.. i was using 319mm



lmk if you would

Well, when I measured myself, I think I came up with 13 inches for the width so 330mm is what I used. Although, after I hardened it, I had some fitting issues. It was just a bit too tight around my rib cage area and when I took a deep breath, it REALLY hurt! D: The awesome Ben Streeper has my chestplate now and went above and beyond to get me an awesome chestplate. I wish I could give him a big ol' hug. :pBut I will be sending him my thigh pieces that are being scrapped now since they don't fit right. They fit, but they don't at the same time. I can't get them high enough up my leg.

Ought. Maybe I can just pickup a mold of your chest... :)
