Man, I wish I would have caught this thread sooner. I have a great file that works as structure and bracing for the thighs you built. It looks like they came out fine regardless.
Also, I really, really hate being the one pointing this out, but the shins are too big. They look very well made, but they're oversized by probably a good 5cm or so. I'm worried that when you get the boots under them, the shins will be pushed up so high, they will overlap the thighs above the light ports. Again, sorry for not catching this thread sooner.
The rest of your armor looks spot on and is very well done! You know what you're doing. Keep it up!
Any other things to mention?
No, man. Like I said, the rest of the armor looks like it's scaled perfectly, your pep-work, resining and fiberglassing/rondoing skills are great. Other than the shins, this is looking awesome! If it makes you feel any better, the first pair of shins I build for my Mk VI looked exactly like those, way too large. I even resined them before I realized it.
If it helps at all, the shin should start about 1 or 2 cm above your ankle bones (since the boots will easily cover that area) and extend up so the top of the shin armor lines up with the top of your kneecap. When the shin is the proper size, it makes for a tight fit. You can get them on by essentially putting them on backwards, then spinning them around 180 degrees once they're on, and to take them off, spin them around 180 degrees and slip them off.
Yeah, it's that last picture that worries me. With the boot, your shin will only be about 2cm, maybe 3cm lower than that, and it's covering the front portion of your thigh armor. You wouldn't want the rest of your armor, which looks great, to be overshadowed by something that sticks out because of something that's wrong with it, would you? Ultimately, it's up to you, but if it were me, I would rebuild.
It is my greatest shame to admit that I had not given any attention to this thread before...but now that curiosity got the best of me, I am blown away by the quality of your work far. Truly, this project is gonna look great!
I'm curious about what color you plan on making it?
Thank you broHey Your doing an amazing job so far!
If you don't mid me asking, for the under spinal thing what size did you get it in?
xD and how tall are you, because I plan on getting one, but don't know what size I should get for it to be a nice and tight.
