There is a bloody piece missing on both of them!! At first I thought I had missed a piece when I was cutting the templates. It turns out that the missing piece is actually missing from the foam converted file. No biggie to fix this.
The second problem is whats really annoying me.

Here's the inner thigh part for the left leg. I made it all nice and what not....
Guess what? It doesn't even fit!! The shape of the inner thigh is completely off!!

Ugh!
I'm will have to make one up myself.
Yeah. I will most likely wrap my leg with cling wrap and Duct tape then while wearing the thigh have my wife trace out the inner thigh shape and make my own templates from that.I remember having to rig it to fit. Was not fun
Biggest thing is using a higher quality foam. I splurged and bought some HD foam.Those shoulders look very nice! Anything you have been doing to get them to look that clean with the cuts, angles, and glue?
What would be causing you from holding back and pondering over it? If you have doubts, go for it, but if you are happy with what you already have, keep them. It doesnt hurt to make more thoughAlright... Dilemmas... For those you who have been following this thread, I want to ask your opinion. As you know my rebuild started last year with the shins. Those were made of reliable puzzle mat foam from Walmart. Now the recent armour parts that were completed were made with HD Foam by Lumin's Workshop bought from Arda Wigs Canada.
The question I am asking is.... Should I build the shins/greaves again? This time with the HD foam to match the rest of the rebuild.
It'll probably be more dent and ding resistant made with HD Foam but then again, it's the shins. Cheap foam getting beat up? BATTLE DAMAGEAlright... Dilemmas...

To tell the truth I just guessed. I knew the angles were between 45 and 90 degrees. So when cutting my bevels one part had a bevel of 45 (roughly 1/4 inch) and then other side I would measure 1/8 inch and it works out.Great work on the shoulders. I'm struggling a bit with my own... any tips for getting the right angles? I've been trying to interpret the edge angles that Armorsmith gives you but it doesn't really make sense to me.
