Mainly top and bottom on the thigh. With it taped in place, sit down, mark where it is creasing at your waist and trim it back to that spot. And about half inch at the bottom just so it's not clipping the knee if things shift.

The idea of those shin plates was to wrap almost completely around the leg, for a "heavy armor" effect; same with the large thighs.....but, feel free to mod these as you see fit, because they are totally customizable! ;)

Oh, and the boot plates were made to fit my motorcycle/lineman boots, lol. :)

Hahahaha! Good to know! :) I may just trim them all as I like the "heavy armor" look. Just a few more templates to print t and size and I'll start putting it to sintra. :D

Now I just need some shoulder templates. :)

Ok, so I've come up with a template that I believe I can work with.

Here's the concept. I probably don't have it on in the right place, but it's close enough for the moment. :)


Now to trim down the thigh and shin plates. ;D

Shoulder plate seems maybe a bit small, to give you more volume i would probably make them a little bigger, not too much.

Alright! After some more trimming, here are some picts with the flightsuit, boots, and templates. :D







I apologize for some of the templates sagging. The masking tape I was using doesn't stick to my flightsuit like it does to my jeans and shirt. I'll give the thigh plate a test run and see how they works before any kind of trimming.

Next stop, sintra!!! ;D

Looks good! That lower boot plate is supposed to lap under the top one, with no space between them, in case you were wondering...it's supposed to mimic the chest layering. ;)

Not a problem; you'll have to twist and tweak the 'limbs' that go around the heel of your footwear with a heat gun, to conform to the shape of the boot, and then add whatever connection type you like.

I found that adding a little to the length of those limbs will give you more to work with, as you can always cut off the excess, if needed.  ;)

Well, I've finally got some progress to report. ;D

Front:


Back:


I realized after I tore everything for the front picture down that I had the shoulders the wrong way. Idk if they'll work yet, but if not, I'll be taking the PVC elbow route (thanks Rob!).

Thanks vod! :)

I've actually made a direction change to my kit. I'll be able to use everything that I have minus the shoulder plates and thighs. I'll be making a Legacy variant of the Neo-Crusader Shock Trooper. :) I'm working on a concept image to better convey what I have in mind. It should be done in a couple days. :)

Ok, after some delay, here is a rough mockup of what I was thinking. :)



The scale is a bit off in the image, and the boots are turned. I didn't add boot armor in the image as I could not make it look right. There will be boot armor in the actual kit. ;D Also, I'd like to add trauma plates to it in places, but didn't want to take the time to draw them all out right now.

Progress is slow, but steady. I've got the chest plate shaped and am working on the first lame. I'll throw a pic up here soon.

Wow, this thread has been neglected. Sorry vod'e. :(

I've been mostly working on my bucket, and then had a lull in working on my kit all together. However, I'm now back and ready to report some progress!

Here is what I've got shaped atm..



Currently working on the first ab plate. I'll post again with a duct tape test fit once I get the others shaped.

Oya!
