$20.00 says I would just screw it up, also I have to go buy a dremel lol.

Ok, it's just that I got the armor prebuilt and I'd rather just modify it myself, thanks for the offer though.

Is the other set of armor finished or unfinished?

Where are you located at?

Yeah I live by the highland lakes campus, and yes the thighs need to be trimmed

Hello, I have an FX kit that I have stopped and started over the years putting together, but have been trying to find good resources on how pieces should sit when worn. I want this to be year to complete it. I see a lot or posts about how to put together, but few on how pieces should sit when worn....

Thanks I'll check them out.

Files are too big and won't let me post pics of me in the armor.

Think you can you just give me a list of what needs to be fixed then please?

With E6000 I already resized the thigh prices all I have to do is trim them, how does the torso and arms look to you? Look like they need any modifications?

It might be as simple as shortening the straps between the chest plate and the ab section and/or the back plate and the kidney plate. This might pull the whole thing up while pulling it down on your shoulders more. Is that foam in there as a spacer between your actual shoulders and shoulder strap? ...

Ripcode wrote:Did you buy it pre-assembled?

Yeah I bought it with the hopes of modifying it myself.

Here's some photos

So here's my AM Armor kit I bought, as you can see it's a bit big on me, is there any ways this can be trimmed or resized to fit me? I'm 5'7 and this was made for sombody around 6'2.

Or maybe we can meet up and you can see for yourself what needs to be done mainly the thighs and shin pieces they're a bit long. Other than that everything else fits fine.

I'm up in Clarkston, off of Dixie and White Lake Rd.

Let me know when you get some feedback from Ripcode and I may be able to help you make the mods.

I'm new to forums and what not...how do I contact him?
