Is the other set of armor finished or unfinished?

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

It doesn't look terrible take it from a guy that is build like a bean pole. For your leg armor you don't have to remove the front cover strip, fit it on your thighs and calves after you've taken the back strip off, squeeze the backs in on them selves till they feel right, mark both sides of the over lap and cut down the middles of those lines. after grind down the sides until they look like they fit together, re-install the cover strips on the thighs, and one side on the calves so the open strip points inward toward the opposite leg. It's up to you how you want to make the calves shut, I used industrial velcro.
