[CJ49er]

I updated all of the broken photobucket photo links with Flickr links.

that was prob a pita, but very helpful for those of us still building/needing ref pics. Thanks!

To prep for Starlight I finally decided to trim out the return edge on the back of the thighs and shins:

One of these days I'll get around to assembling the replacement shins I've had for almost a year now.  That right leg shin looks terrible from the back.

So if I decide to go this route with my thighs would it be easier before or after gluing?

id recommend doing it after.. you will be able to put it on and figure out just how much needs to be removed + you will get it nice and even the first try rather than having to go back in and trim.. this also makes it a easier to walk up stairs!!

Thanks Mike.

A couple of minor repairs/fixes today:

I've been meaning to shorten my elastic shoulder straps, but I didn't want to completely replace them, so I did a shortcut of just gluing them shorter:

We'll see how those holdup.

I also trimmed a bit of the return edge from the chest neckline, and I also used my heat gun to try and shape my butt plate a bit in order to keep it front sticking-out on both sides.

Then after having these for 1.5 years, I finally decided to work on these Anovos replacement shins.  Got the left one glued:

At the end of the night on May the 4th, this happened as I was taking off my rubber gloves:

My good friend Michael Halstead just happened to have this brand new set with him, which he gave to me.  What a great guy!

I removed the rubber plates from the old gloves.  It was pretty easy since I only glued around the perimeter of the plate.

Next I'll glue the plates to the new gloves.

I switched to nomex gloves and the plastic hand guards a long time ago for trooping. Glad you were able to fix yours.
