Bicep and forearms?

[fil5117]

With my first proper troop as a Biker Scout I found the black of my flight suit bled into my bund, so I've had to buy new soft parts and adding poppers and velcro for armour. I'm planning to go with Lancer one of the comments I saw was the rotation and position of the biceps. I've looked at the film and in my less enlightened eyes they appear to be all over the place, based on how people are standing / dressed. I was wondering if there was a definition image / film or fan that I could use to work to.

Whilst on the subject of biceps. When I used poppers securing the biceps at the top the biceps flared out from the flight suit at the bottom. I've switched to strip of wide velcro the length of the bicep but they still pull out a bit. It could be my elastic is too tight, pulling it in at the top too much. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this.

Thanks

Do you have any photos of the bicep flaring issue while you're wearing the costume?

This was when I had them attached with poppers

 

This was with velcro and tighter elastic, I had to mess around with them a bit for the photo to get them to look this good.

 

The bottom edge of the biceps still pulled out a bit. It's possible I'm being overly critical, I hoped it maybe a common problem and therefore have a simple solution. Thanks

Thanks for the photo. While I can certainly see the bicep flaring issue on the first photo, I see zero issues with any flare in the second photo. I think switching to velcro has done the trick.

For the position of the biceps, you are right that they appear all over the place in the film, but they should be in line with your shoulder bell.  The forearms should be rotated slightly inward. A good rule of thumb is to have the bottom end of the forearm centered on the V split in the glove. Take a look at some of the lancer submission photos and you’ll be able to visually see the proper position.
