Great work on the weathering. I'd add in a layer of grime in the edges of the square recessed boxes before you do the clear coat. Air brushing isn't an ideal method for weathering the shore. It's too soft and uniform.

Finally progress on the greaves

Had cut this part cos Imperial Surplus videos cut them for Tank trooper.
Had to do some repair work.

Mounted the sniper plate too much “forward” had to rip it off, patch it up sand off the glue and Abs on both pieces. Moved in back.
I think this is the final placement for everything. Will work on the straps next.

Need help. There’s no marking “grooves” on the shoulder bell to mark where these goes. No measurements from the videos also not in photo are 2 pairs of rectangular blocks to hold on the strings that goes into the hooks on the bicep armor.
Any numbers I can work with much appreciated

Hey @Fogout, I’ll get my bells out and do some measuring and take some pics. Give me a little bit to dig it out.

So, keep in mind that my kit is a different maker (MPSB), and that all of this is adjustable based off what kind of strapping you are using.

My shoulder snap is approx 1 3/8” from top to center snap.

my bicep snap is approx 4 1/4” from bottom to center snap.

My top snaps are in place based of how they sit on my bell supports. But the snap itself should get you started. Then fine tune with the length of the elastic or webbing you decide to use to attach to the chest. Here’s my support setup (also Mr. Paul):

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other Qs.
