Here you go. Haven't glued it together yet. I'm thinking it'll be easier to trim when it's in two pieces.

Well like you said I think there should be some there to give the appearance of thickness, but it doesn't need to be huge and you should also trim it for comfort.

Working on some fitting and getting the forearms squared away. Below is where I'm at.
Question:
How are the shoulder bells length and location wise?
I'm thinking about an inch shorter.
What else should I be looking at? I'm going to go the matte finish route.

I'm getting to the point where (I think) I'm mostly with the armor. Should I be looking at a Matte or Satin finish clear coat to seal everything?
Thanks,

Need some advice on this. Obviously, I'm missing the helmet and the kama. Am I on the right track?

I brought the thread up to the team who gave this advice.
The crl says matte or gloss. A satin should be fine as well. It is more durable than a matte finish. The clear coat would bring it up to a mild gloss.
Also you need to rotate the bracers so that the long side is to the outside of the forearms.
And... Can we see it with the kama?
So far so good is the general feedback

Thanks for the feedback; I'll get the forearms adjusted. I'm still working on the Kama. When I get it done, I'll post a pic.
