My left forearm fits!
Well, it fits width-wise. (I'm bending my wrist a bit in this pic, so the forearm looks a little looser than it really is) I'm holding off on trimming the length down too much until everything is glued up. I've taken off one notch off the forearms at this point, and I still need to take off a bit more. I don't want to rush the fine-tuning of the fit just yet.
I feel like I've got the messiest build EVAH. Watching the Youtube build videos, they make it all look so easy and clean to attach cover strips. Me? I glue things down, and it's a complete mess of e6000, and I mean everywhere. Stuck to my fingers, on my arms, my shirt, in spots and areas all over the armor... I've even managed to get it in my hair. I know it will all come off with enough elbow grease, but still. Can't wait for the Gluing phase of this build to be done.
See in the pic above? Ugh. It looks so dirty at this point. I'll clean up everything once all my cover strips are on. I keep telling myself that Novus will come to my rescue at the end of the build and make it all okay!
