Arms & Knees

The Scout Trooper armor kit comes with 6 pieces of arm plates, and 2 knee pads. Their fixations and assembly are pretty straight forward: black/white velcro and black elastic strapping.

You will need to do a bit of heat-shaping on them, and trim/sand certain parts if you're on the small side.

This is the upper-arm piece, comes with a "T-bit" accessory that needs to be glued on, or fixed with a metallic wire through the ABS plate. I did not do that because I'm not confident enough with my drill. You may need to do some sanding on the T-bit, and heat up the plate a little before you place it in. That's a little risky but it worked out fine on this.

Shoulder bells, heat-shaped to narrow them around and trimmed a bit on the lower part. Before and after.
