It isn't difficult, but you have to take your time to get it right. Remember, you can always cover up mistakes with weathering. Take a look at some good pics and have at it. Here are pics of mine, front and back: <img src="http://costumebot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/abdetailfront.jpg" alt="" /> <img src="http://costumebot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/abdetailback.jpg" alt="" /> Go here for the sniper knee plate:

Join up and you'll probably find more information than you ever imagined. Just note that folks won't post contact info for armor vendors out in the open, but troopermaster is a member over there so you should be able to contact him that way. Best wishes.

Most everyone has pinching problems when they assemble their first kit. What you need to do is wear it around the house a while and see where it pinches then sand/trim those areas. Just do it slightly at first, a little at a time, then try it on again. You can always trim more later. Usually it's the insides of the forearms and the backs of the shin pieces that need to be trimmed slightly unless the armor pieces are just way too big for you to begin with.
