I already did a mark 43 from do.3D wasn't happy with the fittings especially near my pants they hurt you a lot as the legs of armor in movie are long as compared from one you genuinely have. After 6 moths I can't wear that thing again, before I was 5'8 and now 5,11.
Thats not good that it hurt you did you add padding to reduce the soreness?
I did only to make it more narrow to get it struck on my thighs.
What did you use for padding? Was it EVA? Would upholstery foam be a better option?
It was EVA. If you're going for padding you should leave space according to thickness of foam you are using, the one I used was 5mm and 1cm respectively
Never even thought about giving that little bit extra for padding but i think it will be fine it looks like i should have a bit of room.
From experience I'd go chest and abs first to make sure of the correct scaling.
Agreed. And I would love to see the chest details of these files
