Forearm fit question?

[Jef]

So I'm in the midst of gluing up my Anovos armor and I'm curious if I should stop and size this down more. It doesn't look too bad with gloves on but if I should fix it, now would be a good time.

 

the upper, elbow side fits nice and it is almost snug. The wrist side seems a little large but with gloves on I'm not sure I could size it down more than a cm or two and still get my hands through. I have some small wrists and large hands so...

Here's some photos:

A little hard to tell with the camera foreshortening, but it does look a bit large at the wrist. You've removed all the return edges, which is good. It's nothing that would hold up approval though. So if you don't feel you can go smaller and still get your hand through, then don't.

You can always check your build against the ANOVOS pics. They did a god job of sizing their kit to their model.

I pulled it apart and refit. I was able to lose close to 2cm at the wrist which helps with the look.

Thanks for the feedback. Knowing it wasn't a deal breaker if I didn't fix it gave me the courage to take it apart and redo it better. Saved again by the e6k
