I'm thinking that I'm going to grind down the back of my shin armor though, so it stops digging into the back of my knees. I'd love to be able to do kung fu in the armor... But that's alot of modding to get the waist and legs to bend freely.

Let me know and I can send it to you, though the screen store might be faster.
