Mark VI forearm length?

[Weslicon]

Hey there everyone! I just downloaded a Mark VI forearm and the default measurements seem huge. Based on the reference pictures I've seen of Master Chief, it looks like that the pointy elbow piece goes out about and inch or two past your elbow (when bent around 90°) So I was wondering if I should just measure my forearm from wrist to elbow at 90° and add an inch or two? based on your building, what have you guys done? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It does protrude over the back of the upper arm a bit, but more like two centimetres, not two inches. Have a look a my build thread for a sketch.
