Armor construction
Alright... I'm about to redo my armor for the billionth time. <br><br>I'm going to try attaching the pieces with heavy elastic. (chest to chest, ab to ab, cod to cod) My plan for this is to glue a strip of ABS over the elastic to the inside of the piece.<br><br>Has anyone tried this?<br><br>Pros and Cons? <br><br>Hot glue or ABS cement?<br><br>P.S. I'm still looking for a neck-seal and orange pauldron.<br><br> <p><html><body><center><img src="http://members.home.net/kscott7temp/Opal_Dog.jpg" ></center><br><center>Say Hi to Opal!</center></body></html></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub118.ezboard.com/utk101060.sho ...

Re: Armor construction
I got a note back from our supplier and the pauldrons are in production and we should have them available in a few weeks. The neck seals as well. They are coming from overseas.<br><br>I need your neck size for the seal and color/style preference for the pauldron. Deluxe or standard? <p>Commander TK895 <br>Midwest Garrison <br>The Fighting 501st Legion</p><i></i>

Re: Armor construction
No prob 101060,<br>What final mods did you perform to the armor?<br><br>Snaps, I hope... <p></p><i></i>
Re: Armor construction
Used snaps on the thighs and calves.<br><br>The elastic worked well on the abdomen, trunks and chest. Have to watch my weight though, the abdomen is snug.<br><br>My armors on loan but I'll post some pics when I get it back. <p><html><body><center><img src="http://home.fuse.net/gr8scott/helmet.jpg" ></center><br><center>"Who made that man a gunner?"

Re: Armor construction
I'm having the same problem with the weight. Since I no longer work 70 hours a week, the pounds have started working their way back on. I couldn't get the backs of my calves closed all the way, the last time I tried my armor on. Time to go hit the gym. <p></p><i></i>
