General Armor assembly Questions

[Josafoot]

Hello,

 

So I got a SC kit and was surprised to find most of the part trimmed and read to assemble. I have a long list of questions for the the assembly of the armor in general:

 

1.) The chest/back: Are the "shoulder" pieces supposed to join together? Do they just butt up next to each other and are attached via velcro?

 

2.) How does one attach the "arm pieces" (Shoulder bells, biceps and elbow pads) I assume there is a T- strap similar to the clone trooper armor. Does the T-strap attach all three for each arm?

 

3.) What thickness (width) should the elastic be for the arm pieces?

 

4.) What thickness (width) should the elastic be for the leg pieces?

 

5.) I used ABS cement for the back plate, do I need to add a rivet as well?

 

Thanks for any help.

Pretty much the go-to tutorial for assembling Scout armor.

I was totally blown away by the exquisite workmanship of the SC armor kit. I sent Jeff an email to compliment him on his outstanding product. If you like your SC kit, might I suggest you give him some feedback. It behooves our hobby to let suppliers know they're firing on all cylinders.

Well said! I sent Jeff a note of thanks for all the good things he's doing especially with the new knees. That goes for all our vendors. This "hobby" would be hard without them.
