Flak vest visibility

[Canterbury Tail]

Here's a question. Just how much of the flak vest should be visible around the armour? Should it be visible from the front and back? If so by how much.

 

I've started on mine but once you take the collar off a regular crew neck t-shirt with the SC armour it disappears below the armour line at the front. It's also got about 4 inches visible at the back also on the SC which seems like a lot.

 

I know it needs to be just below the shoulder bells on the arms, but it's the main torso plates I'm concerned about.

 

I'm guessing however there's no visibility below the chest and back plate as the cummerbund goes up to and under the plates.

You don't really see it in the front at all in the film. Just from the back. There aren't many armor makers that really capture the chest armor well, but the movie chest armor rides up much higher than most of the fan sculpts and the neckline is rounded rather than squared -- so being so close the neck really hides the vest from view in the front.

 

In the back it is definitely visible in some shots, I thought I had a screen capture in my photobucket but I can't find it.

These might help.

Cheers guys. Interesting, in that second set of shots the flak vest very clearly has a polo shirt type of collar folded over.

That's not the vest, that's the undersuit. The line of the flak vest goes below the armour neck line and you can't see it.

that guy was wearing special rubber armor because he was about to get flipped by Harrison Ford. They seemed to not have dressed him as carefully as the regular scouts

Thanks all. I think I'm good with the flak vest now. Started work on the sleeves and now I have small white threads from the batting all over the place. Going to take a while to clean them out.
