Shins

[netslave]

Shins consist of:

 

1: Traditional looking TK shins that overlap in the back

2: Shinguards on the front

3: "Straps" that wrap around the shin and are connected to buckle greeblies.

Can I ask? What is the preferred method of off putting these on? I have seen a few ways.

Elastic hinges on the front and velcro for the shin armour with a Velcro fasten for the inside of the shin straps. Is this the prefered way?

I used foam strips down the middle of the shin and glued the greeves directly to it. I also got creative in foam sculpting and added more to the greeves so the glue had more surface to adhere to on both parts.

Shins have been my biggest pain on the armor. I've done everything from paracord zipties and now my setup is Zipties to hold the front of shins together with Velcro in the back. I have 2 n52 magnets to hold the plates in place. But that's not strong enough for movement so I added Velcro on the raised bar raised with some foam. The adds a bit of stickiness while the magnets seem to keep everything from any flopping.

 

Now that im approved ill probably sand the raised edge flush that seems to be biggest issue
