Badboyz70 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 So after many years of saying I'm gonna build myself a scout trooper costume, I've finally started it. As a total noob to this, I've been getting lots of inspiration from everyone here and watching videos on YouTube. I'm now starting the chest armour and I'm stuck on the best way to attach the front and the back pieces together. Watching Paul from RS prop masters YouTube video, is that right to overlap the two halves at the shoulder together? It seems a bit ridgid that way, and I'm afraid it might break taking it off and on. Any input is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 You don't need to overlap them, though that does help when you're trying to fit the armor to your body size. Usually we overlap the shoulder bridge tabs, throw some tape on there, and check the fit. If it's good, you can trim them flush to one another if needed. If you do choose to build it by putting the bridges end to end, then we usually have a strip of velcro on the underside, which keeps them together, but also allows for some flex. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
