Imperial Surplus V2 Chest and Back Strapping.

[Gojira72]

So I am most of the way completed on my Captain build. I am using the Imperial Surplus V2 kit and I was curious if anyone who had built it has any tips on how to do the straps at the top of the chest and back. There is this metal plate underneath with these nylon straps with Velcro attached to them. I was wondering if anyone who has either built the kit or any other kit with a similar system has any tips for how to get this attached?

Imperial surplus has a series of videos on their YouTube for the Mudtrooper. happy to be corrected, but I believe the Shoretrooper straps the same way.

Unfortunately I only have the V1 and haven't gotten my hands on a V2 yet.

Have you joined Project Sandstorm?  That is the build group for Imperial Surplus Shore and Tanker kits

I was unaware of that page, I put in my request earlier today, just waiting to be accepted now.

So after a little bit of digging I found this image from Imperial Surplus showing some marks as to where how to place the straps and more specifically the cut marks for the front straps.

 

Here is a close up with my chest plate. The cut is not clean, however it is covered by the strap paddle so it does not bother me very much.
