[AP Armor Questions - Assembly / Glue]

Here are a couple of pics for my shin and thigh armor. I am going to trim the tops, but do you think that I should simply glue a strip on top of the current ridge? Is the stip neccessary to get 501ST Approved?

 

Thanks all!

Seth

One more question (for now)

 

With the AP armor, it seems that there is no need for the strips on the shin and thigh armor, there is an overlap for the armor and it appears that there is a strip already when the armor "folds" together. Am I doing it right? or should I trim the pieces and simply cut a strip of plastic and glue it over the armor pieces.

 

Thanks in advance,

seth

Hey Seth, I posted similar question a while back. the torso assembly and rivets for screen accurate look can get confusing, here's the thread on the subject. The pictures and diagrams posted were immensely helpful.

Hi all!

 

I have been trying to search around but decided to ask the masters to get some up front answers

 

1) Is there a guide to show where to velco / how to attach the velcro to the armor? I just want to make sure i am putting velcro where it should be. Do you use the sticky back of the industrial strength velro? or glue it w/ E6000? It seems that you glue on side of the armor then velcro the other on the pieces.

 

2) Do you attach the back and front top piece together? If so with Rivets? Is there a guide to show where to rivet or attach out there? Ive seen some with gaps others who attached the two together

 

Sorry for the newb questions, I have pretty much all of the armor cut, just ready to start to glue and attach the velcro/fit the armor

 

Thanks!

Seth
