  1. Thanks for your answers. Here in Argentina, it´s not possible for all buy an armor made of fiber glass, ABS, HIPS, or PVC. I saw some people wearing whit Eva Foam, but I don´t know if they belong to the 501st. That's why I did my question.

    Have you contacted the vendors in the getting started thread to see if they'd ship to you? Try ap armour from Canada or an American vendor...I can't see a problem shipping to Argentina.
  2. Hey Sly! Thanks for reviewing me! I totally understand what you're going for and believe me, there probably no one who it bugs more than me! I've had this convo a couple times with Gaz about it and I literally have the elastic so tight that it's difficult to snap it while suiting up. I think the bottom line really is that my stupid shoulders are too broad and it just pulls it outward. If I raise my arms a little it meets perfectly but if I relax they separate. The only solution I can think of at this point would be to use nylon so there's no stretch.

     

    I went through several tries to make it sit right but no matter how tight I make it as soon as I relax, it comes right back.

     

    I'd really like to get it approved but I don't want to cheat and put gaffer tape or something just to get the shot, it kinda is what it is. If anyone's got a better solution, I'll totally try it and resubmit!

    I don't understand. Which elastic is so tight? Biceps elastic should be loose. Top attachment just needs to be shorter by half an inch each. Safety pin it shorter and put it in. Does that fix it?

     

    Do your shoulder bells have a return edge on the bottom holding it out a quarter inch?

     

     

    Actually...if you swap the white double snapped nylon from left to right that moves the snap an inch...do they line up properly otherwise?

  3. Greeetz Jo and thx for your service

    If you're really replicating that one set of armour, the white elastic should be just behind the shoulder bell connection, not on the rear armour.
  4. First things that need to be fitted are cod, butt, kidney, ab. Then shins, forearms. Everything else becomes relational to the core and extremities. Dont shorten anything until you can wear the mid section, and it needs to be tight. Then figure out thigh placement. And get the legs done. Chest and back should just sit there, easy, and shoulders just hang on, biceps then gets adjusted so you can bend your elbow and fixed in place. Then forearms in place again so you can bend arms and presto. Stormtrooper.
