  1. These suits look like they were made to be rugged.  Much more expansion areas built in.  If I got blowed up in my Anovos kit I'd be laying next to the crater naked.

     

    See those TK's running?  That scene would look so different in Anovos kits.  Parts flinging off.  Blood squirting out.  Troopers limping and tripping.

     

    Gotta hand it to these guys.  They made armor you can move in and it still looks damn good.

     

    Can't wait to see this movie.

  2. I've had good luck fixing these cuts with a small sealing iron. They are used for applying monocote covering on RC airplanes. You could probably use a regular sized iron if you are careful. The good thing about a cut like this is that all the plastic is still there. An iron and a little bit of pressure will heat the plastic and push it back in on itself. I'd practice on a piece of scrap first. Good luck.

  3. I use suspenders too. If you attach everything correctly you won't get overlap or flapping. For me it keeps everything in place and takes the strain off of the armor. When you are trooping for 5+ hours at a time it helps keep things comfortable. Also you can leave that other accurate accessory at home (gaffers tape). All my parts are attached together with heavy duty elastic and industrial Velcro. Then attached to rugged construction suspenders. It keeps everything in its place extremely well. Custom Tailored to me. I've been trooping in it for years with hardly a repair or an adjustment.

     

    I bet back in the day when they we're filming they never knew who was going to be wearing the armor. Then it only had to stay together a few shots at a time. Assistants with gaffers tape standing at the ready.
