This is what my Strapping Kit looks like: I have no straps holding the sides down (Chest to the back plate.)

OK! So after about a year after ordering my armour, I never finished it because I hit a wall in building it. I didn't know how to size my legs or how to assemble the shins so I kinda gave up on it until I could set some time aside to work on it. I met a friend who is super into Star Wars (Several Costumes including: Imperial Guards, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Kylo Ren) got me back into building my armour. He wanted it ready by December so that we could set up an area in the theater for the Premier. (Rogue One was awesome and I had a lot of fun taking pictures.) I finally resized my thighs, and put together my shins. I trimmed a good inch, inch and a half off the thighs. It felt good to finish what I had started but now I am requesting a second opinion. I feel my chest piece and shoulder bells is too big for my small build. The images above are the most recent. The images below is a few months older.

Wonderful! Thank you. I'll start working in that now. Perhaps this will help others in the future. I'll post photos in the future. Again Thank you!

Hello, I getting down to the last few pieces of armour, all I have left to do is the thighs (I'm going to have to take off about an inch to fit my frame), belt and drop boxes, the shins/calves, and the helmet. I am having issues with the shins, and from my understanding, the Prop Masters set comes with two identical shins both interchangeable, left to right, no distinguishing features for left and right legs. I can get the front of the shin to line up, but the back is way off. See photos below. Front is lined up... Back is not... If I line up the back... The front is off... If I force the two to line up, the bottoms are all out of whack, and they don't follow the natural curves of the armour. And if I force the armour to line up, it gets a lip at the bottom. Am I suppost to line them up at the tops and go against the natural curves? Did I cut too much off of the armour? Thank you!
