I forgot to mention that I decided to glue down the kidney plate. That way it always sits flush on the one side.
I put a snap on the bottom of the opposite side to close it.
i think your backplate is upside down?

How did you connect the shoulder bridges to the chest armor? Screws also like the back?

That's actually what I did for my abdomen. I bought a Shoretrooper ab from 850 armor works and did that cutout of the extra middle top section. Works like a charm.
hey bro Reese... do you have a closeup shot of your abdomen?

I noticed on the reference photos that these should have a slight slant to them.
Again, using the figure as a reference I moved the neck line down and the sholder straps.
You can see from the head on photo that the sholder straps are down lower and in fact the bottom should be about 3/4 lower below the chest details. I debated on extending it but for now I'm just going to keep it how it is.
After
I am going to modify my chest to be like this! Keep it up bro!

Be careful closing and peeling tge velcro wgen using the armor closures. My chest got cracks from flexing too much to get tge velcro unattached.
Maybe you are using a large piece of the velcro... mine is just a thin strip.

Ok, I understand the hole on the right but what is that on the left? I don't see that in any of my reference photos. Does anyone else have this on their kit? Most likely I'm going to move the shoulder straps further down so I'll end up filling it in
I just looked at the CRL photo and it doesn't have it
I don't have it on my kit...

I was thinking that maybe using magnets instead of velcro might stop it flexing?
Magnets is a great idea!

I made a cardboard mok up to give be an idea of size, pull measurements frome the figure.
That was before the kit had even come in.
Here you can see the size difference.
I am thinking of doing this... can i have your measurements on the drop boxes?

I'm going to start discussing the differences I found in Jimmy's kit versus the photos from the celebration display and the screenshots that I have been obsessing over for the past few months
I can assume that his butt piece is larger because Jimmys kits need to fit a large range of people.
I've been pulling measurements from the 1/6 scale hot toys fig as well, as we are pretty much the same body size. The fig is just a little bit taller than I am.
I've got several several side by side companies that I'll be posting as well. Understandably there are different camera perspectives and different body types.
I am also doing this on my butt armor

How did you attach the sides to the chest plate and back plate? Is one permanent?
I attached them using industrial strength velcro

How did you mask off the teeth to paint it? I always have problems painting that spot.
I did not mask while painting the teeth... i just used enamel paint, brush painting and removing excess paint with enamel thinner.
