I've been looking at the design of the neck seal, and wonder if this method for making the gaskets would work for the neck seal as well. I know neck seals are normally leather (or leather like), but the design of the first order neck seals looks like it could be the same as the gaskets. Thoughts?
I'm also wondering about this and hoping someone can answer this question. They look the same, but there could be some small detail we're missing. Can the experts weigh in?

Hi, y'all! I'm in the research phase for my first armor build. I'll be lurking around and asking questions for a while, until I talk myself up (and save enough money) to get started. Looking forward to joining the armored ranks, someday!

It's a second-hand FNA kit bought from a nearby Legion member. Not the best, and I wouldn't buy from FNA directly, but it's a good place to start, saved me several hundred dollars, and means I have the kit in-hand now instead of waiting until Fall. I don't plan to start the build until after Celebration in April (since I have 7 other costumes to finish before then), but I have questions and more research to do and want to draw on the wisdom of those who've gone before.
As of today, here's where I'm at:
The past several months have been spent collecting and studying these resources, including all 28 pages of ukswrath's build thread.
These are the pieces I have:
