Cool! Didn’t know about the stormtrooper hall of fame but glad to be a part of it! Honored to have my picture chosen definitely a cool shot with R2 in the background. Thanks for sharing guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Small update ended up cutting the last tab on the back strap problem is it’s now too short for the elastic to slide over the back plate unless I move it to the very last tab. I still have yet to do a test fitting so it may actually be better once it is actually on me. Luckily the black strap on the underside is holding the front and back plates together so hopefully this won’t be too much of an issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I appreciate the feedback luckily I’m already basic approved and have been trooping in this kit for a few months now just been addressing some major issues I’ve had and I didn’t realize about the large tab on the back of the shoulder strap. Also I’m a little worried about the back just being held in place by a piece of elastic do you usually carry extra elastic in case it snaps? Also for the forearm armor I had to trim a lot of the return edge to get it to properly fit (since I have skinny forearms) so we had to work with what was left when it came to gluing the cover strips.

Also added black elastic to the forearm armor so it will be a lot easier to put on and stay in place. Before I had to stuff mine with padding to keep It in place! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New finished chest piece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also decided to take off the Velcro that was holding the front straps and glue it with e6000, I was told to not glue the back straps and leave it free floating so I have a piece of white elastic holding the back strap in place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also did some major upgrades to the chest piece I was told I should fill the gaps on the underside of the shoulder strap to make it more stable so with the help of my girlfriend, we went through the tedious process of cutting strips of abs to fill in each gap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also switched the thigh strap from a buckle to a loop which he sewed directly on to the Velcro so it should be nice and stable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We decided to combine both the chest and ab piece so it will be a lot easier to take on and off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys I’m back with some updates on my strapping! After wearing my kit and countless troops I decided it was finally time for some much needed upgrades. With the help of my local GML, we were able to make some major improvements to my setup. It’s still mostly Velcro, but we reinforced a lot of it with e6000, and he sewed some parts for me as well. Overall I am very pleased with where it is at now. I will likely continue to upgrade more in the future and include more snaps but for the time being, this is so much better from what it was before where it was mostly help together with tape. I’ll include some pictures here! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
