Anyway, I found that there was not that much more footage of the sithtroopers other than what has been in the trailers. I think they had more shots with regular troopers, rather than the new ones.

Yeah, just making sure

I just saw the movie, am I allowed to talk about it here? With spoilers? Skickat från min H60-L04 via Tapatalk

Now I'm done for the day. Well that deadline didn't work Anyway I glued on those male snaps on the armor: And glued on the rest of the left shoulder strap: And I put on the snaps and chicago screws for the belt: ' They sat well with the armor on too Now a question; I only have 1-1/4 wide elastic for the belt boxes, does that work? Probably won't do anything tomorrow as a certain movie has premiere Nordic garrison should be here in my local cinema in Umeå when I arrive so maybe I can get some pictures with them!

Yes, here you go@justjoseph63 ! Skickat från min H60-L04 via Tapatalk

Update time! Today I redid the snaps (right this time) And glued on the new left strap: Also glued on the female snaps on the right side: Then I remembered; I hadn't put in the ab to belt snaps! That was a right pain to do this late. I also made holes for the cloth belt to the plastic one: And then I followed your advice @justjoseph63 and made some nylon straps for the posterior to kidney. I couldn't put them exactly were you showed because of the brackets and I don't have that wide nylon, so I made four straps and put them a bit to the side. I will add the male snaps later. Is it ok?

Here are some more glimpses of the new troopers!

@gmrhodes13 Yeah, it didn't go so well... But I must inform that I have decided to keep the brackets as it seems like the best option right now. I maybe can reinforce them another way instead of plastic strips?

Ok, so after measuring a bit on the shoulders I made the straps for them: I also made this to glue to the chest part: However something about this is wrong, can you guess what? THE SNAPS ON THE RIGHT STRAP WERE MADE ON THE WRONG SIDE!!! And of course I didn't realize that until I had already glued them on... Fortunatly I managed to save it somewhat by making the left strap into the right. I will still need to Resew the other.

Should I have 2 or 3 straps between the kidney to posterior? If 3, I would have to go over the brackets and wouldn't that become a bit wonky? Maybe I should just use the brackets in addition with elastic straps as backup reinforcements on the sides of the brackets?

And the last thing for today; the right kidney to ab strap! (Can I have another strap under it? So it becomes more straight when worn.) Also I rounded out the edges at the posterior @justjoseph63 I thought there was something scratching me!

Cod to posterior strap done!

Han snap done!

Posterior snaps done!

So, I am doing this as I go today, I recently finished these straps: Now I am going to try and figure out the rest, about how should everything line up? Should the crotch sit close or more space in between? How close should the posterior sit?

I know that, I ment the elastic and snaps, I am aready removing the velcro

By the way I remembered that I still have the old strapping system from SDS! Maybe I can repurpose those?

@justjoseph63 They didn't stick to the handguards

@justjoseph63 Just checked up on the gloves, yeah they didn't stick, I had sanded the back of the handguards though. They come from trooperbay since I had thought of buying from you but I think they were unavalible when I checked in late october.

I might put in elastics in addition with the brackets, then they won't be AS fragile, right?

So about those reinforcement strips, I won't have them. They were simply too thick for the screws. If anything cracks or breaks, then I will repair it. The bracket system came on atleast: And I glued on these suckers too after trimming them a bit: I have also glued on the silicon handguards on the gloves Now I know E6000 isn't the best job for this, but I wanted to try it anyway since I don't have any super glue. Now I have a question about snaps, I only bought one box of snaps from trooperbay and is wondering what these are called: Should I buy some more? I know there are other sorts too. Can I use these for the ¨Han¨ snap that I have heard about, am a bit unsure? Or the belt snaps since I have seen another sort being used in some builds.

I guess you're right, all in due time tough.

So now I have started on the bracket system. I have made the holes, altough I don't particually like that there was almost no return edge to drill on. I also made the holes for the side rivets! I could only glue a couple of the reinforcement strips as I don't have that many clamps. I have more time tomorrow, should I continue glueing the strips or just screw them on with the brackets? (Just trying to hurry to EP9 premiere!)

Getting ready for the bracket system, reinforcement strips are made since SDS has almost no return edge at all. Should I glue them on or should I just have them pinched between the screws and brackets?

I know that, I have taken of as much of the return edge as I can, it can't be much more tighter. I have a bit skinny legs so I was already prepared to put in padding if needed. Thank you though.
