Revolver Ocelot[501st] Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 How do you guys close up the back of the shin armor? Velcro seems like it would fall apart after awhile and its kinda tight for snaps. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velcro seems like it would fall apart after awhile and its kinda tight for snaps. Any other ideas? Industrial velcro. This is a widely accepted and proven way to close up the shins at the back. You can buy it at Home Depot, Staples, Office Depot and places like Joann's Fabrics. The other idea is to leave them open at the back, I believe member "firebladejedi" uses the open back method.

Revolver Ocelot[501st] Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Would you just cut narrow strips to fit in the grove on the back? Iam using FX armor if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 usually there is a shim strip and velcro behind that. screen used. or you can always use white gaffers tape. or just leave them open. all were used on sets on film.

Revolver Ocelot[501st] Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 It may sound indeed, silly but anybody got a pic of how they did the velcro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBlackk Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Would you just cut narrow strips to fit in the grove on the back? Iam using FX armor if that helps. Yes. I too have FX armor and just cut the velcro into slim strips to fit in the groove and the overlapping section. I will try to get a pic of this later.

ObiHahn[TK] Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 usually there is a shim strip and velcro behind that. screen used. Never heard of velcro being used for any on-screen suits. Do you happen to have a pic/source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
