dashrazor Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 looking at the rotj screen-shots i can see the torso has no rivets in the sides connecting the ab armor to the butt/kidney, like anh/esb clamshell setup my question is... is there straps holding them together or does the belt hold the parts? also i cant seem to find any pictures of ROTJ strapping anywhere does anyone have some pics for reference? advice? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK3373[TK] Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 As far as I am aware there's no rivets on the ROTJ TK armour connecting the back and ab plate together. The belt seems to hold them together, supported by the suspenders holding up the armour. If you head on over to star wars helmets site there is a topic about a screen used ROTJ suit with this photo showing the strapping of sorts. You can see there is a suspender type system.

TK-J Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nope, no rivets. But I still use a clamshell type setup on mine, tho it's nearly impossible to see.Especially handy for those of us who are drought and famine resistant . External views. Internal view. That's 4" wide black elastic on each side, glued onto the kidney plate and hidden snaps on the ab plate. The belt is rivetted on permanantly at the front, and the holster is attached to the kidney with chicago screws, so the belt won't sag and it is also an anchor point fo rthe belt. Just a matter of closing the snaps on the left side and tightening the belt up to get an even gap - left to right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeR Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Wonderful picture! Thanks Joe... It was from Facebook, but has been posted before a few years ago, I think by Brandon Alinger. He is the other two that were posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 you can see that the trim on the cod seems to be flapping. and the elastic strap holding on the handplate across the thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8280 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) i know oin the original suit i modeled my build after the shoulders were velcro'd, the belt facing is the only place that had the small rivets Edited October 19, 2010 by TK8280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
