Boba_Skywalker3 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I need some ideas for the inside strapping system. I need to know the different ways of holding the butt, kidney, and ab plate to my body. Please post pictures here of the inside of your armor so that I have visuals of the strapping system inside to go off of. Thanks in advance!!!

The White Knight[TK] Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Here is how I did mine. It's rather unique. I had to do it different from the way everyone was telling me because I'm so tall. It is also screen accurate (ANH Stunt) which is why I have the two snaps and brad in the crotch area and the three straps held in by rivets on the left side and the one strap connected by a snap on the right side.

Solcar23[TK] Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Here's what I did, I've seen lots of ways but this worked for me! These are just the snap plate locations but you get the idea of creating elastic straps for each connection. --------- Edited January 23, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba_Skywalker3 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thank you guys so much! This helps a lot!! Carlos, where can I buy the plastic parts (I don't know what to call them) you have on the belt used to hold up the thighs? I am planning on using something like this to hold up my kidney, ab, and butt plate. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solcar23[TK] Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I got them from a camping do it yourself supply house: It's called Backwoods Daydreamer. They had the three point strap guides I needed: The rest I got at Jo-Ann Fabric. ---------- Edited February 28, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dday[501st] Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Carlos, The snaps at the bottom of the chest and top of the ab, I"m assuming these are to connect the 2 together? Did you not want to do the suspender type inside as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Suspenders are a terrible idea. Just connect the ab and chest together, as well as back, kidney and butt and let it all hang loose together. It'll save you lots of hassle.

Dday[501st] Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 That sounds good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solcar23[TK] Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah suspenders would've had to have been sewn and after the Pandatrooper garters and the handplate connectors, I didn't want to keep bothering my sewing friends with more stuff. The armor works fine without them. The two straps in front are enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
