Papatrooper Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Alright, so I am getting an RS Props kit with original brackets. This is my first kit, and I've seen a lot about snaps in the threads here. I'm just wondering for trooping is it better to have the brackets or snaps?

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'm going snaps but I have seen that in theads that they can loosen with time, not that much trouble to change. The brackets would be more screen accurate and really they shouldn't come off as they are held on by nuts and bolts to the armor. Think it's just up to you which you would like to use.

Tray[TK] Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 all material stretches over time so there is a chance you would have to replace strapping at some point anyway. It boils down to accuracy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 the brackets can tear the armor, while snaps might not be so destructive in certain situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hey Gordon...which material get you? ABS or PVC I've not seen anything yet on an ABS material like cracks....with brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeSidious Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 yep look at the RS screen used armour ,alot of the bolts have been moved and replaced because of tearing.Though I still would go for the brackets over snaps.

Papatrooper Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am getting the PVC kit, so I am kinda hoping that with that material it will be more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Both of you will be just fine. ABS or PVC, original style brackets or snaps. Both methods and materials are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
