LadyInWhite[TK] Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 the big one in front and 5 little tabs (maybe 4 if you're building armor for a smallish person, so it doesn't come down too far in front) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooper_build Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 i ended up going 1 big and 4 small as i was finding it hard to keep the hole thing flat. the bottom of the strip was resting on the edge of the part were the chest curves off to the side. if you know what i mean.

DudeSidious Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 me too, one big five small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I am just about to glue mine, I also asked the question and it seemed most went of the 1 large tab and 5 small. Doesn't sit quite right on ATA armor so I may need a little bit of heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I go for 1x large and 5x small ribs (taller troopers can leave less small ribs). You should really trim the border completely away on the front end of the strap. This allows it to contour better to the shape of the chest when you clamp and glue it in place.
