I NEED YOUR INPUT. 1. 4 Boxes of 1" Inch Black Elastic Straps = 4 yards Total 2. 2 Boxes of 1/1/2" Inch White Elastic Straps = 3 yards Total 3. 1 Box of 1" Inch Black Nylon Straps = 1/2 yard Total 4. 1 Box of 3/4" Inch Black Elastic Straps = 1 yard Total 5. Tandy Factory Nickel Snaps 24 = 100 Snaps Total 6. 2 Tubes of E6000 Glue = 4 oz Total This is my first run for Materials. Are these Reasonable or Well put with my build? Please COMMENT.

bigtrev503 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I used 2 inch white elastic on the shoulders, 1 inch black elastic for all the connections, 3 inch black elastic for the thighs, and the black nylon webbing in squares for my snap plates. Plus you'll need 1 inch white elastic for the drop boxes and 1/16(?) inch elastic for the shoulder bridge connection in the back. Assuming you are doing an ANH setup. THere's no nylon anywhere. The whole thing is elastic. Also, don't forget white industrial velcro for the backs of the calves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 You think 1 1/2 inch elastic will be ok with the shoulders and thighs ? Dang....People told me to use nylon for the thighs. I got the receipt, I can take it back. I do have white velcro for my calves and forearms. Yes Im doing An ANH setup with AP Armor.
