sskunky Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Why do you think there is something different about the strapping or assembly? Because I've seen different ways of strapping it and different ways of assembly. Some have inner over outer and visa versa. I've seen strapping done differently too. The Velcro and elastic strap on the chest plate for starters. That's not on all I've seen. Different thickness elastic in places. If you look at a number of originals there are differences. Many suits were altered during filming. Not all look the same. There's no point looking at one suit and expecting all to be the same.

troopermaster Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 The ESB MKII armour did not have the chest strapping like the ROTJ as it was strapped in two halves - top and bottom. Is that what you have seen or something else? Ā I'm genuinely interested as it will be something new I haven't seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 ROTJ had a single rivet holding the shoulder strap to the chest and it had Velcro glued to it that fixed to the back plate (forget incorrect CRL's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Paul is correct. Ā The outdated CRLs need updating to reflect what know to be accurate up to now. It's not right that people are getting judged on their entry using wrong and outed information..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaitoTrooper[TK] Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I really like your shoulder bells! Ā In general it looks really good. Ā Just one thing: The velcro on you back plate is visible and it may cause some problems during approval. Maybe your back plate wasn't in place or it is too long, but I would clean it up Ā Sent from the shield generator on Endor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco[TK] Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm also going to put snaps on the strap joining the bell to the shoulder strap - I found the velcro will let go if I move too much so will do that later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
