Curious to see what others do. I have rivets now, but next time would probably ABS it to be more screen accurate.

From Troopermaster's research, it looks like the back and chest were connected by a strip of canvas with adjustable snaps, and the ABS strip is simply held onto the backplate with an elastic band. I don't know if this is true for all versions though...?

Wha? Nobody used CA glue and accelerator spray?

 

Works like a charm. It cures in less than 10 seconds, and in extreme goof ups you can pop it off (granted, with a LOT of effort) and re-glue. I've yet to have a well-glued joint "pop off" while trooping, though.
