SkaTay[501st] Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Need advice. See attached picture. Where do I trim to top of the Ab armor? In the pictures I marked a line about 1/8" in but I'm not sure if I should be trimming it on the edge so it doesn't have the right angle. I'm just afraid it will jab into my tummy if I leave it. So....overhang or no overhang? What say the pros? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The return edge ads size to the armor giving the illusion of thickness, which is not a requirement btw. If you're going to use brackets then give yourself 3/16 to 1/4" of return edge.

SkaTay[501st] Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Is there a resource as to where the snaps go on the abdomen? I'm working on the belt and don't want to put it together until snaps are in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well since snaps are not movie accurate there is no set location however, a couple individuals have made illustrations of where they believe they would go, here's one.

SkaTay[501st] Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 You're a fountain of knowledge. I thought I should have snaps to keep the belt in place. Will it stay in place without them. What do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Waist belt, popper snaps or line 24 snaps. Either will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
