Seansull[TK] Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think I may have really screwed up my posterior armor. I am using brackets and the WTF kidney/butt are pulled as one piece that the builder separates for ANH builds. I bounced this method around on the WTF FB page and proceeded to do it like the photos below. I'm tall, so bending a new return edge with existing material was not an option. I thought that the screws were going to be hidden by the belt. After revisiting this, I don't think the butt plate screws will be hidden. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

TheSwede[TK] Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Well...they did that on the movie-suits when they needed repair so one could say it`s screen-accurate, painted white the screws won`t be all that visible Personally I would fill the holes with abs-paste and use snaps or just glue the elastic to the inside of the armor, if beeing able of taking it apart isn`t important 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would suggest having a look through the reference gallery, some great photos of screen used armor and bracket placement https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/7-general-stormtrooper-reference/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Your bracket placements are fine. Attaching them to a return edge is ideal but since you barely have any on your WTF armour, attaching them to the face of your armour is your only option. Paint the screw heads white and you're good to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
