Something new? Han's biceps "hook"

Just now finding this post... 14 years later

 

Is there an agreed consensus on what works best for keeping the bicep armor in place, under the shoulder bell?

You need to attach the biceps to shoulder with an elastic. See the answer in your other post

Obviously I'm a little late to the party on this one... I'm currently working on my second TK build. For my first build, I remember that I had to use some sort of bra hooks... Which is what I was researching when I stumbled across this... It kind of reminds me of some other pieces that I have seen for connecting the kidney and butt plate in conjunction with strapping...

I came up with a V tab to keep the kidney and butt plate in alignment.

 

With a heat gun or oven you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate.

How to make bicep hook

Cool. I was already planning on doing something like that for the kidney and butt plate... I had considered something like what you posted for the biceps... It's good for validation in my head... I don't think that I had the elastic that high around the biceps on my last suit, but I'll make adjustments. Thank you!
