firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 only in back for velcro... in front it butt jointed with abs strips Here is a tip for you which will make your armour look 10 times better.. If you are going to overlap the armour to close it even in the back, make sure the armour part that is doing the overlapping is closing over the top, facing the inside of your body. So your left leg the outer part would close over the inner shin part. This will look much better than the other way round, which is how you seem to have it now.
