Hey guys I'm thinking on doing something different for my armor involving magnets.
I was thinking this really interesting thought, the elite armor makers, impressive nobbies, some of my friends, other members armor builds have inspired me to think of this idea....you guys rock!..here goes!
-forearms could be made into 2 shell pieces along "invisible" seems and held together by magnets--3 along each seem and small/ relatively strong, the seem would conform to sections that have lines and grooves and so wouldn't detract from detail and could still have padding and also be magnetically attached to the undersuit.
-shins would also be the same concept as the forearms but adapted for use on shin pieces also magnetically attached to the undersuit.
-hand plates would be attached to the gloves as usual.
-ab plates could be made of flex-foam and attached magnetically and/or rigged.
-torso armor could be made so that the back pack part is attached like a backpack and the chest part could be attached magnetically.
-helmets would be worn as usual.
-shoulder armor could be attached by straps around the bicep and a magnet or two for firm placement.
-groin plates would be worn as usual
-thigh armor could have flex-foam inner thigh parts epoxied to the inside of the actual piece and the actual piece could be strapped and held in place on the undersuit by magnets and snap-on buttons
that's my concept guys, I hope you liked it
P.S. the magnets would not interfere with you fans, batteries, and lights
