Doh ! thanks .... man cheers !

Ithica.. thanks for merging those.. didnt think of it ... Pics will be posted shortly

Attaching Armor.. part 4 (Torso) For this part of the build I have desided that I will use my foam-core method (desribed in part 1) and split the front and back like a 'clam shell'. The top hinges are black webbing easily aquired from the local craft store or military surplus outfitter. Thes...

Attaching Armor.. part 3 (cod piece) This part is actually quite easy ! First you'll need a 3-4 inch black elastic band from the local craft store, and cut to your waist size. Sew the 2 ends together to make a belt. (I recommend making it 1-3 inches shorter than your actual waist size) Next...

Attaching Armor part 2 (boots) The idea here is to have your shin and boot armor cores all attached to one sub-strait while remaining individual of one another... I will be using the foam-core method as described in part 1. with the exception that Vasoline will be used as the releasing agent...

E-Bay or Amazon will do .....

Perhaps the way I have engineered my ''attachment system" will be of some help. (for extremities only-arms,legs). I have considered many different options and various means of 'rigging' and the idea of straps and buckles hanging out all over the place just tweaks my OCD.... So with that said...

Thanks ...

May I suggest Aqua-Resin.... this stuff is completely non-bioreactive, biodergradeble, Green/eco friendly, and you wont have to purchase any extra gear for safety.... Plus it's water cleanup. It also works well using cotton cheese cloth/ gause bandageing rolls as the reinforcing agent on the...
