Just a heads up guys, you CAN do this with card stock as well.

Stay safe,

I had the torso armor re-painted, gelcoated the interior black, strapping on the shoulder (to act as hinge) and velcroed both sides on the flange.
Pics on my now page 5 of the photo album:

Damn, you're just a professional at being awesome, huh? Love your armor so far. The torso armor seems a tad big but it does fit in proportion with the helmet. Keep on rockin', bro!MLC said:Update 12/12/07

Copy that on the AR parts scratchbuild...can't wait to see what you come up for that.
Love the work so far...how's the torso armor holding up on your bod? As is, or did you pad it as well?
Stay safe,
Tim.

You know what would be neat. You know how in the premier trailer (where it shows the two kids in the field) where he puts the AR on his back plate?
I think it would be a neat idea that after the AR is done, is that you can position rare-earth metal magnets in corrisponding locations on both back piece and AR so that you can just swing it over your shoulder and let it snapp into place.

It just hangs on my shoulder while the 2 sides is perfectly snug enough to hold around my body![]()

Shoot me a PM for the earth magnets, the electronics store I frequent carry quite a few, and in different sizes. I'm using the small ones for my Fett Helm Earcap.
Stay safe,
Tim.

Alright, there's one site. Its linked to the disks that would seem large enought for this project, but there are several pages. It also labels the magnet's holding power, just have to guage what you think will work. I can tell you that these are very strong. Hope this helps!
