I know my armor isnt the best or great, but its a rough start, and im using new ideas to just start it off. like using scrap wood and old black clothes to join the tops of my chest plate.
As seen here, i have a type of nut.
Im not sure if anyone has seen these, but to sum it up, its a sideways nut and bolt, when i put the bolt through the hole (image 1) i can then tighten the nut (image 2) and it pulls the two together
Now to implement it into my armor
First thing people might notice. I have no middle part at the bottom, you are right.I made the armor a bit too big so i removed it and it fits a lot better.
Place the two together, tighten the nut and whola, not need for Velcro, clips, its hidden (except nut hole) and it feels like how it would be in the halo series.
Last note, i do have to make the top gaps closer and fit on my shoulder. I hope you enjoy what ive done and shared, if it hasnt been shared alreadly The Nut and bolts are called 'Cam Lock Nuts'
